You got ACM install included in the price? Any tips on haggling/convincing the dealer down to such an offer?

Oh, I listen to my radio constantly, so, that sounds like something that I'll definitely need to check out.

What I mean by 'fix it right' is that the jag dealer who sold me the car has helped me keep the car in perfect condition. They have been great at diagnosing things and fixing them. I am yet to pay for a big repair in over 3 years of ownership.

So far the most expensive thing I've done is replace my stock tires with Contitental Extreme Contact DWS. They are excellent!

Minor repairs include:

1. Lubricate emergency brake cable.

2. Replace bushings on rear control arm

3. Change window track on front passenger door.

That's it! I have to replace brake pads on my next visit. So far dealer has done ALL my oil changes and wheel alignments for free.

I got the dealer to commit to install the ACM when I got my car. It was written as part of the deal. It took them a day to install it.

Based on my experience the software on built in navi systems just isn't as great as what's on the portable and mobile phones. My iPhone's GPS is much better than what's on the XF! Much better. But having the 7 inch screen looks very nice
