Default Hello - Newbie from the windy city

Greetings from Chicago. I do not own a Jagaur yet BUT just made what I believe is a fairly good deal on a 2010 XF Supercharged that's located at a dealership in Chantilly VA. This may be a long shot but is there any member that lives near Chantilly that would be able to inspect this vehicle for me before I sign the papers early next week? I had a flight booked there for Tuesday but had to cancel as a family emergency came up. I realize that there are third party inspectors but I'd prefer to have a Jaguar enthusiast look it over for me. Of course I am willing to pay a reasonable fee for the person's time.
Thanks! Hopefully, soon I will be a proud owner of a Vapor Gray/tan supercharged XF which will more than likely replace my modified 2009 CTS-V.

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I appreciate it. I have yet to hear from a member near the dealer in Chantilly, VA so I may just call a body shop in the area and ask if someone can go to the dealer to check out the car for me. My main concern is there is no body/paint work. It's a 2010 with 35k miles, and it was certified as part of the deal. I am quite certain that the tires and brakes are original and will probably need to be replaced in the spring. The car has been on the lot for about 5 months which concerns me. I have heard that usually after 60 days vehicles are sent to auction. I am a bit skeptical.

Thank you again.
