Brilliant car and a credit to the previous owner! If only everyone took that much pride and care with their cars.
Only Jag owners apparently.
What for? It didn't help this poor sod. He went to all that trouble and expense just to be screwed over by a dealer on the trade-in price. Good for Matt though.
@@simonmiller5118 it’s up to the owner to find the best deal. No one forced him to sell it for £4500.
@@simonmiller5118 not exactly ‘screwed over’. This had a trade price of only £3800. £4500 was paid because of its condition and history.
@@HighPeakAutos Why was it traded in? I'd have kept it another year.
Just found this channel this week and I’m addicted already 😂
Thanks bro
Thanks!
You're in luck matey, there's a lot to binge watch on 👍🏾
😁
It's good init 😊
As a XF owner myself (who also keeps their receipts in a binder 😀) that video was a joy to watch 👋
I keep my service history in a binder too but am loathe to admit to it 😂
Same here, I think jag owners have a hive mind 😂
Binders ftw 😄
I keep my xj,s magna carta of history in a very fetching pink binder 😂
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.
👍
Super find about time you had an apple instead of the july pears 😊
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!
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?
@@davidphillips2151 lol bloody donny car salesman.
Get a good warranty, our 3 litre sport has had £1,500 worth of claims in first 12 months, 2 years left and still suffering limp home mode
@@davidphillips2151 Because you need to stop being a tight arse and simply buy a new Jaaaaaag when the gearbox packs up.
@@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...
Very stylish motor. I always like the end of the videos when the car in question goes from duckling to swan, but this was tidy to begin with - neatest car I've seen you pick up.
I've owned a 2013 XF since 2019. Beautiful inside and out, black with cream interior.
It so cool to see a car this well kept. It really shows that any car can be relieable if you take care of it
Yes, if only owners realised this. If you look after the car, do the things that have to be done, drive it properly, don't use cheap fuel, then it is a win - win for everyone.
yes but it will not forgive you if you got a bad day or just skip something.. unlike some brands that still get abuse and forget do still run fine.
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.
Finally, a premium brand with premium tyres
It had to happen sooner or later
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.
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.
Yes very true
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!
Nice, I just recently purchased the predecessor of this, the S-TYPE R. Which has made me watch videos on this XF and then yours popped up 🤔🤩.
Oh wow. Lovely car - enjoy
Probably the most well kept car I have seen on the channel. Kudos to the former owner!
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.
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 👍🏻
Always love when your buys work out much better than you expected. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
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.
Excellent result Matt and the buyer has a great video to keep and use when he sells his beautiful XF on.
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.
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 😁
I will definitely get my next car from you coming all the way from London worth every penny love your videos ❤️
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.
The subtitle with the time between shots is back, love it, keep it up
Another cracking video. Flawless content. Quickly becoming my favourite youtube channel 👏 👍
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.
So refreshing to see matching tyres from a brand I've heard of on your channel. What an excellent vehicle and owner.
I honestly think that if you present an older car with a quality set of tyres on it the MOT guy will fix the odd thing here & there to get you through.
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 ❤😊.
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.
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.
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! 👍🏼
Lovely to see someone has cared for their car like I would. A change from the skip's on wheels you often get Matt😊
Excellent video Matt, Thank You.
Watching this video made me proud of my jags car history/receipts binder 😂
Take the wins when you can!!
Well done on the Jag. Looked like a bit of a unicorn with that service history.
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
A nice result on a nice car. Like you, I always use a Jaguar specialist and he always treats my cars well
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.
Great result Matt and a stonking good car at that price. Double six roll of the dice, well done!
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...
They’re great aren’t they
@@HighPeakAutos Such a shame that the various ULEZ/CAZ zones now mean I won't ever be able to consider owning this shape again unless I miraculously find a nice example of the super rare R or 3.0 s/charged.
I’ve had two XF-S. first was re mapped over 300bhp!!! That was an absolute monster. Second was standard which was a bit more civilised.
@@PerryFred74 The last one I sold got written off by the new owner in less than a week! He'd come from driving a people carrier and couldn't manage the power I think. I was sick as the car was a minter, full Jag history, low miles, gearbox serviced, the works...
@@PerryFred74 I'm on my second XF S, current one is face lift. Can I ask why you got rid of the first XF S that was remapped? And did the remap cause any issues with the car? Thanks.
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...
Nice to see the SL getting a run out 😎 All the best people drive ‘em, you know.
Thanks for the closure!
Very happy for you, you deserve the occasional "easy win". Looking forward to the next one... Cheers!
Always love the closure
This is the one I've been bugging you about for about 2 years Matt!!!!!! Thank you!! 👊👊
No problem!!
Great to see you come out of a car on top for a change !! the previous owner of that xf really took good care of it!!!
Great result Matt.
Great vid as always Matt. I will be on the look out for a 3.0 XF Portfolio later in the year.
Great to see you out in the SL
An absolute brammer ! I hope the new owner cherishes it as much as the previous.
Another awesome captivating video mat , loving your channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Good vids all around this lad as not done a bad one yet that i can see.
Great stuff as ever Mr Goodwin. Always sensible advice. Hope your eye is ok?
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!
Love the videos . As i say . Good honest work .
Thanks 👍
This is my favourite rejuvenation of yours. This is a future classic that’s now ready for some use. Tiny profit but some consolation.
Great video matt. Really good looking car and you hit the jackpot with a well minded car.👍
Yet another great video... thanks Matt
Cracking car Matt! Thanks for the content.
Well you’ve definitely come up smelling of roses this time, nice one, someone who looks after a car like yourself and me, great to see 😃
Well deserved Mat. Congrats and on to the next one 👏 🙌 👌
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!
i was looking at a jaguar xfs as well so i needed the review, came in time coincidentally
Loved to see the twinkle in your eye due to it being a genuinely nice example! Glad you turned a healthy profit 👏
Lovely to see a car that has been looked after properly!
The rear lights are also why I love this car including the supercharged version 🫡
Cracking car, such a lot of motor for the price. Nice result Matt.
Kudos to the previous owner for clearly loving his car and treating it with respect.I salivated as soon as I saw it. One day, definitely one day I will own an XF just like that....I hope!!
Matt loving life with this one 😊
I’ve been eying up a petrol XF for months now, moving abroad and it’s something that I feel I’d love to have for a few months and can shift on over there for a few grand.
Lovely car and nice video fella.
Fantastic result, Matt!! If anyone deserves success, it's you. And I've made a decision to buy my next car from you. Why? Because I think you're a sound guy. And that IS high praise, coming from me.
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!
About time Matt!!
Always loved the shape.
It is still a magical wonder how this channel doesn't have more subs, definitely deserves it. Always quality vids
I appreciate that!
What a corking car, I do love the XF, nice to see the odds go in your favour for a change, keep up the good work 👍
Good video Matt...love car and think the estate is a good oozing car too.👍
Wow!! What a result. Makes you wonder why the previous owner sold it.
What a stunning car and what a good buy , good luck Matt 👍
Owned maybe 15 Jags/Daimlers but never one of these. Gonna save this video for my bath later!!!
great result Matt, great car too
another cheeky mid week vid, your spoiling us 😀
Love your videos. 😊 I’m a valeter and the garage I work at gets a bit excited buys A LOT of these XF’s etc..😜😂
About time you dropped on a good one!
Awww man I was thinking please don’t say it’s sold because if it wasn’t I was going to come down tomorrow and take it off your hands!
Another great video pal keep up the great work 👌
Well done !! 👏 and new owner getting a cracker !!
Lovely Motors, These... Nice to get a decent profit Matt, Great work.
Good to see the Mercedes came out today Matt..😎
Nice result with the Jag..
Lovely car great choice to keep the wheels grey the motor looks the dogs and the new owner will be pleased as punch well done matt service history and great maintenance is a joy hope the new owner keeps it up the car's worth every penny hes paid for it another great video matt 👍
Cracking result for a change
That’s really nice, glad you decided to stay with the gunmetal wheels. I’m in the market for an XFS although looking a Sportbrake Portfolio.
I've got one..and love it.can recommend
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.
Love these cars, I’ll get one one day. They look amazing in white. Thanks for the vid
A result straight away which makes a change, lovely motor too 😊
Excellent channel
I've just traded in my XF-S Portfolio. Only 71k, FSH and never wanted for anything. I really enjoyed owning it, and will definitely miss it!
Nice for you to get an easy victory on this one, Matt. Keep up the great videos.
I’ve watched every single one of matts videos and I don’t know how to stop
Haha thanks!
Simple answer !!! don't turn on your computer or laptop ( problem solved ) 😊😊😊😊
