Love to get your guys thoughts on this car that i am looking to purchase, listed @ $26k with 35,000 miles. In immaculate condition, all service records up to date, one owner vehicle. Any insight would be appreciated.

 

Do a test drive. If it's sold online, test drive a similar model with a 2.0 engine from the dealer either a 25T or a 30T engine. Be mindful it has a Turbo so there will be a milisecond lag when you floor the gas pedal.
Mine is a 25T and I love it. The one you are looking at is a 30T same engine as mine but the 30T has 49HP more than 25T. Great MPG mileage. If you happen to get the car, don't follow JLR's OCR of 16K miles. Do it for 5K miles OCR and you'll enjoy your Jag

 

It’s at a local dealership and reviewing the carfax report it looks like they already did the OCR when they got it as a trade in.

 

If you do your OCI, Castrol has JLR approved 0W-20, 5 quart motor oil sold at Walmart for less than $30.00

Good find on that oil! It does state on the label it meets the JLR spec.

So i drove this car today and really like it the one question i have for the group does the 2020 xf have the upgraded coolant pipes vs the plastic that was always prone to leak?

 

Maybe you are referring to AJ126 (3.0 /SC 6-cylinder) and AJ133 ( 5.0 / SC 8-cylinder) that has plastic coolant pipe leak issues. (It's widely discussed on XJ, F-Type and X250 forums) The 2.0 / 4 cylinder Ingenium does not have coolant pipe problems (to my knowledge). It has timing chain issues on some of it's earlier models with Diesel engines which had been corrected from 2019 and beyond. But the Ingenium gas engines seemed bullet proof as long as you do every 5K miles OCI. Do a research online on both Jaguar and Land Rover with Ingenium gas engines.

 

Appreciate you insight and also giving me a better understanding of what not to worry about.
