Looking at a 2012 Jaguar XF with the 5.0 liter V8. Honest opinions?

I work as a Jaguar Part Interpreter and in the whole time the XF has been out, We've only had requests for engine parts for the diseasels.

After the whole STYPE V8 and XK8 motors blowing themselves up. It looks like Jaguar has finally decided to make some decent V8s again.

You should be fine.

Reliability is not an issue with Jags nowadays.

The main problem is fuel economy. Good luck getting into the Twenties once you use the noise pedal. Ride quality is excellent, made to cope with the crappy roads here in the UK. Problem with that is that its not as poised and nimble in the corners as the BMW M3. Depending on what you prioritise will depend how much your bothered by this.

Good buddy of mine owns one (I call it the UKIP-mobile) so any questions I'll pass on at a more acceptable hour and post of thread's still alive.

Buy from Carmax and get the extended warranty. Or just price it out. A camry warranty is like 1200. So base it off that to figure out reliability.

How long are those? 3 years or something?

Yeah, I've come to really like Carmax when looking at shit that is a little more on the rare side since they ship nation wide.

It goes up to like 6-7 years or 120k miles plus what it already has.

Jag mechanic here:

No, it's ugly.

Engine is great.

Climate control is annoying.

Suspension bushings are all explodey.

2010-2015 Jags are the cars we see most often in the shop right next to BMW's and Mercs.
