SVJ worth an extra $100k-ish over SV

Looking at both the SV and SVJ.  Aside from the aero and all wheel drive, is the pricing  justified for the SVJ?  They've dropped about $100k from new within just a year.  While the SV are now in the mid to higher $300s.  For sure the SVJ looks mental, just trying to see if it's worth the extra money.

I love both.  Sv might hold value better due to lower production #s.

+1.

Imo the SVJ hasn't bottomed out yet so you'll take a hit whereas the SV's have seem to have bottomed out in particular the SV roadster.

I love both cars but the SVJ looks much more aggressive and drives better.

I dont think the Sv has bottomed out yet either.. 

I agree.  Can't go wrong with either.  However, I don't think SV has bottomed out either.  If SVJ continues to drop but SV does not, then the difference in price would be nominal and that would make choosing the SVJ a no-brainer.  But nothing can a hold a candle to the SVJ in terms of sheer looks and aggression, not even most hyper-cars.  Just wish it sounded the part.  Perhaps removing the primary cats would fill in that void.

I agree. SV market continues to evolve.  the SV-R seems to be holding better but again, not at bottom of depreciation curve. The SVJ is a much much better car in driving dynamics, looks etc. That market is definitely on the move & as stated perviously, lots more of them were made.  By thought: Buy what you love--drive it and enjoy it. YOLO. If you're too focused on depreciation, there are way better investments for your $300-500k. Don't look at a car.

I think the SVj is the best looking car you can buy, regardless of price. 

I love mine. The car is awesome.

If you don’t already have an sv then yep 

 

I've actually started to really like SVJ the more i drive it at first i thought SV was better but the more i use it the more i realise the SV just feels rougher at sub 70 mph speeds and therefore feels more exciting/special when you are tootling around also exhaust valves are open from zero in SV but not in J which helps. 
But when you actually properly drive it down some nice roads the SVJ is dynamically in another league and you can actually feel what its doing a lot more, its a much easier car to drive fast and feel you are actually participating.

Stunning car sprite.

I'll try to get some real photos at some point. I haven't been to any car shows or linked up with any photographers since I got the car because of the pandemic.
