Hard to Find

I really like the 2014-15 F-Type Jaguar and personally the V6S rwd with a manual is the best version of the car. Oh and in convertible. But I can’t find any for sale. I find 16 and up for sale, but the early ones with the specs I want I can’t find for sale anywhere. I assume by now many people would be off loading those early ones for the new ones with all the new body styling cues and such. I know it would be very hard to find the one. Especially since I want the red stitching and red seat belts with the black interior and probably the bark blue paint. I also really dig this orange color, but it is a bit too brash for me.

I just like this body more than the new one with all the “angry aero” bits.

Anyway, not that I can buy one right now anyway, just looking cause I want to buy one and drive down to Mexico and join the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! guys to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! because they keep updating me on their trip and I want desperately to do something like that.

Well I just thought It was interesting that I can’t find any for sale nationwide (USA)

UPDATE: Apparently the manual came out in 15... So there shouldn’t be many used ones on the market yet. Damn

They made those with a manual? I didn’t think that started until last year.

If they did, maybe no one ordered one?

I thought 2016 was the first year with a manual.

No, the V6 always had a manual option. The V8 never and still doesn’t.

Nope, when the F-Type launched it was exclusively automatic. The manual was introduced in 2015

Well I found 1 standard V6 with a manual for sale, but not the S model.

I’m sure there were a lot of 3, 4, 5 year leases on those things. Your best bet will probably be CPO since dealers will look for good lease examples as the contracts expire.

No, it didn’t. At least in the US. I don’t care about the rest of the world :).

Really, so I would have to find a ‘15 MY to satisfy my old body style want? Well that is seriously stupid. Thanks for the info

15 or 16 they started.

I don’t know if the S had the manual until 16'. I know the 15 got the manual but it might’ve been base trim only.

Negative. We initially only got the auto. And having driven both iterations, I prefer the dual-clutch honestly. Maybe it’s just me, but the manual feels a little out of place in that car.

Also, remember to pull the F43 fuse. You’ll thank me later.

Aren’t the 2016 V6s also pre-ground effects cars?

Looking at it I think the ‘17s are too. It turns out it is the R vehicles with the ground effects... Bad on my part. Guess I need to win the lottery and just order the perfect F-Type.

Is that the exhaust one?

So I would never have to hit the button? It would always be on?

‘16S manual no ground effects

Ok cool. They ‘17s all have them I guess.... Beautiful color. How do you like it?

I really enjoy the car, if you decide to make the plunge one day you’ll be very pleased.

I will eventually. It is on the list of cars to replace the Goat or next DD at some point.

You should do a write up cause I don’t see any yet.

I had no trouble finding ‘14s coming off leases, but none with manuals, as you note, and you need to wait because every year knocks a lot off the price.

Yeah I went to Jag’s site and there were tons of CPO and such vehicles, but very few manuals and even less in specs I want. At this rate I’ll just have to order one when I have money.

While you’re at it, order a coupe for bad weather days, too.

I would totally drive it with the top down in bad weather like it should be driven.

Finding a Manuel is a difficult proposition.

I don’t know why, but 90% of the F-Types weren’t purchased in fun colors - exterior or interior. Hell, its even harder to find an F-Type with a non-black interior than a manual lol

Personally, this is what I would buy :)

F-Type R Coupe with Carbon ceramic brakes for $62k!

Yeah, that is nice, but I want a vert and manual. I do like that red though. That would be quite the ride.

I like the black interior. The only other options are red and white and both are too intrusive for my tastes.

There is a saddle brown that I love, but it is super rare to find :(

Yeah, that would look good with the BRG I think. Throw in some custom matching leather suitcases.
