As mentioned earlier, our XF is portfolio spec.
I know it has the following additional extras:
- Aero pack (Sports front Bumper(deeper with enlarged air intakes)/side sills/rear spoiler)
- Dynamic Pack (Continuously active dampers/20" shadow chrome Volans alloys)
- Sports pack (Black front grilles/18 way electric/memory adjustable heated/cooled/ventilated warm charcoal sports seats)
- Alcantara headlining
- Blind spot monitoring door mirrors
- Tyre Pressure Sensors
- 60/40 split rear seat
- Premium velour mats
and I have since added Jaguar stone guards and some Premium rubber mats (both thanks to some ebay bargains), but not sure if the following were standard portfolio specification or more extras:
- Front/rear parking sensor with rear camera
- Bowers & Wilkins 14 speaker DAB/IPOD/USB/AUX/6 disc Changer/Dolby pro-logic surround sound
- xenons
- Sat Nav (Here Drive)
- Rain Sensor
- extended leather dash
When the search started we were hoping to find a late low mileage pre-facelift (wanted the headlight cut-out on the bonnet
) with the aero/dynamics/sports packs AND a sunroof AND the Adaptive Cruise Control (over the standard cruise) AND the electric rear blind.
Couldn't find a single XF-S with the sunroof AND all 3 packs, and neither one with the packs and ACC (most XF that had it were the 2.2's or 2.7s - probably reps doing the motorway miles?).
In fact, finding an XF-S with the 3 packs was challenging enough and the few I saw advertised had done a fair few miles. I have read the engines do take the mileage, but the plan is/was to keep this for sometime, so wanted as low as possible.
In the end we found ours at the local Jag Dealer with only 29k on the clock and, as a Jaguar approved car it came with 2 year warranty (with total claims up to the price paid for the car) and 2 year MOT warranty!
In terms of mods, I was not planning to do any performance type changes (other than possibly the spires exhaust system) while the warranty is valid - but I am always checking ebay to try and find the electric sunblind and some reasonably priced illuminated door sills
for a weekends retro-fit session
One thing to look out for on the pre-facelift (pre-2011) that we have found. The rear boot can suffer corrosion in the corners just above the rear chrome strip. The first time I went to wash the car I spotted the most minute pimple - thought "What the F...?" but after a quick google found it was common pre-facelift problem. The cure (both repair and on the facelift)is that a thin clear 3M strip is placed between the chrome strip and the bodywork. Apparently, Jaguar have never had a report/claim of the same issue on a facelift model with the said 3m strip.
Went to the Dealers the next day, who walked out to the car with me, took a look, agreed the issue, took a few photos and 3 days later Jaguar had approved the work under the corrosion warranty. Car is going in this weekend so will report back, but Jag forum members who have had the procedure have subsequently confirmed that the problem has never returned.
Happy hunting - you'll love it

) as my impressions from the first few weeks are that our replacement oil burner is silky smooth, obviously has tonnes more torque yet is still more frugal that our ex!
home tonight - the amount of torque available is ridiculous!
