| Tell us about shopping for a new XJ! | |

We are in the process of shopping for a Jag XF Supercharged or a BMW 535i. Does anyone out there have any buying experiences or tips. I am especially interested in actual sales prices for the XF SC.

I'm currently waiting for my new XF to arrive. My local dealer, Piehler Jaguar, in Webster, NY didn't have exactly in stock, what my wife and I wanted, in terms of color and options, so they're shipping one in. We're anxiously awaiting it's arrival. We should have it in a few days. We're trading off our 2000 Lincoln LS, and although the Lincoln was an enjoyable car to own, 9 winters in the "snow belt" started to take their toll, in the body of the car. Therefore, we decided on a new ride, and since the sales manager at the Jaguar dealership is an old friend, he insisted we take an XF home for a couple of days....to see if we liked it. Some people here might recognize my user name as one of the original, and old time posters on the Lincoln LS discussions here. As enthusiastic as I've been over the vehicle dynamics of the Lincoln, the XF appears to be equal to it, and at the same time, a bit more sophisticated as a car. Hopefully, my first impressions will continue to remain as strong, as we live with the car.

I just ordered a 2010 XF Premium Luxury with Portfolio pack, Bowers & Wilkins sound, rear entertainment system and winter package....I need it up here in the great white north...  Now I have to wait until late August early September to take delivery. I have added the rear spoiler, chrome side vents and mirror covers. It will be indigo blue with the interior in truffle & champagne with the Figured ebony veneer unique to the Portfolio. I am counting the days  The service from Jaguar of Ottawa is simply superb. I have been dealing with the same salesperson that leased me a 2007 LR3 HSE. Not decided on leasing vs buying I will wait until we get closer to delivery date to see what programs they have in place. morocco 2 |

I picked up my 2010 Premium Luxury yesterday. Great experience overall (with the exception of my trade-in). I wound up paying 54,850 +/- for mine, which a a little more than I wanted to pay, and a little less than they wanted...I guess it worked out ok...at this point, after driving it home, I'd probably have given up a kidney for it! It's a fabulous car.

Replying to: rayainsw (Jul 02, 2009 2:53 pm) My wife and I both had a change in our lives, as we retired from our respective jobs within the last 18-24 months. Therefore, the most apparent change is that we don't drive as much as we used to. I was hoping to actually do a little more, as in "pleasure travelling", however the sour economy has us playing a little close to the vest, until we see how things play out in the long term. Because of that, although we've had the XF for a little over 2 months, we've put just about 1000 miles on it. The driving experience is positive, as the ride is taught, but not bone jarring, cornering is quite good, and the braking is oustanding. However, I have a few quibbles with the car.... First, it seems to only happen to my wife, but the gear selector seems to get confused sometimes, and she's been unable to shift the tranny from "drive" to "park" with the engine running. The dealer looked at it thoroughly, ran a few computer scans, but couldn't find anything wrong. As a "shotgum" solution, they replaced the "shifter module assembly", as it's all electrical, and tied into the computer. It was OK for about a week, but now my wife says it's happening again. BUT, and I repeat, BUT, it's never happened to me. I don't want to be nasty about the whole situation, but I sincerely think that cars, and the XF in particular, are getting too complicated....unnecessarily. I never thought that using an ignition key, or having a transmission shifter that was actually connected by a linkage or cable to the transmission, was a BAD idea. I strongly believe in the KISS theory. Somehow, I think that there's some very subtle that my wife is or isn't doing, to keep the car's computer happy, hence her issues. But, if a car is THAT sensitive, what good is it? Other than that, my only complaints are that the seat bottoms could use a little more side bolstering, as the car WILL corner, and the seats will allow you to slide around a bit. Also, the view out the rear window is a little limited, due to the very stylish "fastback" roofline. It isn't a real issue, however, until you have to back up. |

Replying to: bbronov (Jun 14, 2009 7:06 am) How do you like it now that you yave had it almost 3 months? |

| A poster on a different thread mentioned that Jaguar has an unadvertised $3000 factory rebate currently on the XF. Has anyone else been able to pull that out of Jaguar? | |
