Super V8 or XJR: Worthy Cars?

Parents are considering either an XJR or Super V8. Leasing makes absolutely no sense, as both the residuals and money factors are bad.

Purchasing might work out OK, except resale is likely to stink.

Is it worth considering either of these cars, or should they just bite the bullet and get the more expensive (and much better) S63?

Tell them to buy used...especially if an S63 - they have terrible resale!

2 current top contenders are:

2007 Jag XJR - New, never titled, leftover stock from last year. MSRP $84,xxx. Selling price $67,xxx. Seems like a steal.

2007 S63 - Lease takeover for $1970 per month, nothing out of pocket. Also an exceptional deal.

I am selling our 2008 S63 with roughly 7K miles. Its currently under a lease however our payment is a bit higher. Its black on black perfect condition minus a scrape on the front wheel. FYI

MGM, thanks very much for the offer, but the edict from the parents was quite clear: NO BLACK CARS!

Beautiful as they are, they need a change of pace. (their last 4 cars were black).

Are they still in the market? I've got a Slate '07 XJR that's nicely equipped, and we're looking for offers. MSRP is $81,500. I'm new to here, but was on sixspeed a lot. PM or e-mail at mike_breon@tomwood.com
