I was just wondering how long people keep their F-types for typically?

Having glazed over looking at Porsche approved and seen a 5 owner newish 3yrs old iirc 718 for sale it did seem that they burn through owners quite quickly so it got me thinking about the F-Type.

Coming up to 7 years, in which time I’ve put on over 60k miles - nothing touches an F-Type for value like that and I still smile each time I start up 😎

I think average is not a good indicator of much on these cars. Plenty still going in lease or pcp, which will make them 3-4 years.
Many on here will be longer term as they are the enthusiasts on a forum. I’m 6 years and going nowhere. 2nd on 10 year car iirc
I don’t however see so many of the 5 owner 3 year old like the Porsche you are referencing, but do see lots of 1 or 2 owners from new.

I'm the 2nd owner of mine and had it for 18 months so far.
No plans of changing to something else any time soon, that's for sure.

Each of the 4 Jags I've had was a "keep till I die" purchase, but I got suckered into upgrading to a newer and better one. I can't see anything from jaguar that's better than my F-Type (maybe SVR, but I don't think it's that much of an upgrade and I pretty much know my car's history) , so I'm in it till the end! 6 years so far, and still loving it. :)

1st one, 2 weeks (**** build quality)
2nd one, didn't even get registered in my name (got the order wrong & **** build quality)
3rd one, almost 7 years, so far.

Between the 1st and 3rd I had a brand new loaner which would have been rejected on build quality if I was keeping it. Had it for 6 months until they delivered No.3

I’ve been an F-Type owner since July 2023 after having an XF-R for five years and a Mondeo ST for 11(!) years prior to that. They’re weekend cars for me as I spend my working week in my van, and the F-Type will be a long-term keeper for sure as what do you replace it with, and more importantly you can tell people you drive a Jaaaaag…?

I’ve had my first dream machine F Type since June 22. Thought I would keep forever but I can feel an increasing upgrade itch 😉
