Thanks Deepsea21,
I have a test drive in the morning, so I'll have a better feel for the car regarding performance and the tranny (06 vert w/ 35K miles).
Are the XF's not very reliable? I've read a few of the common bugs.... but I thought these were fairly reliable, for a 16 year old car
.
I'm a Porsche guy at heart... but I just can't justify the $$'s any more for a toy (still regret not buying a 911 cab 6 yrs ago for 19k).

I know the car critics and writers love the Miata, but I just can't see myself in one.

Cheers
