Since it has been decided that black is the fastest color, I went e-shopping.
I found this:

I can do plenty of thing mechanical, and revert to the manual when I get stumped, or find a few extra stray parts. But, I do know I have limits.
What should I be looking for specifically with this ride? I did go over it top an'bottom, in and out, with a flash light, and couldn't see anything obvious. Everything works, started right away, still smelled good even though the cig lighter is used. When pushing the corners to see if the shocks work, the left rear suspension squeaked. I'm guessing it's from lack of use, but maybe y'all know more?
The "drive off the lot" price is $17000. No warranty, but that's fine, I have plans
The salesman said that I did the most looking and poking any buyer has done, ever. He even offered to let me put it on the lift and poke around. I'll take him up on that offer when I go back to drive it.
I want it, but let me know what I should be aware of, please. This is not the first XF I have taken a look at, but it is the best cosmetic one I have seen in my area.
