RE: PH Fleet: Jaguar XF Diesel S
Discussion
I bought an 09 plate XFS Portfolio in January and have covered a wonderful 6K miles since.
Powerful when you want it. Relaxing when you want it.
Best on a tankful (Calculated) 38.4 - Worst 30.8
On a motorway run from fillup I was averaging a reported 46 mpg on the first half of the tank but some running about on the rest of the tank brought it down to mid 30's.
The XFS in one word = Effortless
It's a nice place to be 100% of the time.

actually i said anything like it is at least that. The cheapest 2012 portfolio on trader is £38,800 and that isn't even an 'S' engine. Cheapest 'S' is £39995. After checking drive the deal, apparently they can be had new for £42,671 on the road. Considering the drop is more like £2k than £20k I think this is a non-topic.
yes,although a 2011 portfollio 3.0"s is on sale at £29,995 at Jag main dealer with 12,000 miles and they would have give £26,k, so a year old is going to be worth £25-£26 trade in if its low mileagetomoleeds said:

sorry i was wrong loosing £20k in 18 months is not bad
Where did you get £20k from? They are about £42k new, so you are over-egging it by not far off double. No-one is saying they don't depreciate more than german marques, but you are clearly committed to giving a wildly bigger impression than the reality. Now there are a lot of people on PH that dip into threads talking about cars they don't own (and I'm not what it is that drives them to do so), and regurgitate things they have heard (from their mate dave down the pub who's uncle once knew a bloke who owned one, or it might have been his cousin etc), which are quite often blanket generalisations based on made up or at best 15-degree chinese whispered 'facts'. You only have to speak to the guys on the TVR forums to find out how often this happens.
I'm going no further with this!
the model at watford Jaguar has the extras the same as the one featured here on PH,it cost £53k,
new, now a 2011 can be bought for £29,450,if you dont have a px i should imagine they would take £28k even at screen price its a loss of £23k , all i am saying is you could buy a 2011 xf portfolio 3.0s and a 2009 Range rover sport for the same price as a new xf portfolio, 3.0s

I have a 2010 MY XF Portfolio and have had it since new. The car has all of the options available at that time. The car is simply the best car I have ever had. I have had a few too, Mercs, BMW etc. However I have had my XF reprogrammed by DMS (cost £450) and this make s a hell of a performance difference. The Torque is up to 535FT/LB (730 Newton Metres) and the power is 305. It is very much quicker than the XF 'S' right across the performance range. My son has a chipped M3 and my wife a Boxster S. The Jag blows them both away in every aspect except 0-60 type driving. It's not good practice to drive like this in an automatic, but once on the move it goes like hell. If you want performance in a diesel go to DMS (your fule consumption is better too, my will do 45 MPG on a long run providing you keep around 80)
