As an aside that level gets you into the next league of cars if you want. F- type for instance - just saying :)
I've been watching V6S prices for over a year, they don't seem to be dropping below 38k
Almost bottomed out

Agreed - in fact the V6S have risen by several 000's since I purchased in March. Partly Summer effect, but Jaguar have done a good job of keeping prices of new up and no massive facelift ageing the model
I expect them to be like the Aston V8 that has never dropped below £30k regardless of age, with F settling at £25k base and £30k S. Spec is everything on F's though

What average Mpg are you achieving?
Anything you don't like about the car?
Didn't fancy an older Vantage roadster for the same money?

Managing high 30's on any sort of long run.
Got it down to 16 in the lakes up 2 passes, but averaged 30 for the 2 days quick driving
Spares are expensive but nobody customises so can get what I need cheap on eBay
Annual service is a pain
Nothing else - really is a dream car...
