Hi Everyone,

I owned a 1998 XJ8L in BRG back in the day, and the XF has caught my eye.

I'll first through the forums for information on how to get a deal on a new one or a very lightly used one. Then I'll hopefully be able to become a contributing member as an owner.

I have owned all sorts of cars in the past such as a Lotus Esprit, Impala SS, Infiniti G35 coupe, Dodge Viper GTS, C5 Corvette, Porsche 911, Ferrari 355 F1, and currently I am experimenting with a new wave of propulsion in the Chevy Volt (actually a very cool car).

Thanks!

 

Welcome to the forums! Hope you find the XF you are looking for - I"m sure plenty of XF owners over the the XF forum section would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Impressive collection of cars you've had there!

Again, welcome and stop by often!

 

Welcome to the forum,

That's quite a list, I think you need something to use some of the carbon you are saving with the volt.

 

welcome to the forum lotus! I've also been tempted by the XF, have you had a chance to test drive one yet? Its pretty spacious in the driver's seat, deceitfully so.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

Yes, I did test drive an 2009 XF recently with 50K miles. I am not in the market for a car with that many years and miles, but I wanted to see what the XF felt like after that mileage. The car was at a dealer, and I can tell you that it had a horrible odor of something nasty covered up with a detergent smell (I think we have all experienced that at some time!).

But even with the miles and the odor, I was really impressed with the way the car felt and drove (solid and powerful, yet luxurious), so I am sure that I will be very happy with a newer one that doesn't smell bad.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck with your hunt.
