I have creaking sounds but it is not a rattle or squeak - it seems to be coming from the suspension. It ONLY occurs when driving at slow speeds (less than 25( over inclines or uneven surfaces. I have not brought it into the dealer yet.
Interested in everyone's experience with this issue. Otherwise, car has been great.

See post #241 - that is the deal i got a couple of weeks ago in CA (I do not live in CA but they delivered the car to me). It was easy + professional. Hope this helps.

i would say creaking sounds at low speed and uneven surfaces is about the same. My car is now in the dealer to try to figure out what is going on. They want to replace door seals ,however I feel it is an issue that will not be resolved by this. This is clearly not a normal situation. I will post again when I get the car back from the dealer. This car is stunning and performance is awesome, but this noise whatever you want to call it is absolutely not normal for a brand new vehicle. Again if anyone else is having this issue it would be greatly appreciated to know if this is just a few cars or a serious issue with the XF

I'm getting to following quote on an XF Luxury with the cold weather package. I didn't get the exact selling price since the quote wasn't attractive at all to me. I believe the money factor is 0.00180 and I think the residual being applied was 44% (which is aweful, I think there was no residual deal). I think you can take the selling price to be around $46,000.
$0 cap cost reduction
$695 bank fee
$412 registration etc.
Sales tax up front $1957 (NJ)
$699 per month for 39 months.
If you bundle the sales tax in, the quote is $753.
That's at least $100 more than what I would want on a 39 month.

Yeh, it may be a little more than you wanted to spend but they threw in the snap crackle and pop (see above posts) for free. Why are you complaining?

You need to know the MSRP for the vehicle and the cap cost the dealer is using. That will tell you how much of a real discount off of MSRP he is giving you. The $695 + .0018 (approx) MF seems to be from US Bank which I think is the best available right now. 44% is not great but about what is being offered these days for a 39 month XF. ALL cars are suffering from low residuals. For you, you need to see what the MSRP + real cap cost are. Then you will see if there is room to negotiate.
Good Luck

That actually sounds like a really good deal.
I stopped by a dealer yesterday and they quoted the following:
XF Luxury with Advanced Vision and Cold Climate
$5000 cap cost reduction (hilarious - I would never do that)
$495 acq fee
Sales tax up front
$850 per month for 39 months.

A dealer in Bakersfield, CA tells me this:
"New lease programs come out the first week of Sept., I am hoping they give us some good lease programs and incentives."
I hope they (1) have a great lease program and (2) fix all the gremlins after reading these posts!

When i plug my iphone into the iphone cable in the car I get a message that it is not a approved device. It wants to go to airplane mode. I push the no button and everything works. However it doesn't charge the iphone? Is there a way to plug in and have the ipod the phone and for it to charge all at the same time?

Any news on lease rates for September as yet ?
I'm looking to lease a new car (not decided on make as yet) and the XF is one of those that my wife likes the look of.
Any news would be appreciated.
