jaguar f type v8s costs more than xkr s in india

Jaguar has launched the F-Type in India, priced at an insane Rs. 1.37 crore for the V6 S and Rs. 1.61 crore for the V8 S (no base V6 on offer). Jaguar has almost confused Indians with the F-Type’s pricing as the 2-seater sportscar costs more than the XK in the country.

To put it into perspective, check out the Indian pricing of the F-Type and its competitors in US Dollar (converted as per today’s exchange rate 1$ = Rs. 59.80/-). The prices are in ascending order and on-road Mumbai, inclusive of registration and insurance charges.

How about breaking down these prices for those of us in the bleachers? What does the actual car cost, vs. the taxes and fees and whatever? I am assuming that a HUGE portion of those prices is tax, I can't imagine JLR is making multiples of the profit they make on the car elsewhere. And relatively speaking, how is the exchange rate to the dollar? Assume rather bad at the moment, as the dollar is quite weak worldwide. I realize we get cars a lot cheaper than many places in the states, but our prices include NOTHING beyond the actual price of the car. In my state you can add another 7.5% tax, plus several hundred minimum in fees, another couple hundred for registration, and another bunch of cash for insurance that varies wildly by who you are and where you live.

  I think its entirely possible they're making profits in the 100% and higher region. In Australia, the manufacturer RRP for the F-Type is $120,500. Dealer fees $5,000 (hundreds of dollars is a bargain, BMW/Merc/Audi are ~$3000). Luxury Car Tax (30% of everything over $60,000) is another $20,000. Insurance and other taxes - $7260. So as you can see, even the base model before tax is already much more than your V8 after on-roads and taxes. I think its a combination of high taxes and manufacturers ripping people with some money off.

  The prices I mentioned are inclusive of taxes, insurance, registration, etc. It's the final price you pay. Every car of the same price bracket is charged a similar amount. That is why, I have given other car prices are reference.

No taxes in Oregon, sticker plus shipping, plus options, is the cost.

Lorenzo The Renaissance Center was spearheaded by Henry Ford II to revitalize the Detroit waterfront. The round towers were a huge mistake, with inefficient floorplans. The space is largely unusable, and rental agents were having trouble renting it out.GM didn't know that, or do research, when they bought it. They just wanted to steal thunder from Ford by making it their new headquarters. Since they now own it, GM will need to tear down the "silver silos" as un-rentable, and take a financial bath.Somewhere, the ghost of Alfred P. Sloan is weeping.
MrIcky I live in a desert- you can run sand in anything if you drop enough pressure. The bigger issue is cutting your sidewalls on sharp rocks. Im running 35x11.5r17 nittos, they're fine. I wouldn't mind trying the 255/85r17 Mickey Thompsons next time around, maybe the Toyo AT3s since they're 3peak. I like 'em skinny.
Adam4562 I had summer tires once , I hit a pothole the wrong way and got a flat tire. Summer tires aren’t as durable as all season , especially up in the northeast . They are great of u live in Florida or down south . I have all season tires which are on my Subaru which is awd. My mom has a car so she switches from all season to snow tires . I guess depends on the situation
MaintenanceCosts I hope they make it. The R1 series are a genuinely innovative, appealing product, and the smaller ones look that way too from the early information.
