Would you buy this F-Type R?

Mine is 6 1/2 years old and has 92k on it and has been driven daily all winter and flew through it's last MOT & service.

From reading the advert:
- Jaguar + 1 private owner (tick)
- 25k miles (tick) - probably not just short journeys
- PPF and ceramic coating (tick)
- 1 year Jaguar warranty (big tick)
- Opf cats replaced with the previous unfiltered versions (tick)
- FSH (tick)

It reads like car being sold on behalf of the owner. This car doesn't seem to have been run on a shoestring, as ceramic, ppf and the replacment Cats aren't cheap.

In terms of the sound. It will be noisy, as it has had the Cats replaced with the non-opf versions. The pops and crackles have dimimished over time, with the early cars (pre 2017 ish) being very raucous. They were tamed slightly after that, then further in late 2018/19 with the opf. Still there but not as easily provoked as on the very early cars.

As SimpleR mentioned, confirm that the rear diff oil was changed at 4 years (Rybrook?) as it ought to have been at that interval, circa £150 if it hasn't.

"High" mileage at least shows it hasn't spent a lot of its life in the garage being fixed ...

I've edited your post!
I wouldn't go near it with yours let alone mine

Cat's replaced....why?
For noise, no, they're expensive.

More than likely had the common stuck injector issue that wrecked the first set - I could be wrong.......

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy my first F-Type, and in fact my first Jag.

I know it will be a MY19 V8 R and I'm about to pull the trigger on one but the milage made me pause for a second.

Here's the AutoTrader ad: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... posit=true

I wanted a MY19+ because of the new infotainment system, seats, and frontend changes. It has everything I wanted from flat-bottomed steering wheeling, black pack, the fixed wing, Jag warranty, and even has the pre-OPF exhaust which I understand is extremely rare for this MY. The tyres + pads are all pretty much brand new.

But it has 26k miles on it. I can pickup something with ~10k miles less for £2 - £5k more but without the options, warranty, and pre-OPF exhaust.

Would you buy it? Anything I should look out for? The 12 month Jag warranty (that I will extend) gives me some peace of mind.

Also, why is insurance so expensive?! It's 1.5x my previous car (2019 GTR).

Cheers!

Hi.
If you need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line.
Regards,
Dan.

And thar she blows—Felicity the F-Type.

I’ve been driving her for the past hour and think I prefer it to my GT-R. The throttle response is a lot more sharper, especially at low revs. And the interior is just beautifully simple.

And holy shit the noise

IMO having looked at a lot before buying mine. A 2021 with 18k miles and now has 21k so long as the colour and spec meet your requirements and it has full service history, I wouldn't worry about the mileage unless you plan to put loads on it. Mine will eventually be low mileage due to 5k insurance limit.

What's with all the old thread revivals at the moment?
