There are some posts in our new Jaguar XF Lease Questions discussion that may help you. If not, that's the best place to ask.
 
Good luck!

I took the plunge... but now disappointed by tmacguy

Hi
I switched from Cadillac to Jaguar. 2 days ago i placed a down payment on XF SV8 (Super Charged, loaded except for the dynamic cruse control). I am putting the balance of the payment tomorrow and would take delivery on Sunday or Monday. I was so excited and could not wait to move into the Jag and sell off the 2003 CTS.
 
But then the bomb shell.... the SV8 has been discontinued (not will be, but, has been). The car is not even a year on the market and now it is discontinued for the R type.
 
Let me put things in perspective, I love in Saudi. And unlike in USA web site which still features the SV8 and mention the R as 2010 model, the UK and all other intentional sites and brochures have dropped all mention of the SV8 (SC in USA) and are only listing the R and are also listing the Portfolio. This sucks.... The car has been on sale here only since August, now it is dead, and I had just bought a last year car, even though it is sold as 2009 model !!!!
 
I do not know what to do.... cancel the deal and recall my down payment? The problem is the new R fascia is ugly, and I would not buy the Portfolio because it has less power than the SV8.
 
Really do not know what to do now. The only other car I like if I canceled the Jaguar deal is the CTS v. But I really love and can not wait to take home the XF, it feels more sophisticated than the CTSv.
 
For comparison sake, the cost paid here is $65,978, this total cost including licensee, registration, no fault insurance, and sales tax (which is 0%). Hw dose that compare to total delivered cost in USA? Warranty is 5 years 155,000 miles.

For 2010... by joeshan

Greetings, all. I'm in a G35X now, and I'm thinking of moving up to the LPS segment next time around (in a year or two). I'm currently researching/obsessing over the A6 3.0 quattro (Prestige) and the XF (nod to laurasdada) Premium Luxury. Equipped the way I want, they are priced within three grand (MSRP) of each other.
Now, according to the Jag website, in 2010, there will be a new 5.0 V8 with 385 hp. that will get 25 mpg combined in the Portfolio model.
That's similar to the A6's mileage, but with 85 more hp.
Decisions, decisions.
Now, if Jag would offer AWD...
If these two become too expensive, I might check out the A4 2.0q, a la markcincinnati.
Don't get me wrong; my Infiniti is fine-it will be my daughter's first car in two years.
But the mileage (not great), and the boy-racer ride of the new ones has kinda got me thinking about getting a more genteel ride next time. I might even lease, also.
Oh well.

Supercharged XF mileage experience and Winter Driving by anon3
Feb 15, 2009 (1:23 pm)

Two questions:
  
1) Does anyone have *actual* experience driving the supercharged XF in snow or ice? The 20" summer performance tires are not rated for mixed weather, but I was wondering just how much the winter driving mode may be able to offset the limitations of the summer tires in an inch or two of snow and slush (not heavy snow). I'm familiar with tire design principles, rubber compounds, glass points, etc. so I'm not looking for general discussion of use of summer tires in winter conditions.
  
2) The salesman (20 years of jaguar experience) claims his customers have cited up to 27 mpg during highway driving in the supercharged XF. Can anyone validate that claim?
  
Thanks

Purchased my xf sc in late December - live in southeast PA. I can tell you even in marginal snow, I cannot get up my driveway - which has a steep but not overly steep incline....those occasions where I have gotten it out - I would not want to drive this vehicle in any meaningful snow - my opinion.
 
Also - don't think you will get anywhere near 27mpg - I sure am not. However in full disclosure, I tend to drive pretty fast in the vehicle.

thenry0415, thanks very much for the reply. My driveway has a similar incline, so I suspect I'll be visiting tirerack.com to buy a set of winter tires for the XF SC. It's worth the price to avoid worrying about weather all winter long.

Kill the deal!!!!! When the 2010 comes out this July, you'll look like a FOOL driving around 420HP, when someone else has 510HP at the same price. This is why i did not get an XF last year, as I knew it was going to be obsolete quick. I'm been flying low in a CLS550 in a short term lease, so I'll be poised to jump. Dump the deal.

Is this a Good Offer for a Jaguar XF Luxury w/ CCP? by pnutzlaw
Feb 20, 2009 (4:59 am)

The initial offer I received for a Jaguar XF Luxury with Cold Climate Package is $47,377. The MSRP is $50,775 and the Invoice Price is $46,227. The price quoted is only $1,150, or 2.49%, over invoice price and $3,398 under MSRP. I think this is a fair price, especially for an initial offer. Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.
