Hi all,
I have a 98 XJR and decided it was too nice to beat up on the daily routine so now she's my weekender. I just picked up a 2010 XF-R today. One owner car, 69k miles and meticulously maintained. Pretty excited to get comfortable with it. Major service was just done prior to me buying it.
Night and day difference tho, isn't it. I really appreciate some of the modern features of the XF like the rear view camera and I-phone connectivity, but I do miss some the great things about the old XJ8, like the overall visibility. First thing that really burned me tho was going to the airport to pick up my sister and trying to stuff her rolling suitcase into the boot. The XJ8 was a breeze, but with the XF, wow, you gotta be so incredibly careful. It was like threading a needle but the thread weighed 100lbs. But that's the tradeoff for modern styling.

If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for the vehicle? I'm interested in selling mine and wondering what they're getting for these vehicles. Mine has 41,000 miles on it.
