Is the upgraded sound a standard feature on the XFR? How many versions of sound systems are available for the 2010 S/C does anyone know? Sound is very important to me also!

 

Here you go.. Looks like the upgraded B&W sound system was standard on the XFR. Like I said you need a digital source in order to activate the "dolby pro logic" mode that uses all the speakers. In this mode you can opt for stereo , 3 speaker surround or dolby pro logic which in my opinion sounds the best. FM alone sounds terrible but dolby pro logic with a high bit digital source sounds amazing. Was very happy once I figured that out. I also have the red painted callipers which I think looks cool...

2011 Jaguar XF Standard & Optional Equipment

 

Looking over the options the XFR has some pretty expensive options as standard equipment. Good luck...

 

In my 2010 XFR the Dolby Pro Logic works with the analog AUX input as well, at least it does on my car. And yes, it does sound WAY better than the 3ch stereo. I use a small bluetooth streamer connected to the AUX power and AUX audio in the armrest.

 

Yes is does work on aux as well. Not sure why it won't activate when listening to an FM radio station. Just found out there's suppose to be a garage door opener. Have you programmed yours? Thx...

 

Can you guys have a look at this CARFAX report and tell me your opinions on things replaced, worked on?

Thanks

 

From what I'm seeing the things replaced can happen on any car. As long as your not shelling out the money to have it fixed it's all good. I'm not seeing any major issues.. Engine, transmission, differential. I question if any service was done between 0 and 40K miles as it's not showing up but probably was done but not recorded. Likely not an issue.
Make sure you do not have any warning lights on the dash such as check engine, tpms etc. These can be easily cleared but will generally pop back up relatively quickly if there is an underlying issue. The underlying issue can be expensive to fix. If all is well there take it to an independent garage "if possible" to have it checked "for accidents" and plan on spending some money in the first year or two of ownership. You will likely need new rotors/pads which is around 1k if you get good stuff and do it yourself as well as tires another 500 to 1k. They'll tell you the brakes / tires are still ok but they are likely on their way out unless they were changed recently and this car loves tires especially if you start pushing it around corners.
Also make sure accessories like the rear sunscreen / sunroof work properly. One thing that may make it easier on you is understanding you are buying a used car that will likely require some investment in the first year so plan on it. Get a "good" extended warranty. One that covers seals etc. I paid around 3k for mine but it covers all major components for 5 years or 60K miles. It's more money but I sleep well at night.

 

One last thing. If you decide to buy an extended warranty make sure the company is reputable and doesn't give people the run around when/if it comes time to make a claim. Also make sure you know of a garage that has previously worked with the extended warranty company and has processed claims with them without issue. If you can get it from the dealer that would be my first choice but sometimes it depends on the mileage.

 

Is there any recommended companies that one may suggest? Can the warranty be purchased after buying the car or can it only be purchased when the car is ?

 

Frequently the warranty has to be purchased from the dealer when you buy the car. Read up on the various warranty company reviews online. Some are better than others then call around for quotes. Their coverage can vary greatly depending on the plan you choose. If you're buying from a dealer they likely have this info. for you. Prices will also vary depending on the deductible you may have to pay per claim.

 

THe CarFax shows a few electrical issues, I would definitely extended warr it. Mine is through from the dealer through Wells Fargo Cost $3600, term is 2 years or 2Kmi, $200 deductible. Used 1 time $3000 A/C condenser and engine cooling fan replacement. Jag of Anaheim Hills loves dealing with WF. as far as finding one

I got mine from WestCoast Auto sales in Monte Claire CA. as they let me do things like look all over and under the car

Before I bought it. Gave me paperwork showing they had the supercharger rebuilt by Eaton, they picked up and dropped the car off after a sunroof repair.

 

I see the one your CarFax is on, but the next 2 are nice as well and within reach of the one you posted price wise

Great find Bigg Will....

 

To be honest guys, im kinda pushing it with the current one, these are great finds for sure, but im trying to keep financing to a minimum so that the monthly is not gonna choke me.. With the taxes and fees and then an extended warranty im probably kidding myself at the moment.. Waiting on some things to change.. had some major losses of late and trying to get back together, so i really should stay below 25..

 

So today I drove the 2009 xf supercharged with 71k miles...


Turns out the car ha 2 owners, the second owner is a huge car enthusiast and a race bike rider every weekend. The car has been maintained in the same dealership it's whole life and they literally all highway miles. He pointed the wheels in a custom finish and lowered the car on coils and springs. When I drove it I quickly learned why everyone tells me that once you drive the SC you won't look back at the NA lol

The car has a few defects interior wise which can help me lower the price, but other than that the car is immaculate and sits at 22k which I might be able to drop to 20 considering the defects and miles.

I really am considering on pulling the trigger and getting a power train warranty up to 120k miles. Any thoughts?

 

Have you driven one that has not been lowered? I love the way my 2011 xfr stock suspension feels. It's really a unique characteristic of the car. As Jeremy Clarkson put it "It's like driving on a fat dog". My experience "on a previous car" is after market parts always end up being a pita. There tends to be fitment/quality issues or clunks or stuff of that nature that develop. It's really hard to detect this stuff on a quick test drive. I believe in 2010 they changed engines and went with a 5.0l supercharged. I can't speak to the 2009 engine but the 5.0l SC hauls *** especially with a tune. You can probably find one for close to the same price. Warranty is an excellent idea on a used car of this nature and they tend to be reasonable.

Haven't driven an xfr unfortunately but I did drive a 2012 NA 5.0 and the body roll wasn't much but after driving a Bmw and a 350z I really notice it in corners where as this one I drove felt planted and almost resembling the characteristics of the z but still soft and smooth (even with the 20inch wheels). I would love be updated engine but there's nothing in the 5.0 within that price in the 200 mile radius

 

At the end of the day if the car feels right to you that's all that matters. Sounds like the car has still retained it's characteristics but with less body roll. Looks great too... Have it checked out for accidents and get a warranty. It sounds like the previous owner did it right.

 

Buy a later model 5.0 litre supercharged. You will be Very happy. I am thrilled everytime a M5 owner gets blown away at being badly beaten by an "Old man car".

 

And the 5.0 SC cars have a twin screw supercharger instead of Eaton roots blower, is way more efficient, mine averages 28 mpg on freeway and average city-highway for last 10k miles is 21mpg. I don't drive like grandma either.
