Hi everyone.
 
I'm considering buying one of these cars and would appreciate if someone could provide few words of wisdom:)
 
2009  2,7 diesel xf with 155,000 kilometers on.
2010 3,0 diesel xf wih 170,000 kilometers on.
 
Are they worth any consideration at all? both cost similar - 11k. euros.
 
which car would have a better engine and transmission and why? Planning on doing around 12-15k kilometers of driving per yer 50/50 urban/motorway
 
What problems could i expect at this mileage? on few places i have red that electronics tend to be a weaker side on these cars, as well as the there were some problems with trasmission stuck on P mode. Is it their weak side or it should have already been taken car by the dealers on these cars.
 
Also what should i look at when i go to inspect these cars?
 
Previously i owned mercedes c class 2009. was the first year when these models came out and before buying i did read a lot about these cars. Found a lot of complaints that they were with a lot of faults and etc. but when i bought it 3 years ago and made more than 50k kilometers with it, didnt had any isues with it ( only a broken handle). wonder if the same might be with these jags. a lot of bad reviews but in reality they are much sturdier.
 
Will be waiting for your help guys and gals:)

I have a 2010 3.0D V6 have had it for 2 years 55000 miles on it and no problems. I would go for the bigger engine has the fuel ecomony can be better than the 2.2. You must remember people only post when they have problems they never post and say another day trouble free. XF's do suffer with electrical gremlins but are normally fixed by just turning off and back on. Just make sure you have service history and cambelt/chains if high mileage.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking at buying XF 3.0d with less than 60k miles.

I prefer the look of the facelift model so that would be my 1st choice.

My question is apart from the restyle and addition of the 2.2d engine, were there any other mechanical improvements made to the cars that would affect reliability etc?

Welcome to the Club, Ken.

As someone who is hanging on to his S type I know very little about the XF other than what owners say, and most of the comments are positive.

You will get some good information from some members who drive these great cars.

Regards,

Peter.
