that doesn't make sense? I thought there was no repair option? You are saying your turned down 50K for your 2019 I pace?
Just a reminder, I am sharing my experience from the H484 recall. It seems to me that at some point, JLR has to make its customers satisfied or face fines since this is a recall. My suspicion is that you have received an opening offer and that if you are patient you may get a better offer. But I am no smarter than you so I may be wrong. It would seem reasonable that the experiences of those who went through (and are still going through) the H484 recall might benefit those in the H514 recall.
Yes, I turned down $50,000 as a check to me since if used for car replacement I had to pay sales tax on the new car, so the $50,000 quickly dropped to $45,000. Other users of this forum shared their experiences. One received $60,000 credit on an new car (not a check). Another paid $7,000 for a 2024 I-pace. Another traded keys for his/her 2019 I-Pace and drove home with a 2023 I-pace with "$0 out of pocket". When I shared these expectations with the JLR rep, I was told that my information was inaccurate. After 6 months, I was a bit worn down but still felt that given my low milage car and the fact that I tend to keep cars for 10 years, it was not fair to me that I needed to come up with $25 K plus or minus to get a replacement I-Pace. When my charging port broke, the car was then actually in the dealership for repair and Jaguar replaced the batteries and fixed all other electrical issues at no charge to me. I felt this was a fair solution although I would have preferred to be treated like the other customers. The other customers may have been from California or they may have had dealers who were willing to advocate for them. This was my first new Jaguar and I bought it from another dealer; I received no advocacy from the dealership whatsoever on buyback / trade but I received excellent treatment from the service department.
My suggestion for your consideration is that if you think the offer is not fair, then say no. This is a recall. They may try to wear you down but in the final analysis you have to agree to the deal. In my case it was a 6 month process and I believe it has been longer for others.
If your dealer will advocate for you, that may be helpful. Unfortunately, that may be rare. Here is one youtuber's thoughts on Jaguar dealers.
If you find any of this useful, you may want to save a copy. Some of my prior posts have disappeared.
Good luck. The I-pace is a great car and hopefully this experience will turn out well for you in the long run.
