Thank you!....and believe me I will post pictures as soon as I get it home from the dealer.....its Rhodium Silver with Ivory/Warm Charcoal Interior (non-standard combination, so I hope it looks as good in person as it does in my head!

Default Update/Trepidation

OK.....So I FINALLY got a firm delivery date of DECEMBER 18 (a whole month later then originally anticipated), which is fine.....BUT the problem is that the more people I talk to (non-Jaguar owners), the more I am doubting my decision to buy the XFR. Everyones primary concerns seems to be the reliability factor, and my need for the 510hP engine. I ordered the car because after test driving the BMW, Audi and MB, (I currently have a Lexus GS350) I fell in love with the XFR from first sight.......I saw one in a parking lot, had no idea what it was.....surprised to discover it was a Jaguar......went to the dealer and that was the end of my search for a new vehicle. I LOVED the look and the feel of both the SC and the XFR (like the look of the XFR significantly more)....so I guess I am looking for some reassurance that I am not making a HUGE mistake.......I am a 34y/o female, and NOT mechanically inclined at all......it will be my only car, so I would not have a back up if it was constantly in the shop; I do value reliability almost as much as the power/looks of the car...........I just want to feel excited about my purchase once again......but honest opinions are what I am really looking for. Thank you

You are probably buying one of the best cars in that price range you could find . i like it much better than the caddy or the bmw. as far as reliability dont worry it will be dependable until at least year 5 or 6 before any problems arise

Welcome to the forums skys. Do not suffer from buyers remorse! Thats what the warranty is for!

You are going to do just fine in the ride.
