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 settled at a US$15,000 median after declining 4.7 percent over the past year, having reached what appears to be a floor in the market. The BUY signal reflects this stabilization following a period of downward pressure, suggesting the model has found support at current levels.

Transaction volume remains modest but consistent, with 23 sales recorded over the trailing twelve months and 55 total tracked sales in the dataset. This moderate liquidity means buyers will find examples available without excessive wait times, though sellers should expect deliberate rather than competitive bidding environments.

The typical XJ-S transacting today carries approximately 47,500 miles, indicating most examples in the market represent well-used but serviceable specimens. These mileage figures align with the model's age profile and suggest reasonable mechanicals on offered units.

XJ-S models occupy the stable modern classic category, a tier that emphasizes preservation rather than appreciation. With moderate desirability and a collectibility score of 5, the model attracts enthusiasts and period-piece buyers rather than speculative collectors, keeping it grounded in realistic valuations.

Base projections hold the median flat at US$15,000 through both the three- and five-year outlook, reflecting a market that has found equilibrium. The model's future pricing will depend largely on maintenance costs, parts availability, and whether the enthusiast base expands—neither a sharp recovery nor further deterioration appears likely from current fundamentals.
