Manufacture Buy Back Advice
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi,
Looking for buyers advice regarding a manufacture buy back (lemon) 2010 Jaguar XF Premium. The vehicle has 8,000 miles, no cosmetic flaws but was sold back to the manufacture for "lack of power/loss of acceleration". In the vehicle repair report it stated the vehicle lost power while the owner was driving it. The vehicle's issue has since been repaired (according to the report) and the dealership is now offering a 6y/100,000 mile warranty with it. The dealer is selling it for several thousand below Kelly Blue Book value and is the cheapest one around. I've taken it for a test drive and I do not notice any issues. I also understand I will receive a couple thousand less for it when trading it in. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Too much. I was looking at 2010 XF Prems with 20k miles (keep in mind NO title issues) for $40k.
While the car may be nice and trouble free for you, I am telling you that when you trade the car in, you will get hosed and it will not be worth the little couple thousand right now. That is way too much. For $44K I bet youc an find an issue free car.
Right now, call up a Mercedes or BMW dealer and tell them specs of your car, you will get an offer of around $35K for that car, maybe even less.

I'd buy it for $40K out-the-door (all the fees and taxes included), but no more than that. I'm sure the car will be fine, but you do have to disclose that it has been bought back when you decide to sell it or to trade it in in the future and you will undoubtedly take a hit then.
Best of luck! Hope you get a car you want

I've been to several Jaguar dealers within a couple hundred miles of me and no one is willing to budge in price other than this Jaguar. I did find a 2009 XF Supercharged with 30k miles for the same price but could not really feel much, if any difference in performance and again they would not come down in price. I'm okay with this car's issue and repair because of the bumper to bumper warranty. My current vehicle needs brakes/rotors replaced ASAP and I do not want to invest if I'm going to trade it this summer. Plus the dealer is giving me $3,000 more in trade than I hoped for.
Thanks everyone for the help!

09 S/C and 5.0 should be pretty even matched acceleration-wise, according to Car&Driver test results. No wonder you did not feel much difference. I understand where you are coming from though: XF is a gorgeous car that drives like a dream and having a peace of mind that the warranty warrants (ahem) would probably be enough for me ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I have a feeling you will get it; post pictures when you do, ok?!

I know this vehicle is right for us, so we got it. We traded our Q7 for it which was a fantastic vehicle that treated us well. We were looking only at a select few different types of vehicles but nothing came close to the attrativeness, performace, and warranty of this Jaguar. I will post pics as soon as I can. Thanks again everyone for the help!

I've driven a loaner XF 5.0 quite a few times and to me there is a big difference. I can't wait to get my car back after driving the NA 5.0. The NA 5.0L is listed as over .8 sec slower 0-60 and you can definitely tell or at least I can. The lower rpm range in the 5.0 seems like a dog when comparing it to the SC 4.2. I suppose you aren't going to notice much of a difference unless you really get your foot down though and the NA 5.0L was also getting noticeably better gas mileage when I drove it.

On C&D Test, 0-60 and 1/4 mile were fairly close between the 2. However a 60-120 test I believe, aka a highway run, the 4.2 S/C really took charge beating the 5.0 N/A by 2 seconds I believe it was.

I personally only drove a 5.0 and was very much impressed by the grunt. My choice would probably be a 5.0S/C though - hard to resist 0-60 in 4.3s and 1/4 in 12.8

I believe it is very much possible, but I can't find such test results. Not even the usual 30-50&50-70 'top gear' acceleration for 5.0.
