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 has retreated to a median asking price of $15,000 in the US market, down 10.4 percent over the past twelve months. This depreciation carries a SELL signal and reflects broader softening in the model's market segment.
Transaction activity remains modest, with 23 tracked sales over the past year among our database of 41 total XJ-S records. The moderate liquidity suggests buyers are selective at current price points, and sellers should expect extended holding periods or price adjustment to move inventory.
The XJ-S occupies a stable modern classic tier with moderate collectibility and desirability ratings. These grand tourers have proven resilient in the market, but their appeal remains niche—sufficient to avoid steep declines but not strong enough to drive near-term appreciation.
Cars in active sales show an average mileage of approximately 47,400 miles, indicating that well-maintained examples with lower odometer readings command modest premiums while higher-mileage specimens face steeper discounting. Condition and service history appear to be meaningful price differentiators within this range.
The base projection holds the median flat at $15,000 through both the three and five-year horizons, with no meaningful upward or downward movement anticipated. This reflects the XJ-S's established position as a pragmatic classic rather than a market-leading collectible poised for significant revaluation.
