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?

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.

The new Jaguar XFR will start at 80K. Not sure what the options will be but with a few options added to the price. It could top over 85K which is 20K more than the current XF SC so the price will not be the same as the 420HP version. Google it if you do not believe me

XF SC fuel tank cap

A relative of mine recently bought an XF SC and remarked to me that he was getting less than 15 mpg in town. Then he noticed some instructions (maybe on the gas tank flap, I didn't get this detail) that the fuel cap is supposed to be tightened at least three clicks, and he had only been tightening one click. He changed to three clicks and immediately got 21 mpg on his trip to work.
What is the explanation for requiring three clicks, and could this make this much difference in mpg without the message center alerting the operator? On my Volvo a failure to properly seat the gas cap gives a warning and maybe a message.

I just closed a deal for Jag XF Luxury with Cold Climate package, Navigation System and Sirius Sat for $46,486...that included a $1500 Manufecturer 'coupon' , so, in essence, $47,986 was the dealer's offer (MSRP being 52,150).
I guess, what I'm saying is that you could do better than what you received.

Greetings to all.... I did go thru with the deal; I bought the XF supercharged, I recommend to every one interested in a Jaguar XF to go for the XF SC or SV8 while they last. Look at it this way, you are buying an 420hp XF Portfolio sans the sued headliner but with active suspension and 35 more hp and other goodies that you can only get on the R. In few months you can not get that any more unless you go for the more expensive and more ugly R type. Therefore, the choice was clear, the current supercharged has the best of both worlds, the elegant clean looks (not that of the ugly R) and the 400+ power and tech features of the R (except active differential). But do not buy the luxury or premium luxury, those are truly obsolete and old news.
The R is ugly and horrid. If you want this like of look, you are better served with the STC V, looks aggressive but not horrid and beats the heck out of any other special performance car with its massive 556hp.
As for my experience with the car: I love it, wow is all I can say. And feels much faster than the 420 hp suggests.
