Hi
New to the forum, so thought I would introduce myself while I ask for some advice.
I am looking to buy an XF, something around 5 years old (budget is around £15,000) with under 100,000 miles, I plan to keep the XF around 4-5 years, averaging around 10-15,000 miles a year.
I have had an Audi A3 2.0 Diesel for the last 5 years (2008 model), so it's been a good car but just abit bored of it, always liked the look of the XF on the motorways and sat in a work colleagues XF a few weeks ago and really liked the feel of it and the quality (he had the Diesel 2.2 Luxury model).
I do relatively low mileage at the moment, my work's office is 7 miles each way, but takes about 30 minutes due to city centre traffic, do occasional work trip to customer sites, but not very often, so rarely get a good burn on the engine. I had a new Turbo fitted for my Audi as it got clogged up and kept going into limp mode (wasn't a DFP version), and looking at this forum there are issues with DPF, so I have been looking for a petrol XF but I am really struggling to find an XF in petrol, most second hand are Diesel as I guess allot are ex-company cars etc.
Am I best getting a Diesel XF (I use Costco fuel which is supposed to be the BP Ultimate) and giving it a good run, would once a week be enough? or try and find a Petrol version.
Also, one thing I really like about my A3 is I had the Audi RNSE installed, which is a really good satnav and Media player where I can store music on 2*32GB memory cards, so I have lots of music on 1 card and Audio Books like Harry potter for my kids on the other card, I have seen a few posts mention linking IPOD's and USB drives to the XF, is this an extra or standard? as I would really like something like that.
Any advice appreciated.
Paul.
