Different areas have different markets, but as someone who has obsessively looked at them over the last year I think this is a fair deal. Not a great one, but one of those may not come as soon as you like. The miles are pretty low so the car has been sitting quite a bit over the last 6 years but I've never seen evidence that this hurt the XF. Best of all you will drive it nice and long.

You might not like negotiating like a hard ***, but if you do you can get another $500 off that price pretty easy. Tell them parts are becoming harder to find, the product is discontinued and was outsourced by Mercedes, blah blah and that they typically don't sell very quickly as they know based on how long they have had it. It has been on their lot for over 60 days which means it is tying up inventory cash of short term financing they need to churn. Tell them you know how hard it is for them to sell and that airfare costs more than you expected.

I guarantee you they really want to get this car off their hands, not because it isn't awesome but because they can be hard to sell.

Mine spent it's first 3 years in Michigan as a Chrysler self-leased vehicle. I don't see any rust on mine but the engine does have a splotchy pattern from the salt which is typical of the metal type and not a problem. If you don't beat them up more on the price, at least ask for an oil change and tell them you want to see them pour the Mobil 1 in before you go. It would be a shame if they put some crappy standard oil in it and you didn't know before a long drive.

Go. Fight. Win.

Or maybe I put too much effort into my purchases.

The Carfax looks good on this one too, but don't get too emotionally attached. If this one doesn't work you can get another that you will love just as much

I've had mine a month and I love it.
