I am new to this forum. I searched quite extensively but i couldn't find the answers to my questions. After much deliberation between the Maserati Quattroporte and the Jaguar XF i have decided to purchase an XF. I am between a MY 2009 and MY 2010.

My questions are:
1) How reliable are these cars? Aside from regular oil changes/brake changes/tire replacement what is the yearly maintenance cost for ad hoc repairs. I own a BMW currently and she costs me around $3000 a year in maintenance including oil changes etc. Should i be expecting similar or is the XF more/less reliable?
2) Should i consider purchasing a warranty - warranty costs about $5000 for 3 years.
3) MY 2009 comes without warranty and MY 2010 comes with some warranty (a few months) - the difference in price is about $5000. does the 2010 with the warranty justify the higher price tag?
4) Which is a better drive: 09 XF supercharged or 2010 XF Premium (5.0L) - I'm 25 years old and love a sportier car.
5) Is the supercharged version costlier to maintain/less reliable as compared to the base/premium models?
6) When do cars in general depreciate the most. I.e its december - should i wait a couple of months for the cars to depreciate (because of the new year) or is the deprecation even throughout? I know this is tough question - any input is appreciated.


I can't decide between 09 premium, 09 supercharged and 2010 premium. 09 supercharged is without warranty but the same price as 2010 premium with 6 months outstanding factory warranty; and the 09 premium is $5000 cheaper than the other two.

Thanks for your help guys =) Hoping to become a Jag owner real soon and contributing to this forum.

What are you considering?

Also, the XFR is a perfectly good winter car as long as you fit winter tyres and use the snow/ice setting.
