Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Prices are adjusted to the model's median mileage before comparing. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.
Marque analyst note
The Jaguar XJ-S in the Australian market is trading at a median of AUD $52,626, down 10.4 percent over the past year, signaling sustained depreciation pressure. With only four sales recorded over twelve months and no active listings, liquidity is thin and price discovery remains challenging for both buyers and sellers.
The XJ-S occupies the stable modern classic category, a segment typically characterized by steady collectors' interest, yet desirability here registers as low. The modest transaction volume reflects limited enthusiasm in the local market, and recent activity aligns with the broader downward trend rather than showing any reversal.
Base projections suggest material weakness ahead, with median values expected to decline to approximately AUD $40,943 within three years—a 22.2 percent fall from current levels—and to AUD $37,861 within five years, representing a 28.1 percent cumulative drop. This sustained erosion reflects softening demand for the model among Australian collectors.
Owners and prospective buyers should note that the thin marketplace means any sale or purchase will likely involve extended holding periods or price negotiation. The combination of low desirability, minimal transaction activity, and negative momentum makes this a difficult market in which to execute confidently.
