5000cc V8 Jaguar With 400 Bhp Selling Cheaper Than Maruti Swift
The used car market has seen tremendous growth over the last decade. Not only have mass-market cars become popular, but demand for expensive, used luxury cars has also risen in India. We’ve come across several videos, images, and advertisements where luxury cars worth crores are often sold for less than half of their original price. Here, we have a Jaguar XF luxury sedan available for sale at a price cheaper than a brand-new Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback.
The post has been shared by a seller, Mr. Rohit Bedi, on OLX. The advertisement was posted from Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, showcasing a grey-colored Jaguar XF luxury sedan. This is not a regular XF but a rare version. It features the 5.0-liter V8 engine, which was the most expensive variant of the car when it was on sale. The ex-showroom cost of this Jaguar XF V8 was around 86 lakh.
The grey sedan in the pictures looks well-maintained, with no visible major dents or scratches on the body. It resembles other variants of the Jaguar XF sedan, featuring projector headlamps, LED DRLs, front parking sensors, a chrome-finished front grille, hood ornament, factory-fitted alloy wheels, electrically foldable and adjustable ORVMs, stock tail lamps, Jaguar badge, along with rear parking sensors and a camera.
As mentioned above, the car appears to be in good condition. In most cases, these cars are well-maintained by their previous owners, as they are usually purchased by people who can afford their upkeep. However, it is always a good idea to have the car inspected at an authorized service center or a trusted workshop.
Just like the exterior, the car’s interior also looks well-maintained. It has a beige and grey dual-tone design with wood panel inserts in various places. The car includes a factory-fitted infotainment screen, retractable AC vents, a pop-up rotary gear selector knob, multi-function steering wheel, electric parking brake, multi-zone climate control, leather upholstery, electric sunroof, electrically adjustable seats, premium sound system, and more.
The seat covers and other touchpoints inside the car appear to be in excellent condition, with no signs of rough use. Coming to the details, this is a 2011 model Jaguar XF V8 luxury sedan. Jaguar offered a supercharged V8 version with the R badge, but this particular model is the regular V8 version, generating around 372 bhp and 515 Nm of peak torque.
The sedan has covered approximately 62,000 km and is currently with its second owner. The seller mentioned that the car comes with both keys, valid insurance, and good tires. It is registered in Delhi, and the asking price for this well-maintained XF 5.0-liter V8 sedan is 8.99 lakh.
This price is actually lower than that of a top-end, current-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback. Price for a brand new Maruti Suzuki Swift starts at around Rs 6.49 lakh, ex-showroom and goes up till Rs 9.60 lakh, ex-showroom.
In fact, it is cheaper than lower variants of some of the sub-4 meter SUVs. While the deal may seem tempting, it is advisable to have the vehicle thoroughly inspected before making a final decision, as these cars are quite expensive to maintain.
