yeah, they do look really good. I really need to hear what they sound like in real life before i jump in. Just worried that i pay alot of money for them and its makes little or no difference on a diesel

hi, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the car i wanted was sold the day before i went to have a look at it. Fortunately another garage had a 2011 Luxury S with just over 30k miles on it. Went up at the weekend and had a look round it and had a test drive. I could tell with 3 minutes of driving it, that i was going to buy it. So nice to drive. Its in black with a few chrome extras, like the door mirrors. As i said it drives perfectly, full service history from jaguar. Nothing mechanically wrong with it. The only thing that was wrong, was the front passenger alloy has a dent in it, its not affecting the way it drives and its not doing any damage to the tyre, so will probably see if i can get it repaired locally. Its a smallish company i bought it from, but the owner (who i dealt with) is a big jaguar guy, owns a couple and always has a few in stock, says its the best jaguar he's every had come through the business, and soon as i take delivery of it he's going to go buy another one, he even said to me that he hadnt listed it for a few weeks after he bought it because he loved it so much he didnt really want to sell it. So as you can imagine i am very excited about picking it up (which should be tomorrow afternoon). I'm going to drive it for a while, then after ive spent some time with it, decide if i think it needs abit more power through a remap, or if the sounds needs enhancing with a new exhaust system

HI, im new around here. Im looking to buy a second hand XF (portfolio S). I've found one i like at a fairly local garage, i bought my last car from them, so trust them. I was wondering what, if anything i should be looking out for or asking about when i go to see it? Any common faults or problems? Its on a 60 plate and it seems to have a decent amount of kit. It will be my first experience of a jaguar, its a big step up from my vauxhall astra vxr, that im driving at the moment! Im bored with hot hatches and want something abit more grown up and with a touch of luxury. The thing i will miss from the vxr is the sound, i know its all exhaust but mine does sound nice, i know the jaguar is quiet when cruising, but when you put your foot down doesit make a good sound? I have thought about getting an aftermarket exhaust for it, just to add a nice burble. Are there any, that anyone recommends? Thanks
