Hi all, nice to meet you
As the title suggests a guy I know has his XF for sale. It seems like a lot of car for the price but not sure what to look for exactly as I'm hearing mixed things about these in terms of reliability.
Car is a 2011 XF S (D) pre facelift with 140k miles
So far from what I can gather...
PROS
- It's in great condition inside and out, all electrics work
- Cambelt and water pump replaced in 2021 (110k) along with coolant header tank, one inlet manifold and some suspension parts.
- Brakes and disks seem fine and has 4 new premium tyres replaced last year
CONS
- Serviced yearly since new up until 2021, but not been serviced since (32k miles)
- No receipts for a gearbox service, current owner hasn't had it done during their ownership
- Pre facelift, Luxury spec (but does have heated seats)
Based on the above is it worth considering for £2k or would you avoid like the plague?
Anything in particular I need to be looking/listening for when I take it for a drive?
What are parts availability and prices like?
Being a Lexus/Volvo guy is 140k miles a lot for this engine or has this just been run in?
Apologies for all the questions just want to go into it with my eyes open if I do decide to take the plunge
Feel free to share any info you think would be helpful.
Thanks in advance, much appreciated
