Future: if given the chance would you buy this?

My dads jaguar xf. Obviously, being in the family, I would probably get a decent deal.

I just love it...as a cruiser it is probably the best out there without spending even more. 50mpg is the norm on a long journey. Very quiet for a diesel.

If I was given the chance in say 3-5 years, would you A) bite his hand off or B) buy it as a main car and have something fun for weekend or C) buy a different car altogether?

I just love the start up, here is a quick video I made tonight:

LOL i don't even know what housey is on about...was just flicking through stations.

I'll leave it on bbc radio 5 live next time, or perhaps tune into Hermit FM, which we do have in my area.

I have a suspicion that in 5 years time a 2.2l will be expensive enough to run with fuel rates going the way they are.

You have just shattered the dreams of a certain someone who wants to buy a 535i F10 petrol in a few years.

In 3-5 years I'd be too worried about the turbo exploding.

I don't think so lol?

I wouldn't in that colour, such an excellent looking car ruined (IMO) by getting it in white, just why? Jag have a great choice of colours for the XF

To be fair, I think white looks great on the XF. Though in my village there is lovely new XFR that looks/sounds out of this world. Paint is like red wine colour. Looks awesome - facelift too I think.

I always thought you weren't supposed to rev an auto in park so at least I've learnt something today

Must say though that while my dad was always happy for me to use his car when I was living at home he would probably have been a bit cheesed off if I went out randomly starting it up and changing his radio stations for no reason

It was his idea.
