I'm looking for a XF too, but the deals on the '06 models are really enticing. My only problem is that I can't seem to find a deal locally (Northern California). I'm checking with a dealer 2 hours away, but the best prices seem to coming from well across the country.

I was just quoted $18,800 for a new, 2006 black base XF. Shipping is $1,500 door-to-door. I can't help but think I can get a better deal than that. Is there something better out there?
