Replying to: rjlaero (Apr 28, 2008 5:57 am) I know a wholesaler who specifically looks for those particular 7 Series because BMW extended the warranty on many of them to 8 years 100,000 miles. He can buy one cheap wholesale that has good brakes and tires then keep it for six months with no out of pocket expenses. At the end of six months or so he flips out of it and it only costs him a grand or two in depreciation maybe less if he gets lucky. |

The supercharged XF sold itself when I saw if for the first time. Unfortunately, it might sell itself again if Jaguar doesn’t address the steering vibration. For a still undetermined reason my XF shakes. It is most noticeable (and visible) in the steering wheel, but can also be felt in my seat as well. My dealer has tried everything they know how to do and it still shakes. Jaguar engineers say it’s a high performance car and vibration is to be expected. I say if they’re betting Jaguar’s future on this car, they might want rethink their position. Regrettably, despite its promising appearance it’s not a car I’d recommend until they get the first year bugs worked out.

Replying to: paulgreen (Apr 28, 2008 7:07 am) AFIK the XF uses the steering gear out of the XK and I haven't heard any problems with them. If they are having such a hard time fixing it then it is probably an isolated incident. Have they tried swapping the 20 inch wheels on your XF for a set of 19 inch wheels to see if that reduces the shimmy? If they haven't tried that, and assuming the smaller diameter wheels will fit around the brakes, tell them to try that and see what happens. |

Hey guys! I've been reading some of the entries on this forum before purchasing my first Jag, and I have to thank everyone and this site for their thoughts and reviews. I spent a few weeks test driving the BMW 5 and 7 series, the Lexus GS and LS, Audi 6 and 8 and the S 550 MB. I have to say that the MB is a beautiful car but was not ready to spend 6 figures on this car. The jag was exactly what my family was looking for in a sedan. The car feel and looks alot better than the competitors. When I drove the rest of the cars, I felt that something was missing. I bought this car yesterday, so I will post future entries on this forum to keep you guys posted. I
