One would imagine that the frugal diesel variants will retain the most of their value, but in the case of the XF, it’s very much an even draw.
We didn’t factor this into our calculations, because all of the cars we considered have less than the industry-average (for their age) mileage of 60 000 kilometre anyway – in fact, the highest-mileage XF in our listings still slips below the 50 000 mark. Of far greater significance is the car’s mileage, with lower-mileage cars fetching appreciably higher prices in the used market. At most, options should make a difference of around R40 000 to the car’s second-hand value, in the case of a full-house car, which may account for some of the discrepancies we notice here. However, it’s also well-known that a car’s factory options seldom influence their resale value as much as they influence the car’s price when new. It needs to be kept in mind that many of the cars listed on AutoTrader may have all manner of expensive options fitted, which will obviously skew their second-hand value somewhat.

However, it’s impossible to correct our data for this fact, so these price variations will be disregarded for the purposes of this evaluation. However, the value of optional extras seldom reflect fully in used-car prices, which often brings a lot of added value to loaded used cars for comparatively small price premiums. For instance, none of the V6-engined variants are listed on site – which makes sense, because those cars were very pricey from new, and consequently sold in miniscule numbers to start off with.Īlso remember that some cars may be fitted with added-cost options, which will have an impact on both new- and used values. Not all launch variants are simultaneously available in the pre-owned market, so we restricted this list to cars that were available on site at the time of writing. To determine which Jaguar XF trim depreciates the fastest, we searched the listings on AutoTrader for used, current-generation XFs from the 2016 model year (when they first arrived on local shores), and compared their averaged current prices to what they cost when new.
