I'm really interested in purchasing a jag xf. My friend purchased one and had a ton of problems with the shift knob getting stuck and leaving him stranded to rattling and creaking noises to electronics malfunctioning and in reading reviews I've seen horror stories online but also realize that most people leave bad reviews online and you don't hear the majority of good ones. But I absolutely love this car and I figured this is the best place to get an honest opinion regarding the reliability and maintenance from people who still own the vehicle. Are the problems mentioned the norm or just a rare occurrence? Anything I should be looking out for on carfax or questions you think I should ask? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

 

You're right, we have no axes to grind, nor is there money to be made in here. Just regular people with regular lives trying to get by.

For that reason, you ask a question, you'll get honest answers and good advice.

Welcome.

No different to any pre owned car really.

Some have issues, most dont.

The cars were not built with these issues, and mostly they are owner related, due to slack maintaining. The badge on the front seems to give an owner attitude that due to its name it should be perfect forever, I wish.
