Like most of you, I'm considering the XF (Premium or Luxury Premium), 535xi, E350 AWD, and Audi A6. The '09 A6 is due out in Jan. '09 and will come std with a V6 300 hp supercharged motor that may be very interesting. AWD certainly would be nice in the snowbelt where I live, but I've been living with RWD and FWD all of my life so I guess I can keep going. The Premium really has all I need with a few options added, but then going to the LP makes a few of those standard so the price difference comes out to apx. $5K. That's not chump change, but if I keep it for 5-6 years, it's more justifiable. Is the B&W audio system worth the cost over the standard? The extra power is negligable in real life, but the extra speakers may make a difference. The bottom line is, what are people paying? You'd think with the economy as it is, you could buy one at invoice or slightly above. I don't see many XF on the road around Chicago. Anyone buy the Extended Warranty? The reliability concerns me. I see they are offering 0% financing for 3 months. That's a step in the right direction!

Folks - in the Northeast here. I am interested in a new XF SC with all of the options except for adaptive cruise...can anyone tell me a good price I should get? Alternatively, I could also be interested in the premium lux loaded except for adaptive cruise...any thoughts on best price with this vehicle? Would also appreciate anyones thoughts on either of these vehicles, especially the SC....thanks for any and all help

Replying to: ksa (Nov 30, 2008 8:25 am) His comment was ''if I was serious'' (Duh - why am I in the dealership on a snowy and windy night!), then maybe they may knock $1K off the MSRP. Wow, in today's econonmy (and with an empty dealership on a late opening night), I ws dumbfounded when he said there were no deals. In my business, we're having to cut deals left right and center (and I'm not involved in the auto industry !). This was really surprising. I don't see how they expect to survive this downturn when EVERYONE ELSE is willing to deal. Only today Aston Martin announced layoffs (one third of its workforce) in the UK. NO one and I mean NO one is immune to the effects of the financial crisis. I wonder why Jaguar think they're special !!! And how many are buying V8s in today's brave new world. Thanks, I'll look elsewhere for my next vehicle

Replying to: ksa (Dec 02, 2008 11:40 am) From what I've seen in Michigan (home to the unemployed!), vehicle sales are WAY down and there aren't many large engine sedans visible on the roads today. Even SUVs (which were so predominant) are less visible and there seem to be so many smaller cars on the roads these days. I've only seen a couple of SCs and not that many L / PL models either. BMW (and for that matter Merc) seem to be more open to deals. Good luck to Jaguar. I think their policy will backfire on them.
