Hi all
First let me say how amazing it is to have such a forum with all this useful information from you guys.
I am a potential new F-pace owner and never had a Jaguar or Land Rover car before.
My mind was fixed on getting a used Velar (cost of new one is out of my budget) but these are still quite expensive. I recently changed my mind and now I have (almost) decided that I want to get a used (Jaguar approved) F-Pace, 3.0 diesel V6. I wouldn't mind it being 2 years old as long as it doesn't have high mileage.
However, some of you here suggested that it would be better to get a 2018 model as these ones have fewer issues reported.
But since I am going for the 3.0 diesel V6, the cost of a used 2018 model with that engine would be out of my budget.
I am planning to visit my local dealer and test-drive a 25D model to see whether that is adequate for me or not (based on what I am reading here, 3.0d is the engine to go for in order to really have a fulfilling driving experience).
I would really appreciate your input/advice on the following:
1) Are there any specific issues that you should look for in a used F-Pace? (apart from checking if specific options are included or if it was rejected)
What would make you steer away from one?
2) There are a few used (Jaguar approved) First Edition's out there on autotrader.co.uk.
I understand that these are loaded with extras and of course with the 3.0 diesel V6 engine.
Assuming that the colors and price are not a problem, would you go for one of those or would you rather go for a used 2018 model with fewer extra's (taking into account that FE's may have more issues as they were the first to come out).
I know of course that such decisions come down to personal preferences but your input and advice would be highly appreciated and help me make up my mind
