How do auto companies like Jaguar stay in business?
I’ve seen like 5 jags my whole life. Same for Bentley, rolls Royce and a few others. They sell like 10 cars a year. Where’s the profit in that?
Most of the nicer cars I see in my area are Beamers, Mercedes, Lexus, Ferrari, Lambos. There’s a few brands that you never see though.

Can you imagine how much it costs just to get replacement parts for one of those super sports cars, let alone getting professional work of any kind done on them?

Like a Rolls, Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini is all hand-made. They take a long time going over each car they produce, and they're very special. People are willing to pay a lot for that kind of treatment.

Rolls had their most profitable years ever the past 3.
i believe they are locked up for production for 10 years as well so its all waitlist.

Most Ferraris and Lambos you can buy at a dealer can be serviced at a dealer. Heck I saw a La Ferreri being serviced at my Ferrari dealer last time I went there.

Bentley is owned by Volkswagen these days and is highly profitable for them from what I can tell
Volkswagen also owns Lamborghini and Porsche, and there’s more and more crossover happening in their vehicles. An Audi RSQ8 shares quite a bit of stuff with a Lamborghini Urus
Bugatti is also owned by VW

My girlfriend has driven a few Jags. I've a neighbor that does as well. If you want a mid tier car in the 75-130K range its not a bad option.
Yes you can get pretty sweat Audi, Merc and BMW in that price range. But they are really common cars/brands. If you want something different Jags drive/handle good and are nice inside.
