Luxury car shopping a left-over, year-end model closeout 2011 BMW, Lexus or Mercedes Benz this Labor Day?

Put JAGUAR at the top of your list!

Unlike the other brands mentioned, inventory and deals are heads over the others when comparing size, features and discount off MSRP, especially when leasing. Discounts, and low money-factors (interest rates) are drawing in car shoppers looking to take advantage of a year-end deal.

Jaguar tops BMW, Lexus and Mercedes for leasing 2011 model at year end.

While many 2011’s do not lease well at the end of the model year, luxury car manufacturers actually subsidize their lease residuals to meet timing of new model year releases. This often results in BMW, Lexus, Mercedes Benz and Jaguar holding special lease deals for the end of the model year close-outs to attract clients who are not traditionally their buyer or trade a present owner into something new. This also bodes well for clients currently leasing other makes, who are interested in making a switch, as end of the model year rebates and incentives coupled with “competitive” brand rebates can ease a client out of a vehicle they don’t like or have over-mileage on their lease, before the end of term. Early lease terminations are very attractive during Labor Day close-out events, marked as unique annual opportunities to make a move at minimal cost, sometimes to a lower payment. Compared to a BMW 5 series or 760, Lexus GS or LS or Mercedes Benz 550, the Jaguar XF, XJ, or XJ-L offers a better value for 2011; including all services INCLUDED in their Platinum warranty for 5 years or 50k miles, hello! (BMW only includes basic service for 4 years, 50k. Lexus includes nothing.)

SELECTION IS GREAT leading up to the Labor Day 2011 sales weekend.

There is still a good selection of new 2011 Jaguar XF, XJ or XJ-L or even a XK Coupe or Convertibles, if you know what dealers to shop. Small towns and places with tough economics, like Las Vegas are good places to find a steal of a deal in luxury cars, if you are flexible on color and options. While the 2011 Jaguar XF Premium Luxury package models may be scarce, the S model and a few Premium models are still available, with an advertised lease deals as low as $499.99 a month, at least in Las Vegas. The Jaguar XJ and XJ-L inventory of remaining 2011 year-end models are mostly in dark colors and fully-loaded but Labor Day holiday is a great time to grab one while other last minute vacationers are sitting on the beach. The 2011 model year close-outs on 2011 Jaguar XK Coupes and Convertibles will find discounts up to $10,000.00 for the consummate LABOR DAY consumer. All bets are off after September 5th, so grab one NOW before you miss the boat. This changes for 2012, so along with great lease deals, you should make a move on the last of the 2011 model close-outs in Jaguar, as the 2012 Jaguar XF new Portfolio edition have already arrived at some dealers.
