I have a 2010 5.0 Supercharged XF that I bought as a flip back in August 2022 it has 56000 miles
Ive been battling electrical issues I have so far replaced the cjb and im about to replace the tpms module and damping suspension module after all the time Ive spent with the car im considering keeping it im somewhat mechanically inclined and I also get discounted parts at my local JLR dealer if i decide to keep the car how much of a headache can I expect from this engine so far im about $10k CAD into it am i better off selling it or will I be able to enjoy it for another 30000 miles without having a mental breakdown every few months

 

I have the same 2010 V8 SC. I've had it 11 years now. About 75k miles. Love it - has never let me down once in all that time, still an amazing drive

Sounds like you have had a lot of issues. I've not had much - I've prob spent a lot less than you on mine in 10 years (aside from routine servicing)

But - they are getting older. Things will fail. And they are expensive cars. If you can do work yourself then I think it's a great car. If you're having to pay a dealer or specialist for everything then the economics are a bit more challenging

Yours is pretty low mileage. Should have a lot more life in that engine!

 

I probably should have mentioned im $10,000 into the car including the initial purchase price of the car

 

If you dont have a car payment keep it, newer cars aren't that well these days,they are trying to cut corners to save money,then that's applied to the consumer,my neighbors 2022 BMW is in the shop all the time,his last trip his turbos failed ,lucky for him he still has a warranty, once it's up they will fail again, his rear drivers side got stuck open ,Just keep it your mechanically inclined

 

In my experience, you need to find "a good one". There are certain makes, models, years, drivetrain configurations that are trouble but there are certain years within the the product range that very good. If you feel you got a bad one, shift it on. No sense in driving around with dread of what's to go bad next.

 

I have 151k miles on my 2010 XFR, call me crazy but most of my issues occurred before 75k miles. I have certainly had some repairs since then but nothing crazy. In fact, my 2nd oem battery lasted 7 years. I can't say enough about how good this car has been to me since I bought it late in 2010. I am now actually considering buying an F-Pace SVR because of my affinity to Jaguar performance. My 2018 Denali has half the miles and is not as solid as my XFR. Gonna be hard to part with my XFR if I get the F-Pace.............I might have to trade in something else. So to answer your question, DRIVE IT TO THE WHEELS FALL OFF!

 

That's so funny! After 10+ years with mine I'm also considering trading it for an F Pace SVR. I test drove one this week and it was great. Just hard to imagine parting with the XF while it still looks like new (perfect condition) and goes so well. So I'm on the fence.
But given Jag goes all electric in <2 yrs I'd like to get into one more ICE before that

Lmk what you decide.

 

Let me know your full report and thoughts on your test drive. Would love to get your insight.

 

Short answer - I really liked the F Pace SVR. New interior is well done and feels luxurious. The pivi system on the larger flat screen in the middle works well. It had the base Meridian sound which seemed pretty clear and plenty loud. Good bass too

Driving position comfortable - definitely much more suv vs the XF. Suspension is much better than XF over bumps and feels very forgiving. But when cornering sharply it had little body roll. A good combination

Acceleration is sharp and quick. Did feel a slight pause when getting hard on the power at low speeds vs XF which seems instantaneous. But in dynamic / sport mode that went away so I think it's just tuning so it doesn't jump to life too early. When it does the sound is terrific. Although a bit more muted than my f type.

Seats are great. And seem very 'thin' so there is better rear legroom. Full pano roof makes it bright inside

There wasn't anything I didn't like or that bothered me. Liked the black exterior but with black pack I wonder if it loses some of its definition.

So - definitely very interested. I have to admit I went in thinking that maybe I should try a BMW X3M competition (cheaper, not much smaller, gets terrific reviews) but now I'm definitely torn

Lmk what you decide.
