It comes down to one question. Is your XF a tool/toy or an investment?

At these prices I say get one to mod/ drive the wheels off, and put one back for a spare/investment.

74k units is not a lot, but plenty for us who love them. If there weren't enough the prices would be much higher. I Think the supply of SLKs actually helps us in several ways. Gives the image conscious buyer somewhere else to go. And keeps spare parts plentiful cheap for us.
