It’s successful for the first time

The I-Pace, the brand’s first and so far only EV, had a whirlwind career. In its first year, more than 3,500 crossed the thresholds of Dutch retailers. Despite the list price of more than 80,000 euros.

I-Pace Jaguar’s best selling ever

After 2018, Jaguar’s flame was quickly extinguished. However, the I-Pace is still the best-selling Jag ever, with total sales of 4,800 units. At least, in Holland. The fact that interest declined sharply after the first year was mainly due to the unfavorable tax climate for expensive electric vehicles.

Slow loading

In addition, many potential customers were shocked by the disappointing range figures and long charging times at the home charging station (1-phase charging) of the first series. In 2019, sales dropped to less than 800 units. The bad situation continued in 2020 (about 460) and in the last three years less than 40 customers were interested in the new I-Pace.

60,000 euros cheaper than new

But how does that usually work when a car is declining in popularity? Then the prices of second-hand copies go down. We put it to the test and open it Marktplaats.nl the I-Pace yacht. The yield is a little disappointing: we come across just over a hundred second-hand I-Paces. Thirteen of these cars fall in the 31 to 35 grand price range. The choice is large between 40,000 and 65,000 euros. The most expensive second-hand I-Pace (2022) is being offered by an optimist who is asking 82,000 euros.

Cheapest I-Pace on Marktplaats

more affordable used Jaguar I-Pace on Marktplaats.nl, dates from 2018 and has 107,000 kilometers behind it. It is very well equipped, with full leather upholstery, a panoramic roof and beautiful 20-inch wheels. This car cost less than 90,000 euros new, and you can now pick it up for 30,999 euros. The first owner therefore dropped almost 60,000 euros on it, or a good 900 euros per month …

No, not an I-Pace with balloon tires!

But what if you prefer an I-Pace with less than a ton on the clock? Then you should look further. Please throw away the cheap versions with 18-inch spoked wheels and balloon tires quickly, because they don’t look good. And of course we find the white, gray or black I-Pace too boring to handle. How about a good red?

Our favorite used I-Pace

Bingo! For 34,995 euros we get the First Edition of the I-Pace EV400 in the attractive color Photon Red. Especially with the duotone wheels, the chunky SUV looks more powerful than most of its siblings. Although it is 3 more expensive than the white car above, the new price was 103,630 euros! That equates to a loss of value of exactly 68,635 euros.

If you didn’t know that the first owner paid a few fatties and marbles in extra taxes, you’d feel sorry for him. Disadvantage of this car: it is provided by an individual. This means you can blow the whistle on the Bovag guarantee. The purchase inspection and battery inspection therefore do not seem to us to be an unnecessary luxury, although the car has been well maintained and has only 66,000 km on the odometer. Because despite everything, 35 grand is still a lot of money.

Fast charging costs money

Worried about the long charging time in the wall box of such an early I-Pace? Then you’re stuck with the copy from after the update (mid 2020). It has an 11 kW charger on board, which allows your tired I-Pace to catch a breath very quickly at a home charging station. Then expect asking prices from 43,000 euros.
