New member looking at 2012 Jaguar XF w/ Questions about warranty!
Hi Guys:
I am Edward from Ontario and have been looking to buy my first real car (not a student car) since my company is giving me 535 a month towards it.
I have been looking at a lot of used 2012 Xfs and I keep seeing a lot of Portfolio Trims Models from various dealers that are 4k to 5k less than the Jaguar 2012 Xf base models at the Jag Dealership.
I dont have a very specific question but want to know the pros and cons. And if the pros are worth the extra 5k? As far as warranty goes I believe at this time, every 2012 Xf is still under the original Factory warranty regardless who you buy it from right? I'd like to extend the warranty after the factory expired and would like to know your input on Jag Dealer vs 3rd Party Dealer (Mitsubishi, Independent dealers).
I am aware this question may have been asked before so if theres a thread related to this please feel free to send me in the right direction.
Thanks!

I realize I wasn't clear in my question. I will buy the extended warranty, but I want to know the pros and cons between buying from the official Jaguar dealership vs other used car dealers. I am not sure if it matters since all 2012 XFs are still under factory warranty at this point right?

I'm not clear on what warranty is available on the used car... however, when I sold my XKR last year the dealer really wanted it within a certain time frame as Jaguar would extend the factory warranty for them. It was a 2010 and time was tight so I gave them the xkr before the F was ready, for a price.
So, I would check with a Jaguar dealer as they may have one with an extended factory warranty.. as well, my experience with Jaguar dealers or at least mine, has been really good.. sales and service both.

It all comes down to the mileage and when the car was put in service, as in original owner took delivery. The 4 year warranty kicks off then so it is an important factor. If the miles are low and the warranty still valid I would tend to save a few grand and go through a third party dealer as the risk is low if you have access to the service records and the warranty is still valid.
Here is an example in the GTA that seems a pretty decent deal with lower kms...
