Default Hello from Minneapolis

Have driven and loved a 2007 Mercedes C280 for the last 5 years. I drove a Jaguar XF awd last August and was smitten. Plan to buy a new car in April. Its between a new XF (to rare to find a nicely used car in my preferred color) or a nice low mileage 2014 or 2013 Mercedes C300 for like $30k less. I will haunt the XF forum to see what user experiences have been. Is Jaguar shedding its problems of the past? Would plan to keep it at least 10 years and maintain it at the dealer. I think Jaguars are the most beautiful cars being made today and that counts for a lot.

Welcome to the forum finalcar,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Jaguar's poor reputation from the 70's still persists and is one of the main reasons for low used values. However, regular maintenance is critical and a full service history is essential to avoid a lemon. Dealer maintenance and repairs is the most costly option and not necessarily the best. A good independent marque specialist can often be better for long term ownership.

Follow this link XF and XFR ( X250 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XF/XFR forum for help, advice and information.


You can also visit the USA Mid West Region forum by following this link USA Mid West - IL IN IA MI MN MO OH WI - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums and your search for the right specification XF.

Graham

Hello,
Kitties do that to people they like; they rub on you and wind their tale around your leg until you stop and pick them up. At that moment, you're doomed.
