Looking to buy 2014 r sport model help

[GeorgeD]

Hi sorry but only registered as I'm looking to buy the r sport model 2014 fsh 2 owner 60k.  Is there anything I should be looking for in regards to potential issues with them and future problems that are regular with theses models. Never owned a jag and looking for my first one but not sure if it's what I need as I don't actually do that many miles.  I've done 16k on the past 2 and a half years mainly pottering about and just wanted something a bit nice for a change as opposed to my insignia.  Thanks for any help and advice you can offer me.

Wow thanks for the advice.  Amg it is then seeing as their members have at least offered advice on mercs.  Cheers for turning someone against buying a jag.

Hi

I have been an XF owner for 2 years now. Basically if you get one with a full service history they are as reliable as anything else. Mine has cost the same to run as my wifes 2015 Skoda Rapid! The only real weekness seems to be electrics in terms of the battery. So many problems you read about seem related to a less than perfect battery. If you are only using for pottering you will probably eventually run-down the battery to a level where wierd problems occur. Solution is simple either go for a long run every week (also helps the EGR and DPF) or get a CTek trickle charger.

If you do choose a Merc I hope you enjoy it, they are nice cars, but you will miss out on the unique Big Cat experience. I know which I would rather be sitting in 🙂

Regards

John
