Pizzaguy, I have an 06 SE just like the one pictured...first there is a lever on the left side that you pull up and use your weight to swing fwd or back to raise or lower the seat...try it and see if this works for you... 2nd these are rims similar to the SRT but they are gray/charcoal shaded in between the spokes where the SRT are all aluminium (no paint). I have had my XF for over three years and still love to drive it as much as when i first got it...3rd even though it is not a limited it does have the same engine and you can go just as fast as in a limited....4th this particular model (SE) only came in blaze red and from another post there is a unconfirmed number that they only made 140 of this particular roadster; so it may end up being more unique in the long run.

here are some other XF roadsters with a stick at cars.com...enjoy your search: Used Cars for Sale: Listings Near 23238 - Cars.com
