I just replaced my 61,000 mile 2006 X-Type with a 3,000 mile 2012 XF today. I flew from Orange county to San Francisco and drove it back 400 miles the same day. I'm tired but it was an excellent drive. I still cannot believe I managed 25MPG whereas I could only muster 22MPG out of the X-Type on similar trips.

 

Congrats

I traveled 750 Miles (Greensboro NC to Toronto, Ontario). Flew down with my teenage son and drove back. Was a fun trip despite weather getting in the way of on time flights last summer. Had a day in Washington as a result and hit the Smithsonian Air Museum to kill time.

 

Happened upon mine by chance... We brought my wife's XJ8 in for service and my '09 S/C was on the lot and just brought up to my dealer. They didn't have it on the lot for long and I took a test drive... Traded my CTS-V for it the next day and I'm on the fence with a bit of regret these days... I guess 25 days and counting in the shop this month might do that but I'll be drivin' it soon... hopefully

 

I drove 341 miles. Flew from San Jose to LAX, drove up to Thousand Oaks Jaguar. I probably saved 10k off the prices in the Bay area. 2010 XF with 9K miles. Perfect condition, 25 months of warranty plus 2 years extended. Love the car.

 

After finding my car in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the fiancé and I flew down from Dallas, Texas and spent the better of both Sat and Sun on the road. 1291 miles. But worth it to me, since the dealer knocked off over $10000 for a practically brand new portfolio!

 

Boy, I thought I had driven a long way to get mine. The drive was definitely worth it and I really love the car. I had driven a 2009 XF back in 2010 while my X-Type was in the shop and ever since then I knew that I had to have that car. Looking back I wonder why I waited so long...

My X-Type spent several weeks in the shop over the last three years so I know the feeling of the automotive love/hate relationship. Even this year it spent two weeks in and that's when I got to drive the 2011 model XF. One drive with the 5L V8 and that's when I spent the next few months putting my finances together to buy the 2012 XF. Oddly enough I ended up with the same interior/exterior color combo that I had on my X-Type: Ebony with burl walnut wood.

 

Well this is my first Jaguar. But I did, as you, drove a 2009 back in 2010. Had alot of things going on then and when I cleared things up and started researching I found out about the facelift. So the waiting began about a year ago for the right car at the right price. That's why I went halfway across the country to get it!

 

I drove about 3 miles to the delearship.

 

All four Jags have been from Sill-Terhar Jag, 25 miles from my house.

Our 2004 XJ8L was in for its 100k mile service, they gave us a 2010 XF loaner. We kept it.
4k miles, 6 months old, for $15k under new price and Select Edition with the 6 year, 100k mile warranty.

 

Morrisville NC to Miami FL

 

That is a smokin' deal. I went from Houston to San Antonio to bring the family to Fiesta Texas and stopped to see an XF in SA since we were in the vacinity. I was shopping nation wide, but saw enough bad to know I wouldn't fly to get an XF unless I had an independent look at it on my behalf first. That one in SA was one of the bad. I ended up finding my sweet deal about 6 miles from my house.

 

about a 10 minute drive for me to British Motor Cars in SF. TC

 

My dealership in the Hilton Head SC area is 7 miles from my home at the new river auto mall.

 

90 miles to my dealer in Rochester, NY

 

400 miles there and 400 miles back, worth it for sure, love this car!

 

12 miles.......traded 425hp for 385hp......wound up with a much more liveable car.

 

That's where I bought mine too.
