I bought my XF in Nov of '07. Basically drove it home and stored it for the winter. I have an 04 coupe with 7000 miles! Just had it out for the first time this week and drove around town and then today, I took a 200 mile trip. Everything seems to be fine, the car is like new! One thing I noticed is a rattle noise when the car is running, sitting idle in nuetral, clutch out. Press the clutch in, noise goes away. I did a search here on the forum for "clutch noise" and found a thread that stated it may be the "throw out bearing" but not to worry, should cause no harm?? I'm hoping this the case.... Sometimes I get reading the horror stories some fellow XF owners are having, but I guess that happens with all makes and models!!Other than that, I'm loving the car so far.
