Used prices are moving lower, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping for value. The table shows a decline rather than a rise, so buyers may find better entry points than they did a year ago. The 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

• Sweet-spot year: The 2016 model has the most listings at a current average price of $16,970. The Jaguar XJ-Series offers a graceful, distinctive luxury-sedan character with a tailored cabin and strong long-distance comfort.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: A 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque comes standard on all Base and AWD models, while Supercharged models turn up with a 5.0-liter V8 delivering 470 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: The 8-inch touchscreen interface is easy to use, the Meridian audio system offers Surround Sound processing, and the doors have a soft-close feature with electric motors.

• Starting price: A well-equipped XJ like ours was $83,000.

If you're buying used today, the 2016 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2020 inventory to mature.
