Adoni, don't get me and my intention wrong. Having read Andrew's recent posts about the BMW and the end of his lease, combined with my conversation with Patpur last night at a small car meet (he's got a lease, but intends to buy in the end), it just occurred to me to see who intends to hold on to the XF and those who are in for the experience. I made the correlation with buying vs. leasing, and maybe that's not necessarily a good indication of intent of keeping the car.

There's no judgment intended with the question. In my case, as you noted, I was "buying in" (yes, i'm a little slow on that end) and took my time to find a car that I enjoyed and would be a keeper...hopefully.


Ben, sorry I missed that thread from 2004...didn't search sufficiently enough.
