Hey there Jake. That's excellent news. You will love that car. I am currently considering updating to a facelifted version because since I sold my Jag a few months ago, I miss it so much. That car will serve you well 😉😊

Jake, could you please Tell me through out all these 8 months, did the jaguar give you any trouble? I want to buy a jaguar Xf 2012 but im just worried if it gives too much trouble or failures. If its okay can you give a small review?

@@atahanhakan did you buy the jag if yes then did you face any issues?

I agree. They are solid cars.

Don't buy a Mercedes-Benz. Quality is atrocious and things will start falling apart after a few years of ownership. Nice when new, but not a good 2nd hand buy. I've looked at many and small things like seat belt clips that break, window switches failing, dash components failing, faulty instrument clusters and inability to communicate with the ECU.

Thanks a lot for the advice, I will consider this when my car celebrates its 100'00km birthday ;)

Manual mode is for track days, don't use it on the road, also put the car in track mode and only use manual in sport rather than drive.

Hey AB, thanks for watching. Yeh, when it comes to oil changes I leave that to the dealer. At least I get a year warranty on parts and labour. Btw, you bought the perfect XF. A 3.0 s/c is very powerful and doesn't require as much maintenance as the V8 s/c. Just make sure you definitely change the oil once a year or every 15,000km, otherwise the oil turns to sludge and you will soon have a piston through the block. A neighbor of mine did that to his and now the car was written off. 😉

Thanks for the advice Hilton. Looking forward watching more of your You Tube postings. AB

I agree. Their labor rates are the equivalent of £100 here per hour, but still it's high for one gets.

Thanks man. Congrats on your purchase. You will never want to get rid of it.

HarYHel Congrats on your purchase :-) You are going to love it.

How do you like it? Have you had any problems?

As it happens,I am viewing one tomorrow.This vid.and similar ones,will help me make my decision!

Mendellev Keev You will enjoy your XF for many more miles. They are quite reliable and so good to drive on long trips.

Tell me, do you giggle like a nutter every time you give it a bit of welly & do you smile every time you see it and sit behind the wheel. I do and i am sure other XFR owners do.

Thanks is Mike. I recently had the same experience with Jaguar. I had to take it back 3 times to fix a suspension noise and leaky a/c. Then on the 3rs attempt, they buckled both left side wheels hitting a pothole during a test drive. Luckily I had my dashcam to give me the proof. Now I'm waiting for lockdown to stop to get my new wheels out of them after they repaired the damaged ones but vibration still there. It doesn't end with dealers. I literally hate them.

@@carfanfan , Ive had similar problems. What erks me about dealers service is " service writers " make commision on everything they write. This isn't just Jaguar but all dealer service . I've done some pretty complicated repairs , but saved thousands and aggravation. I'm trying to do my front brakes on my xf. Seems Jaguar used an 11 mm hex drive for caliper slides . They don't sell em anywhere . I'm waiting on one from eBay right now. KZfaq shows most all repairs you need to do if your a bit handy it just takes time and the right tools .

@@mikejacobs4727 It's good if you can service your own car Mike, but that stamp means a lot in the service book when selling it on. Keeps the resale value higher. I can't work on mine as it's still under warranty and maintenance plan. I'll probably extend the warranty if I have it past this year but not the service plan. It's actually quite reliable despite the suspension noise and a/c leak, but engine has been solid and gearbox. Never skips a beat. I still yearn for an older XF with the 3.0 s/c engine or an XFR.

@@carfanfan , if your having an issue with a/c it might be the direct pressure sensor valve. It is a faulty part of the a/c system and a common problem with the compressor. eBay has em any a/c shop can install it rather easily. Just a thought . The way you tell is the low side pressure in the system will be spiked. Air will be semi cool and hot. I changed mine and it blows ice cold again

@@mikejacobs4727 Thanks Mike but both issues were already fixed. 😉

Crypto Power Hey there, did you manage to buy one yet bro? ;-)

Yes, my brother Hilton! I bought a green one in Octobre 2017. Dream car. Unfortunately it is broke right now. Motor makes sounds and the power is gone. I am very frustrated since it is a dream car. It is not in Jaguar. But I must bring it in if my friend cant fix it! Otherwise it is a dream car!!!!

Thanks for watching Jeremy. I'm sorry to hear about your dad's cancer. My own father passed away February last year from cancers as well. Not nice to see someone you love suffer. I'm sure you will look after your dad's XF like he did and I'm sure it will look after you just as good. 😉

Hilton thanks for you kind words and sorry to here about your mother my friend,I lost my mother a few years back tuff times . , I’ll always love my jag ,it’s metallic dark green with the beige leather and wood pretty damn nice and now only done 71 k so loads Of miles left in it. Take care and be safe in this crazy world at the moment 👍

Ben Twomey You gonna love that car 😁

I want that car

Poppa Bear I wish I had waited for an XFR to become available but I was impatient. You are indeed very fortunate. The V8 supercharged version is an awesome monster of a car.

My XF Portfolio 5.0 V8 is my fave - Only 68 in the UK too - True ethos of Grace Space and Pace - Other toy is a sleek tail happy XKR 5.0 V8 Supercharged - unfortunately without the adaptive cruise control of the Portfolio but with a 510 hp soundtrack and GT comfort - In my opinion the supercharged 5.0 V8's need to be AWD but the F Type is just too small for my needs.

sichere You are one Lucky guy. I wish I could have an XK as well as my XF. The XK is gorgeous. Never let it go, you will regret it one day.

Thanks - I know it's a bit extravagant but I can't seem to decide which one to keep. I like the performance and style of the XKR and it's only done 10k. I think it's a much more sophisticated practical every day car and less pretentious than an Aston Martin Vantage or DB9 . Shame Jaguar discontinued them for the F Type

Richard Greene Thanks for watching Richard. I'm a Jaguar fanatic since buying my XF. I still love my car despite the few things that went wrong with it 😁

I can see you have found in yours what I found in mine. It's something special you can't out your finger on but only a privileged few will ever experience it because the rest of the herd go for the other three Germans.

Thanks Andrew, if you ever get one, make sure it's the X250 model - the X260 (XF 3rd gen) does not have the quality materials this car has - mine still smells like new inside because of the genuine leather.

wow, a 2014 Sportbrake huh? Nice! I know what you mean about pricing - my XF is due for its annual service and they told me the transmission service is due - quoted me almost 2000 pounds to do it - I'm not good under the car's hood, so I don't have much of a choice here - but at least the experience is enjoyable - they treat me like a king, the sort of experience you'd expect from Rolls Royce or Bentley ;-)

I'm not surprised. It's an awesome car and is really fun to drive.

Thanks so much. Jaguars had a reputation regarding reliability, so it was difficult making the decision to buy or not. But I'm not sorry now - it's such a solidly built car and I'm really impressed with its reliability. I wish you luck with getting yours (hopefully soon) - you will enjoy it so much and every mile will put a smile on your face ;-)

Graham Pearson Thanks Graham, appreciate you watching ;-)

Nathaniel Curtis LoL, thanks I think 😂

Indeed a compliment! A movie is only as good as its antagonist. lol

oh! By the way, do you use any kind of scanner for codes or module coding,? I am looking into get an 09 XF supercharged. I am mechanically inclined and love the body style of the early models.

Hey Nate, I don't have a scanner because I wouldn't know what I'm doing with it and would probably break something if I messed with it. I have an OBDII bluetooth goodie which just gives basic info like rpm, fuel mix ratios etc - but I it can't do any programming.

Ok, thank you! I appreciate you getting back to me.

Congratulations on your purchase. You will love the car. Personally I prefer the 5.0l V8 but the 4.2 is a proven engine and tough as nails. Just don't skip and oil change, it turns oil to sludge due to high operating temps. Usual failures include the water pump, coolant hose leaks (best to replace all of them the moment you get a leak) and leaky lower control arm bushings. But man, that exhaust note is so worth it. 👍

Hilton that’s awesome! My mom has the V8 5.0 and I just got the 4.2 V8 and her car has been giving her 0 Trouble! The whole family drives Jaguars (4) so we love the brand. So far driving my jag handling is insanely great. Acceleration and of course looks. Because my first car is a jag it’s quite big. Feels like a SUV but I’m only 16 lol. So far feels awesome I feel so much grip on the road with the car.

Hilton We bought the car and it had 0 leaks. So far no leaks at all! Sometimes burning oil smell or gas smell out the exhaust. We haven’t changed the oil yet so that’s next.

@@haxbtc758 The XF handles like a pro and is quite agile just like the cat it's name after. Here's wishing you many more fun miles in that car. You will always think of this as your favourite car for the rest of your life. That's how endearing they are.

@@haxbtc758 Hmm, that burning oil smell sounds like oil leaking from one of the valve covers or both onto the exhaust manifold behind the engine. When it's cool, run your hand round the valve cover seals and check. Probably just needs new valve cover gaskets. 😉

NOIR. E.L im looking at one now! A 2013, how's the up keep? Is it your daily driver?

Just changed my profile pic on youtube so you can see it 😎

@Gray100 congrats on your purchase mate. You will love that car.

@@carfanfan Thank you 👍

Couldn’t find the vent related link though

Good luck. Once you drive it you will be hooked. You will love it 😉

Hey have you found one? I’m currently selling a 2012 Jaguar XF supercharged with 30,000 miles. I’m only the second owner. Mint condition no damage clean tittle.

@@preshj0hnson I liked the one that I viewed.However,I have yet to put my money where my mouth is! 2012 seems a bit longer in the tooth than that I was aiming-at…but I am keeping my options and sight open! I am resident in Kingston,Ontario,Canada; your reference to Miles,rather than Kilometres suggests that you are not “local”. But thanks anyway!

@@kollygodders5019 Hey I also have a car delivery service lol so if you would need the car delivered I do do that for you as well

@@preshj0hnson Hi Kirk! Your reply is on my YT Comment section this am….but I must have wiped rhe original posting,so cannot put it in context…sorry! Could you please refresh me? Sounds intriguing! Btw I live in Ontario,Canada.

Thanks for watching. When I bought it, the mileage was 80,000km's. Over the 4 years I owned it, I did 10,000km's per year, so the odo was at 120,000km's - about 70,000 miles. Thanks for the sub ;)

LoL, thanks 🤭

Yeah I'm done with them. They're snobbish for some strange reason. I don't need that and love the superior service I get from Jaguar.

Thanks for the comment. I agree. I've been fortunate to buy all mine with low mileage and this particular 2009 model had 60k miles when I sold it. My XFR only has 30k miles on the clock and has been very good to me so far. I use it for short trips to the shops and longer trips for breakfast runs and it just goes without a hitch. Jaguars are the best kept saloon secret.

Water pumps are also an issue as I've found on the forums. My XF has great lights and with LED's in them, they're even better. Coolant hoses leaking was also an issue I've recently had, but after forcing the dealer to do a pressure test and find ALL leaks and replace ALL hoses, no more leaks :)

I've heard of water pumps too, wasn't sure if it was common or not though. I've got gas lamps in my car (factory fit), the lights themselves are not the problem, the shape of the bonnet is the problem. In terms of pipes, my boost pipe was leaking and had to be replaced but not had a problem with any hoses.

The problem with buying an older XF is to ensure the previous owner looked after it. If they didn't, then it won't look after you. My guess is they got rid of it just as the DPF was needing replacement.

LoL no Will, I'm just an ordinary working guy. I was nervous when I bought this particular XF back in 2013 as the car was five years old and I didn't know Jaguars very well at all. I've since learned that the X250 shape like these are the most solid ones because they were built during the Ford era. Tata now owns Jaguar and the new Jags are built with really poor materials. However, it seems they are now trying to redress that. You will love that car!

@@carfanfan According to Mr Google, Tata bought Jaguar way back in 2008 meaning unless a few cars were built between its unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor show in 2007 and when Jaguar were sold to Tatal, all the XF's were produced under the ownership of Tata, not Ford, as the XF was released at the motor show, but not sold in the UK until 2008 when Ford sold the company. Ford did own Jaguar in 1999 and Land Rover from the following year, selling both companies to Tata in 2008. The XF (X250) was apparently built on the Ford DEW platform (albeit heavily modified), a platform also used by the outgoing S-type, the Lincoln LS and the Ford Thunderbird (I'm led to believe).

@@Nite-owl They were produced by Tata, but designed by Ford. Ford started design and engineering of the XF in 2004 already. Tata just bought Jaguar when it was about to launch one of its most mainstream and successful vehicles.

I have a 2011 XFR now and it's an awesome car. They are so reliable even in V8 guise. The power of the supercharged V8 is stellar and like you say, servicing costs are just as much for other brands. I'd rather drive a car that has an emotional connection than one than doesn't 😉

I totally hear you and you've probably hit the nail on the head. Watered down is definitely the term to use for the new XF - instead of being a level up from its predecessor. Materials-wise, the first generation and facelift XF's are better than the new one. The new one will sell mostly due to improved engines and sound system interface :-)

Hey Tena, congrats on your purchase! Each time I drive another car and get back into my XF, I realize what I was missing - my XF! It's such a special car to drive and is one of the best kept secrets out there in the car world.

You're right. The engines aren't that good and quality is just plain bad. I kept my X260 for a little under a year before dumping it and going back to an X250 XFR. At least that felt like a Jag.

A Jag will cost you way less in the long run my friend 😉

Mate, you will not regret it...my only regret is not buying one earlier...….I didn't like the S type of the X type..but this is completely something else...….Never have I enjoyed driving so much...…...and my last Jag as an XKR 4.2 supercharged, but even that didn't compare to the refinement on these cars. Hope you find a good one and enjoy it.

That actually wasn't the Jaguar dealer doing that, it was the place they sent it for wheel alignment as I wasn't happy with the steering wheel being slightly off center. They car went to them four times and each time I got it back with dirty footwells and grubby paw marks on the C-pillar. The dealer tried their best and even offered to valet my car which I declined.

Glad to hear Matsobang. Just a word of advice, I am on my 3rd Jaguar XF now and I've noticed over the past 10 years that these cars don't like to stand too long. You must drive it at least twice a week to get that battery charged. Due to all the electronics on the car, the battery will drain if not driven regularly. The V8's are pretty good, but on the 4.2 be sure to check that the timing chain tensioners have been replaced at some point because they are plastic and when they fail, it's catastrophic. They must be replaced every 10 years or 160,000km's whichever comes first and if not, it's a ticking time-bomb as to when they will fail. If they fail, they damage to the engine and you need to replace the engine. The cost of the repair doesn't warrant the value of the vehicle and they usually end up on the scrap heap. The 3L V6 models are solid as are the 5L V8's. If you choose a 2.2 Diesel or a 2L petrol, they are pretty reliable as well. The 3L diesel does tend to suffer from dirty diesel particulate filters - these need to be cleaned out every couple of years otherwise you get a check engine light and restricted performance. Basically, it comes down to maintenance. If you maintain it when it's services are due (and this includes scheduled services for big items such as spark plugs, super charger pulley belts, gearbox services - most of which happen every 8 years or so) then you have a solid car. Like all cars, if you don't look after it, it will break sooner or later ;)

Hey selling a Jaguar XF 2012 supercharged 30,000 miles

Wow, thanks Ali for that info. I've read quite a lot of this windshield washer failure, but thankfully I haven't had to deal with that yet :-)

wiring harness always fails on boots of cars as the wires wear out, had it on my x-type and my friend had the same on his bmw, same common fault, wish car manufacturers would sort it out

hey Le Bron, I haven't personally had bluetooth issues with my old XF, but I did with my newer X260. They had to reload the software on it. However, you can't do that with the old XF. Based on what I've read on the forums about the bluetooth issues is that the module becomes faulty. It sits under the right hand side front seat carpet and is usually the culprit. If I were you, have the car scanned to see if the bluetooth module is indeed faulty, if it is, get a salvage one from a scrapped car. Buying new will break your bank! Have to tried resetting it? Erase all previously connected devices and then try again. When trying again, make sure you phone is in the bluetooth setting and also scanning for a new device while the car does the same. Either one will pop up with the code. My phone is an Android Ulefone and if I'm not inside the bluetooth settings, it isn't discoverable. It could just be that.

@@carfanfan Thanks for taking the time and responding my man. The first thing i thought of doing next was to do a Software update but that idea seems to be out the window as you say.. I will definitely check the module than. How do i reset everthing? Because it seems like there are no other connections but the system fails to look for my phone anyway. Again, thanks for the help, i hope it works again soon.

Hey Benny - those little stepper motors Jaguar used on the vents are actually used in the HVAC as well. My guess is the HVAC stepper motors are failing or the plastic gears are worn and the flaps aren't opening and closing properly which allows hot air through to mix with the cold air. The cold air going to the rear goes through a different vent hole in the HVAC which explains why the rear is colder. I've read that the electronic heater can also cause issues with the vents not opening. If you remove the glove box, you will see a little wire connected to the side of the HVAC, if you disconnect that wire, it apparently fixes the problem. I not so sure about that though because I've never needed to do it. However, I would suggest a reset of the HVAC system. In order to do this, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for 10 mins and reconnect it again. That should reset everything in the HVAC and see if that solves the issue.

Thanks Jeff - I'm sure every brand has its parts that fail and when one buys used, one just needs to Google for info on the car you're interested in to see what are the usual suspects on various models. Before buying my XF, I did some homework on what recalls if any were done on it and there weren't any for my 3L petrol. However, they listed some parts that could fail and the water pump was one of them - and lo and behold, mine failed in the first year - luckily it was covered by the maintenance plan at the time :)

Jeff how much for one that has 200k miles

Stan Gurka I hear you, but if you owned two Audi's that broke down every single month you realize the XF is far more reliable. The last thing that went wrong with my Jag was over a year and a half ago and since then this car goes and goes without a hitch. This is why I love it even more.

Really happy to hear you got an XF as well. The 3L s/c is the best model of them all and probably the best kept secret. It also sounds amazing ;-)

Welcome to the club David ;)

Hey there. Gas mileage on the XK's are actually better than you'd expect at around 25 mpg. Cost-wise? At that mileage check the brakes were recently done, they're very expensive to do. Also check the water pump has been replaced recently, they go at around 60,000 or 8 years. Check for coolant leaks (a low reservoir bottle indicates a leak) - coolant hoses tend to leak at that age and mileage. Never buy one that doesn't have full service history, chances are the previous owner sucked all the goodness out of the car and is dumping it to avoid servicing costs or a hefty repair bill. I'd recommend the 5.0l V8 over the 4.2 as parts are more readily available and gas mileage is even better as well as more power. Good luck with your purchase ;-)

Thanks so much for response. So I am looking at 4.2 XKR (08-09), 5.0 XK (10), 3.0 XF Supercharged (12), and XF 5.0 (12) possibly even supercharged. What would be your recommendation? 09 XKR is the sportiest and the fastest one, so I was leaning towards it. A good 5.0 XKR is a bit too expensive. Also what about the gearbox? How long does it usually last?

@@ultimate__pictures Personally I'd go for the (12) 3.0 supercharged. Light on fuel, cheaper to maintain and repair and it had 250kw which is more than enough to leave most pretenders behind 😁. The 3.0 will have an 8 speed tranny and so will the 5.0 (12), but the older ones will have a 6 speed tranny. The gearboxes are both from ZF and used in BMW and Audi models as well. They are pretty solid. They require a service every seven to eight years which requires a new plastic oil pan (not cheap as it has a built in filter and has 21 screws holding it in place) and new ZF oil, also not cheap. Most owners don't even know about the tranny service and don't do it - that will cause it to fail or start shifting harder and harder or even slipping. Mine had it's change at 8 years even though it still shifted fine. They good cars. I love the R models because they look better and are indeed sportier, but when things go wrong, they wrong on an expensive scale. If you can't afford a good XKR then you can't afford a bad one either - it will Rob your bank account. Rather buy a later model that's easier and cheaper to maintain where parts are easily accessible as there are more on the roads. The 3l supercharged was very popular and there are quite a few of them out there. I'm even considering one myself, but a 2015 model (last of the X250 body styles).

Hilton thanks, that’s a great insight! In case I really want a coupe, is XK 5.0 the most reasonable choice among the XKs? Would it be possible to run one within $3-4k per year maintenance budget?

@@ultimate__pictures Oh yes, a 5.0 will be a good choice if you want a V8. That engine is still used in Range Rovers and the F-type. $3k maintenance budget would be more than adequate. If it doesn't need brakes or spark plugs or tires, services will set you back around $400-600 per year which is reasonable for a luxury sports car. Let me know once you buy your Jag. Buying any Jag is a wonderful experience 😉

Holy hell! What was wrong with it?

@@carfanfan Apparently, water from windscreen washer pump been leaking to fuse box. So a brand new fuse box ordered from jaguar and fitted. The problem was warning signs on the dashboard, saying gearbox fault, can't apply park break assist, and many more, wouldnt start and constant beeping.

Hey Joel, what's your window doing?

Hey Andrew, I made a video on how to install it with a link to where you can buy it in the description - here's the video link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbCPkppmvdKsaIk.html ps. I think the 2012 is a beautiful shape too - the 1.5 ;-) The video will show you how to install your own. Good luck and let us know if you fitted yours.

I ordered and will look to fit next weekend. I'll let you know. If its good I'll get one for my XK as well! :-)

Andrew Jones Great stuff. You will like it. I don't know how I lived without it.

Keep in mind that including the 4 years, this car was 10 years old and those are the only things that went wrong with it.

And you have a Honda CR-V 😂😂😂😂

Hey Mohammed. It could be one of many things. Best thing is get an OBDII scanner on it and run the codes. It could even be something simple like old spark plugs. But a scan is definitely needed.

I would definitely get the XF. Mine is a Premium Luxury - has SatNav, backup camera & parking sensors. But you will be happy with the premium - if buying out of town sight unseen, ask for pictures of the service book - if it doesn't have service history or broken service history, don't buy it - the previous owner would not have looked after it. I'm releasing a video later tonight on what to look out for when buying an XF - but it could pretty much apply to any other car too :)

yeah, unfortunately that little plastic gear fails very easily if pulled manually. My guess is most vents fail because somebody at some point manually moved them.

@@carfanfan I have a question for you since you own jaguar XF have you experienced on the dash leather lifting up probably because from The heat in the summer?

@@mukbanglyndap1386 I haven't experienced this in any of my Jags, mostly because i park underground when we go out or if my car stands in the sun, I use a sunshield. It's imperative to use a sunshield when you own a car with a leather dash because the sun dries the glue and it lifts. You could try to inject some leather glue using a syringe and needle into the area that has lifted and the m use a small roller to make it stick down again. Put something heavy on the area until the glue dries and that should sort it.

Functioning Narcotic You will love an XF once you have it. Just make sure it was looked after and it will look after you ;-)

I bought mine 2 years ago, it's a 2011 3.0 V6 diesel and absolutely love it ! I'm around 75.000 km and the only problems I ever had was with the 19" tires (summer tires I have 17" for winter) which are very shy of potholes since I busted 3 on those nasty belgian highways... Apart from that only a blissfull experience, you try it you'll buy it.

I'm afraid it can't be done, but an Android add-on can be added

Hey Afif, sounds to me like the stepper motor clutch has failed. It's a small round plastic piece that attaches to the motor and grabs the vent to open and close. Check out this video to see what I mean - you can fix it yourself if and replace the faulty part - the genuine ones are part number C2Z31321 and they are relatively cheap. You can also buy them direct from other suppliers www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/498433/5497/facia_ventilation_stepper_motor_clutch___jaguar_xf_2009_2015 Here's the link to the video that explains how this breaks: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM-JjZiHt7CqkaM.html

Shane Halona woah, that's many miles. I do about 5000 miles a year. But mostly town driving which is harder on the car than freeway driving.

Same!

Raider Actual Common issues are coolant leaks on hoses. Check it out thoroughly because the performance versions have usually had the crap driven out of them. I'd recommend calling the dealer who serviced it and check what items if any were repaired on this car. Also check warranty claim history with Jaguar. If all checks out, you're buying the best version of XF you can get. I often wish I'd bought a 5.0 V8 supercharged.

Hilton thanks man, I appreciate it.

Geoff Gelder Hey Geoff, mine is petrol, but the 2.2 diesel and 3.0L diesel are excellent buys. When buying make sure it has full service history from a franchised dealer otherwise you're going to buy an unloved problematic. Look out for front wishbone leaks at the bushings, water pump leaks ( check the coolant level this will tell you if any coolant leaks), check that the vents all work properly, when test driving check the tranny changes smoothly both up and down. If the tranny is rough, it needs an oil change and the sump gets replaced when thats done and its not cheap. Check the front wheel bearings, uneven tire wear will tell you if they're worn. You can also feel it when driving if the car tends to wonder off track. Other than that, they very good reliable cars as long as they have been serviced when Jaguar stipulates. Diesels have cambelts so check if that was done when it was supposed to. Good luck, you have a lot of fun to look forward to. Buying my XF was the best thing I ever did and the best car I've ever owned. ;-)

I have the 3.0 S and I get between 37-42mpg

In $ I would say not more than $6000. What year model is it?

Yes I did. When the dealer changed the water pump, they had to remove some coolant pipes in front of the engine and the coolant bottle. So a few months later, the large expensive coolant hose which splits into five directions started leaking and then the coolant reservoir started to leak because it was cracked possibly from being dropped. After fixing those issues it never needed any other maintenance under the hood other than annual services.

Claydon Mac Donald Mine is a 2009 and has 60,000 miles on it. Most of the XF's I see in AutoTrade have over 150,000 moles on them for 2010 models, so these cars are pretty solid. Just make sure it has full service history and check its warranty claim history. The 2010 had a small facelift to the mirrors and screen color and a HD backup camera.

Kelly Sigala Not true. I have taken mine to top speed and the limiter kicked in at 150mph. I got close to 155mph but no more. I'm sure the supercharged version will reach 190mph tho

I have a 2015 XF 3.0 AWD Sport w/ supercharged V6. It is electronically limited to 196km/h (121MPH) I bounce it off the limiter just about every time I pull out to pass on the highway.

Just from the Net. Jaguars are limited to 155 mph. The MY11 3.0 S Diesel has a theoretical top speed of 181 mph.

I can assure you Adam they were new. I always insist on the old parts back when I pay for repairs.

76ers Mine uses about 13L per 100km (not sure what that is in miles per gallon) I don't think its bad because a tank lasts me a month. I do a lot of town driving. On the highway, it goes down to 10 liters per km which is very good for a car this big and heavy. What engine did the car you tested have?

13L per 100km = 3.4gal per 62miles. So that's about 18 mpg. I was testing Jaguar XF Portfolio with the V8 Engine. It was getting only 15mpg (15L/100km). I'm used to driving a 30mpg (7L/100km) vehicle so this was a huge difference. I thought the gas tank had a hole or something.

LoL - you should take a look at the diesels, they are very frugal and can go almost 1000km's on a tank ;-)

It depends a lot how you drive, I get about 22 to 24 mpg out of my 3.0 V6 . I had a 2.7 v6 diesel "S" type before, and upgraded to the 2009 XF 3 months ago, love it.

The 2.2d is very frugal. It's a good buy. Low maintenance costs. Just make sure you test drive it, and it's performing well. Also, full maintenance records. If they are not maintained properly, the oil turns to sludge, and that means a new motor. Also, the DPF can cause the car to go into limp mode. Restricted performance. It won't have much power in this mode. The DPF cleans itself out when you dontrips longer than 100km, so if you do a lot of town driving, be sure to stretch uts kegs once a week.

200 is way to high bro

You can, but unless you have a V8 s/c I don't see why. To be honest, 20" wheels make the ride hard and get damaged more easily by potholes. 18" wheels look good and give you a nice compliant ride 😉

You sure can - on the touch screen, select "climate", then "settings" in the top right hand corner, and select vent rotation to "always open"

Thanks Hilton. :D

Scotty Kilmer??? LoL

Mine had around 60,000 miles on when doing this video. When I sold it, it had around 75,000 miles on it. During total ownership, I did approximately 25,000 miles over the five years I had it. Awesome car. Wish I hadn't sold it.

Hilton thank you for the reply. Mine now has 95000 miles and it’s having its second PLASTIC rocker cover fitted.

@@philipjones4466 strange, to me never leaked oil or had rocker panel issues. I did have constant coolant leaks tho

Hilton there’s a jaguar independent dealer not far from me and he has some 3.0 xfs doing over 240000 miles and still going strong. Our main jaguar dealer stratsons are worse than useless there name is poor

Actually, if I look at the 2016 VW Golf 1.4 Tsi we owned, it depreciated at a far rapid rate than my Jaguar. Those are misconceptions with modern Jags - VW's are just as costly to maintain as any other "luxury" car out there. Considering my annual maintenance bill for my Jag was $1500 and depreciation $1350, that levelled against the VW Golf's depreciation alone of $2700 per year (it had a maintenance plan so costs there), but one can see, the Jag cost only slightly more in total even without its maintenance plan. It's so reliable that I only have annual services that need to be done, nothing has broken on the car in the past two and a half years. So reliability definitely is good on modern Jaguars.

This was a 3L V6
