Finally my XFR is being bought back!
Helo everyone,
Jaguar NA and the dealer agreed to take my car back (reminder: it was a demo 2012 XFR that was repainted and not disclosed to me). Still haven't given up on the brand though, and after test driving pretty much everything in the price range (S class, E63, 550i, Audi S4/S5, A6/S6/A7), I still can't get the Jaguar out of my system. I therefore narrowed it down to 2 distinctly different cars:
2012 XFR certified pre owned with 5K miles - white/black + back pack and red calipers (really sharp looking car) for 67K
or
2012 XJL supercharged (470hp), black/ivory with really cool disc style 20' wheels. No sport package or sport seats i think.
The XJ is surprisingly quick and when driven in S mode and track mode it sounds great and plenty fast. The interior is one of the nicest I have seen in any car. This car is a new 2012 leftover with 80miles, but the warranty was started a year ago, so only 3 years remain. They want 72K for it and it was 95K new.
Any advice or tips on which one to go with? Which is a better deal or hold value longer?

Good!
Did you ever get to the bottom of the situation? Who/where/when the car was repainted? Who knew what, and when did they know it?
Is the dealer repurchasing the car, or is Jaguar NA repurchasing the car?
Just curious
Cheers

I will never know for sure. I speculate that it was repainted by jaguar and sold to the dealer at an auction. the dealer new, of course, but failed to disclose it to me and therefore Jaguar forced them to buy it back. I truly was hoping for some kind of incentive towards a new car, but no such luck. At least they are taking the car back which is the right thing to do.

Of course it is more agile. The XJ is a big, long car. The suspension is different I presume and it is geared towards more relaxed driving. I love the dimensions of the XFR - not too big, not too small.

As they both weight the same, I would suspect the suspension is the only real difference, as you stated.

Dunno which to pick, the XJ is certainly more current and the latest design. Agreed the interior is a slight notch up.
That said, it was the combination and sporting and luxury of the XFR that won me over...I don't think the XJ has that on offer.
So...nice interior of the XJ vs the sporting nature of the XF?
Great to hear they took care of the issue!

Buy back
You failed to mention what the dealer bought it back for vs what you paid? The Xjl has terrible resale value! If I were you . If they aren't giving you any incentives on your new purchase and you came out ok on the buy back? Then I'd move on a buy a brand that holds its value much better. Jags have terrible resale value. Especially the Xjl,s. jaguar is practically giving them away because they aren't selling.

Buy back
Well I'd take the money and run!!! Honestly the XJL you mentioned really sounds like a bad deal since you are only getting 3 year warranty and it only has 80 miles on it. Nice discount but not with a 3 year warranty. Maybe you can get them to jaguar certify select or whatever it's called with a 6 year warranty. But if this dealership was dishonest in the beginning. Just be glad you got out from under your car and try another brand.

I would get the XFR. I have e 2012 in Polaris White with grey interior. I LOVE it. People comment about it all the time and I live in LA - where you are what you drive and there's plenty of money being spent on cars. There's over a million dollars worth of cars in front of my health club every morning but the valets always talk about the XFR. I like that the fact that I don't see a lot of XFRs. Unlike Mercedes and especially BMW. The white is also a good color. No attention drawn to it so I have been lucky when it comes to opening her up on the freeway.

If you want resale, buy a Toyota, Honda, etc...
If you want something that is NOT all over the place, and makes your heart beat faster when you drive it and walk up to it. Buy a Jaguar. I know many that have other luxury cars and ALL have issues. My GF boss's 2011 BMW 6 series is in the shop more than any Jaguar I work on and she picks him up in her stone reliable Stype from the dealer all the time

This sounds like an isolated, unfortunate incident. And Jaguar has resolved with a full buy-back. I wouldn't let that cloud your view of the vehicle itself - you could have the same from any dealer in any brand. If you loved the car before, you should still love it now. I bought mine CPO last year and it has been wonderful. If you like the sporty feel, my bias would be to go with the XFR. But that's personal choice.
