Default 2013 - How to tell if Portfolio?

Should come as no surprise that I've been in the market for an XF. After having only looked at 2011 and 2012s for the V-8, I happened upon a 2013 SC V-6 and while it doesn't say it is Portfolio trim, it appears to have the suede headliner and perforated sport seats.

Is there anything else I can look towards to determine if it is in fact a Portfolio? Does the VIN reveal this?

Many thanks!

Provide the VIN number to Jaguar and they will tell you the exact build. I believe this is done by checking with TOPIX Home | TOPIx

Plugged the VIN into TOPIX and this is what it spit out. No mention of the Portfolio, but with the suede headliner and sport seats w/perforated leather it sure looks like a Port to me




EDIT - found some more features listed, but still nothing to confirm Portfolio or otherwise

Maybe another dealer can help or someone else on the forum more knowledgeable than me

Certainly is a very nice spec though

Hey MoabUtah,

A litle off topic..But I noticed your handle here and it reminded me of all the fun I use to have at Moab offroading the rock world there in my HUMMER and Land Rover over the years...did you ever play there?

Yes ... took a rented Jeep [something or other] out into the wild side of Canyonlands ... great times. Some scary bits as well

Been back so many times .... I love the place so much I thought it would make a nice 'handle'

Do you mind me asking how much they are asking for the car and how many miles? Frank

Easily done. haven't been there for a number of years now .... think 2008 was the last but sure is a great draw.

The condo's that we used to rent are damn expensive these days. Planning another vacation for 2016 but that's MI, Canada and New England. Perhaps we can return in 2017-18 if health is still good .... but getting old now and feeling it

Apols to MonacoDK for highjacking his thread

We head down to Cedar Mesa (a little Southwest of Moab) a few times a year to hike old ruins from the Pueblo and Anasazi or go through slot canyons. It's an awesome area and great place to camp.
Anybody heading to S Utah should check out this site: Climb Utah - Canyoneering & Mountaineering
Lots of cool places to offroad or hike.

Oh, and I like the car too.

And I do apologize for hi-jacking again

It's a tribute to the biology of Utahns.

There are fantastic rock formations in Utah. We love Canyonlands and have ventured everywhere there are roads and with a single day off-road.

Did go to The Valley of the Gods once in 2003 and traveled in a Chrysler 300M ... went as far as I could before we almost got stuck in the fine red sand! It was a relief to turn the car around and retreat!! Not really built for that terrain

SLC is the finest little city we've ever been to. As for the Tabernacle choir ... a delight to listen to whatever your beliefs

We will return.
