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 Australia sits at a median of AUD $52,626, down 10.4% over the past twelve months—a clear depreciation signal in an already soft market. With only four tracked sales over that period, price discovery is limited, and the "SELL" signal reflects sustained downward pressure that shows no sign of stabilizing.
Liquidity remains thin, and desirability scores are low, which constrains both buyer interest and seller flexibility. The absence of active listings at the time of this snapshot suggests either genuine scarcity or lack of market enthusiasm; either way, moving inventory quickly would likely require price concession.
The XJ-S occupies the stable modern classic category, a middle ground between ordinary used cars and true collectible investment pieces. Its collectibility score of five places it on the periphery of serious collector attention, making it sensitive to broader shifts in British classic demand.
Base projections are decidedly negative, with the median expected to reach AUD $40,943 within three years (down 22.2%) and AUD $37,861 within five years (down 28.1%). These forecasts reflect ongoing depreciation rather than any reversal to stability.
Sellers holding Australian XJ-S examples face a headwind: limited transaction volume, low collector appeal, and downward momentum all argue for patience or moving stock sooner rather than later. Buyers, conversely, may find deeper discounting ahead, particularly if the broader British classic market remains tepid through 2025 and 2026.
