Second hand 75

[Potter]

I appreciate it’s a long shot but does anyone recognise this F type 75? DY23EDJ https://used.jaguar.co.uk/approved-used/jaguar-f-type-75-8bae3a55eb6e3c06701c6c405ec796ebd460eeeb?___SID=U
It’s a bit more than my original budget but looks a good price given the spec and age. That said, I don’t know if dealers are offering discounts on list price of new 75s. On the configurator a new car would be around £84k.
All views welcome. Last time I bought a new car was 2004!

P450 AWD, car 83589.
I believe it was a demonstrator car at Hatfield's Shrewsbury. All I can find but ask them.

Looks a nice specimen, however does it have a pano roof, I think it’s a must on an F Type, especially when spending that on one.

Panoramic roof is there, yes.

the only thing I'm curious about is the mileage discrepancy from the description and the photos. I can only presume the photos were taken a while ago?

As it might be a demonstrator and it might still be use or manager taking it home?

Hi Simple R, I’m thinking on up grading from my current Reims edition( p300 guise) to a P450 75, and I’ve seen good examples like this one, loaded with expensive options, with little mileage, being offered as a ex demo vehicle, my question is, are they to good to be true?

Contacted the dealer and it is their current demonstrator. There are a couple of others of similar spec on auto trader at around the same price so perhaps the price is fair rather than a great price. Have to see if I can stretch my budget though!

Jaguar demonstrator cars are ran by Paragon Fleet Solutions. These will always be 'O' plate cars as Paragon are based in Oxford. ('V' are Jaguar press cars and new 21-23 plate cars are KT-KW which are used by Jaguar for events such as Fen End Driving Experiences). Of course some cars, such as 'O' plate cars registered at Jaguar Oxford will of course be non-fleet cars.

The cars come under one of three descriptions at the end of the lease (typically 12 months but can range from 6 to 15 months): An ex-demonstrator an 'O' plate would typically be number 2 where the dealer buys the car from the lease company Paragon. The descriptions when they go through closed JLR auctions are:

1) Ex Corporate Repurchase
A Jaguar/Land Rover vehicle previously owned by a vehicle rental company or allocated to a fleet available to JLR partners.
Possible multiple users.

2) Ex Jaguar Internal Fleet
A Jaguar/Land Rover vehicle previously allocated to a fleet available to JLR customers and partners.
Possible multiple users.

3) Ex Jaguar Management
A Jaguar/Land Rover vehicle previously allocated to an individual employee.

I don't think anything is wrong with an ex-demonstrator, its just had a lot of drivers I guess, which might bother some and not others. Like any used car, a good inspection and all the usual checks are essential but if it's Jaguar used approved you have 2yrs of Jaguar manufacturer warranty to fall back on anyway.

Thanks Craig. It sounds good but I’m really looking for a P450. Best of luck though.
