Ouch, but I'm not surprised.

Not far off what I got for my 06 model 55 plate TD6. 66k miles FLRSH.

Does make trading up a bit expensive.
Same money as a deposit for small house to rent out.

The more I look at the blue one, I think it's just right... I even think tints would look wrong on that colour.

It does look nice though.


The blue colour is better than the red IMHO..

Funnily enough that was what i thought Fox , do i buy another flat to rent out or get a car ........ buy that new Baltic Blue drive out the showroom ........ skelp £11k off it right away ..........

Have to say tho sitting outside the dealership , their Demo Jaguar XJ Black with Black factory privacy glass and factory fitted chrome wing mirrors .......... Stunning totally stunning .......... £53k could jump ship for that ....

Much nicer than the red one

£13K for a paint job red to Blue ........

Yea, blue one...  2004 black Vogue TD6

Mick, are you saying the 2011 seats are different from the 2010 ones??...

JJ

Hehe, can't wait to get mine now. Chose the Reg number yesterday. Now just hoping it arrives next week.

Don't know about the 2010 seats but as i said the seats in the 2011 felt as if something was missing at the side bolsters ............

And if i am being picky the door grab handles are not as firm and strong as on mine ,

Loving the Baltic Blue. Been looking at a couple that colour but I would prefer a black or silver one. Blue Is on the cards though. Went to see a few today but not to my taste. We will just have to keep looking

This thing with the seats, they have been getting cheaper for years. The early vogues had nice pleated seats then they stopped the pleats around 05,06 not sure but that alone was a big cost cut. So now the new models seats are not as good,no suprise then!

Also meant to say the Rotary Gear Selector takes a bit of getting used too , kind of an acquired taste really , personally i would still have preferred the Gearstick .........

That trade in value... OUCH!

I was considering a move from my S/C to a TDV8, on an 07 in Buck blue/Sand leather and all the additional toys on 46k I was offered £27k

Private sale has to be the way to go - reckon I'd get £33-35k down here in UK.

The TDV8 I looked at was only a Vogue so missed out some bits, same year, same mileage up for £33k

Does make we wonder whether I should just stick with it for another few years and just forget the trade in value - I was originally expecting to keep it until 2013 and get about £16k for it then.

Yeah even Webuyanycar.com gave me a better price by an extra £2,700 than the dealerships i seen which are part of the Lookers Group ........

I found webuyanycar.com quite competative too.
Only a few hundred off what I got for my 06.
Made me wonder if that's to get you to visit them... then they moan about every tiny mark and try and reduce the price.

What frustrated me about trading in the last one was that it made you wonder why you spent so long looking after it as they didn't really care.
And I should definately have taken the 19s off first with the new tyres. Oh well.
