Quite surprised to get the alert below on a 2013 Jaguar XJ L Supercharged unicorn I’ve been tracking – a $4,000 drop on a $33,000 car is quite unusual. Believe it’s still part of CarMax’s aggressive end of fiscal year inventory reduction (hypothesis here) that I’ve seen two years running. May have to keep some cash in reserve next spring and see what bargains turn up? Believe the Jaguar sold for aboout $100,000 new.
This XJ L is a two-owner (NY and MD) car, with a 470 hp 5.0 l V-8, eight speed automatic transmission, relatively light aluminum (pronounced aloominium, of course) 4,300 pound structure, and way cool airplane tray tables in the rear for passengers in the back. No overhhead bin space, though. Not a big fan of the baseball glove leather or the NASCAR black wheels but wouldn’t turn it down. Something about a long wheelbase luxury car that clips 4.5 second 0-60 mph runs that works for me. Of course, I’d spring for MaxCare and eliminate worries about expensive repair costs. Find this big beauty here in Gaithersburg, MD.Â
I’d seriously be interested if this pops up again.
How about the XJ Ultimate?
