Matt, I bore your advice in mind when we bought our XF last month. We, too, bought the Premium luxury, checked it out on an online data service (not one quite as thorough as Car Vertical but close enough). A 2009 for £3,800, which you may think was too cheap, but, as you always say, hold back a couple of grand for fixing what needs fixing, and we knew what was needed. It's cam belt was done, we knew, but not the gear box service, so that was the first job done. It's booked in for everything else that needs to be done which pretty much accounts for the two grand. So effectively just under 6 grand, though I have to say I'd rather have paid what we paid and made sure we got the jobs done ourselves than pay out more and trust that the jobs had already been done. And we love it. It's my fourth Jag, and I don't get why so many people - who obviously haven't had one - insist they are not reliable. Only if they aren't looked after. And we still have some change to buy some 'werthers originals'.

By the way, Jaguar now say every 7 years for the cam belt - I think because the cars have been more successful than expected and are racking up mileage more quickly. The ZF service cost around £400 by an independant specialist in Doncaster, but, annoyingly, our local 'official' Jaguar centre gave me the same old speel about it being a sealed unit. They tried to tell me it wasn't a "serviceable item, sir", but... "since you insist, sir, we can do it for £629 and 17 pence"... mmmmm, how odd that for a non-serviceable item they could quote an exact price to the penny, for a service they said it didn't need and one they didn't offer. I went elsewhere and saved £200. Why do Jaguar do that?

@@Billythebubble I've had 4 Jags, an XJ40. an XJ8, an S-Type and now the XF - never experienced that 'Limp-Home-Mode' problem, though I know it does happen to some cars seemingly without good reason. What I have had, though, is sensor problems. An engine problem warning light comes on but when you check it out the reported problem does not exist, it's the sensor (the one that supposedly senses that problem) that is faulty and costs as much as to fix as the problem would have cost had it really existed. The other annoying issue was Jaguar insisting that the gearbox is a sealed unit that doesn't need servicing - except that it DOES and it will let you down BIG TIME if you don't service it regularly, this I have learned to my cost. This was particularly true in earlier cars in which the gearbox was made by MERCEDES... good idea, Jaguar, trust a competitor to supply you with your gearboxes... mmmmm... not that I'm suggesting anyone was being cynical, Heaven forbid...

I’ve been watching your videos for many years Matt. This is the first time I can remember a vehicle that was in good condition and properly maintained. The previous owner, definitely looked after this vehicle very well. All of the service history etc… Sadly, it’s very rare nowadays, as shown by your recent videos, for people to keep their car well maintained and in good / clean condition etc, particularly when it’s a 12 year old vehicle. Love the XF They look great Really glad u had a win, and made a good profit, quickly. 👍

Do Jaguar owners REALLY take such good care of their cars or do they just have anything additional taken care of while they are at the shop so they don't have to come back next week?

Before buying a 3 year-old Boxster back in 2006, I paid for a full pre-purchase inspection [around 400, I think, so expensive - but worth it]. Car was mint and had been well looked after. I followed suit during 2 years of ownership, before moving it on; the report was helpful when selling. Skip to 2011, I received a call from the 4th owner who'd just bought it [found my number on the report], to say 'thanks for looking after the car so well.' I wonder if a car that's had a good start creates a feeling of obligation in future owners to keep it tip-top!

You can tell it’s the S by the sports seats. They are the same as the R. Also it’s not the extra 25hp that makes a difference it’s the torque, another 100nm over the non s.

What a result. You are correct about Jaguar owners, we are passionate about the marque. I have owned four examples right from a 1962 Mark 2 through to the modern examples.

Probably the most well kept car I have seen on the channel. Kudos to the former owner!

Great vlog yet again Matt, thanks. Superb car you found yourself there and how nice to find one that's been looked after so well. The new owner is one lucky person. Stay well 👍🏻

Great video Matt. Love JLR products. You never disappoint. Fantastic car. Thrilled to see it has been maintained as they should. You tempted to keep this for your run around, if I hadn’t just bought a hybrid I would be after this Jag XFS love it in brilliant white.

Always love when your buys work out much better than you expected. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Matt these are such classy cars you got me into these beauties. But for me now being a family man i must say they nailed the design with the estates as well. Love your passion for the brand and restoring/giving a new lease of life to the car. For a new owner to hopefully do the same and sustain it’s quality! Also still rarely skip your adverts either!

Love your entrepreneurial spirit, and the transparent and honest way you conduct your business, Matt. Might be coming to you for a car very soon.

Lovely car, and yes nice to see someone took care of it, especially if you compare it with that 1 series that you had recently. Unfortunatly the level of care is not always reflected in what the original owner gets for the car in px as the market tends to be on lowest common denominator, plus most were bought on finance that people could barely afford, let alone the cost of a service. Good to see the air con working on both hot days in the north ❤😊.

Great stuff, lovely car and nice to see it well cared for, glad you got a good result on it. Much preferred this XF shape and interior to the replacement, though sadly a lot of this era of cars will be impacted by clear air zones in cities but still loads of life left for owners outside of these

Excellent result Matt and the buyer has a great video to keep and use when he sells his beautiful XF on.

Glad you got a result with the XF. I bought a 2015 XFS Sportbrake identical to the one you tested a few years ago & the previous owner had also lavished it along with a folder of all spends right from the start. I have carried on in the same way and am lucky to have a good independent Jag servicing place local 😁

A beautiful car and another unexpected win for you - you're definitely on a roll at the moment. I used to have the later model 3.0 S XF Sportbrake. The V6 diesel engine is very creamy and it drove like a dream. When the kids moved out, I downsized to a Golf GTE.

Great review Matt ... what a cracking find. I bought my XF after watching your first review on it and couldn't be happier. Às you always (and I) say ... if you take care of your car it will normally take care of you. Cheers. Mike.

What a lovely car! It’s refreshing to see you find a car that’s been loved. Hopefully the new owner looks after it just as well.

Excellent video Matt, Thank You.

Great video. Someone got themselves a real beauty. I'm new to this channel and finding it really helpful. Keep up the good work Matt. I've never had a Jag before but the XF looks like a lot of car for the money.

Great video Matt! I thoroughly love my XF, despite being a ‘lowly’ 2.2d model (2012, facelift). I bought from a private seller, which was a bit of a risk, but fortunately I’ve got a really nice model. Unfortunately had to shell out some money on a rusted wheel bolt but all good now!

Thats a lovely xf Matt, well cared for. I sold my 2011 xf's tonight as it happens and bought an xkr, hope it gives me as much pleasure as the xf did. Glad to see you getting a good turn for a change.

Great result Matt and a stonking good car at that price. Double six roll of the dice, well done!

I've had a couple of these, 2.7litre and 3.0litre Portfolio. Looked after them and used specialists. They're super quick and smooth and the engine and transmission is among the best, the economy is decent too considering the performance. Great video! 👍🏼

Still got my XF S, Premium Luxury 09, bought off the back of the first video you did. I love it more every time I drive it. 😉 The sound system was an extra in this trim, another bonus as well as the roof lining.👍 Be Well.

Lovely car.. I like how you are not afraid to show us all your expenses, possible profits or the inevitable losses you face daily! so i`m also quite sure that if the new owner was to see this video that he (or she) would be reassured they have just bought themselves a good car...

Well deserved Mat. Congrats and on to the next one 👏 🙌 👌

Great video Matt, I remember watching you’re video on the red XFS sportbrake a few years back and that was the exact video that persuaded me to go buy one over a 5 series so I’m a proud owner of an XFS sportbrake but in portfolio trim only downsides were needed 2 tyres and an MOT but got it really cheap it’s also the strangest spec as it has radar cruise but no front parking sensors or camera! Also that headlining was an option on any trim level below the portfolio. Anyway ramble over, I do feel like the jag is an out there choice!

Very happy for you, you deserve the occasional "easy win". Looking forward to the next one... Cheers!

Another cracking video. Flawless content. Quickly becoming my favourite youtube channel 👏 👍

You really hit the jackpot here Matt. Isn't it wonderful to see a car which has been lovingly looked after. And he even left you the spare part! Unbelievable. I'm surprised he didn't leave you a few Pound coins in the ash tray. I was waiting for you to say, at the end of the video that you had decided to keep the car, but you didn't. I think you'll regret having not kept it. Such a lovely car.

Lovely to see someone has cared for their car like I would. A change from the skip's on wheels you often get Matt😊

I've owned a few of these over the years. Fantastic cars. The XF-S I had was an absolute rocket ship, less than 6 seconds to 60mph and 600nm of torque got me in trouble many a time...

Owned the XF myself (facelift model 2.2 LE), up until 150K on it. Didn't miss a beat and didn't have any issues aside from the rear door latch knackering out which is common on JLR products. Always serviced well (i tend to use Mobil1 or Castrol oil/Brembo brakes/Bosch Filters as a rule of thumb), and it never put a foot wrong. Amazing car, and do miss it!

always been a fan of the XF. would love to own one sometime. great spec on this particular vehicle. stick a private plate on it and it'll easily look 5yrs newer. i think this model has aged very well. bonus that the previous owner (for once) maintained the car as it should have been. great result for you.

Nice one matt ❤

Awesome! Really enjoyed that video. Glad to see you got some profit at the end of it. You work hard for that money! I had a 2010 3.0d XF (not the S) and I can confirm it was plenty quick enough. Loved that car, kept it 5 years and only sold it when I bought a more modern Supercharged model. The S has the extra 25 horsepower, as you said, plus a lip smacking extra 100 Newton-metres of torque - that's the bit that really counts. Plus your car has the aero kit fitted, which looked really nice. (Deeper front spoiler, sculpted sills and rear spoiler.) Those headlamps looked like Halogen to me. I had the same silver bits between the Halogen lamps on my car (another Premium Luxury) and they were just blanks covering over the space where the headlamp washers resided on the cars with Xenon headlamps. You were right about the Alcantara headlining being an extra. Nice. You were spot on in your comments about Jaguar owners: every word rang true! 😊 Nice to see that Jaguar twinkle in your eye when doing that story! 😉

Good stuff, well done.

Loved to see the twinkle in your eye due to it being a genuinely nice example! Glad you turned a healthy profit 👏
