Help with buying a Jaaaaaaaaag XFR

Yeah exactly. Overlook the foibles based on it being VFM V8 land. That's my exact point.

Similar to "7 years isn't early" comment Fox! :p

The market, presumably, which is why it's worth so much less than a 2010 E63.

Although it's generally true that Mercs seem to hold their value better, that doesn't seem a particularly good comparison to me. It's £10k more for a car which had a list price starting at almost £10k more than the XFR, and has almost 30k fewer miles on it. Mileage seems to be the biggest factor in Jag values too, you're looking at £23k+ for an equivalent car to that E63.
 
I've been thinking about a facelift XFR for a while now, to replace my XF-S, but the prices are still really high if you want a car with Jaguar approved warranty, and there doesn't seem to be awful lot of choice out there.

It's true the Jaguar infotainment system is slow, but the sound quality from my ones B&W stereo is excellent, which is something of a consolation..

The newest facelift has only just come out so these should start falling. The first generation XF have a good amount more to go too as they do not have the looks of the facelift and the latest facelift.

I briefly considered the XF Shooting Brake, before deciding on a 5 Series Touring.

Lots of Jag owners (even with facelift models) saying how useless the Sat-nav is - Taking them off motorways and then putting them straight back on etc.

The latest 'facelift' is actually a brand new car on the new aluminium platform with the new Ingenium engines. Basically XEs bigger brother.
 
I wish people would put towels under cars seats just to soften off the plastic sharp radius's on the leather.

Love those wheels. Reverse cam and the jet suedecloth headliner are nice.
 
Hmm the shiny bits on leather can be restored with Gliptone easily so no big deal there :cool:
 
i approve of his choice of car. no hybrid nonsense, no 2cyl nonsense, no dag dag remap with a body kit init nonsense, just a good old fashion v8 with a s/c on top.
 
have a look on jaginfo.org if you need to do any research on what to look out for as found them quite helpful when I was doing research on mine
 
My problem with the XFR is that they start around £18k which piques your interest, you then realize that the pre-facelift is ugly compared to the facelift so you look at those instead, but they're much much more expensive, so you look at what else £30k gets you in the Jag range and you find stuff like the X351 XJ Supersport, which is much more car for your money than an XFR. You think this is a brilliant idea and can't fathom why more people don't buy these, then you realize that in 5 years time it will be worth about 50p, so you don't buy it.
 
Hmm Jaginfo looks good, I have passed that info on ta!He only likes the XFR, XJ is not his style really.

Bit of an update on the 2 posted here though, the first one, the guy accepted his initial offer of 17k, but then bailed out saying it's worth more than that and kept going on about how immaculate it is and that he won't find better for the money and if he does, then there will be something wrong with it (!).

The 2nd one sold already, so that's a no go.
 
He's now put down a deposit on one, pick up Sunday if all goes to plan (I'm gonna drive him). Have previously also given the jaginfo forum details, so he should have done some extra homework by now.

Edit*
Offer accepted at 17,250. Includes new pads, discs, tyres, 12months MOT, and a main service.

Cheers all!
