So maybe Sly Fox can score this car for $3,000 - $3,500 and under those circumstances it would be a great buy. I mean, with what new and used cars cost these days if this XF runs for a year with no problems and then has a catastrophic failure (which I doubt will happen) it is still better than buying something that costs way more, is of lesser quality, with lower mileage and multiple owners and could have the same thing happen. If I were 21 right now and saw a 1 owner XF with 200K on the clock in great condition for $3,000 with clean Carfax and (maybe even maintenance records but that's a stretch) and everything was working I'd be all over it. But that is just me. Ya'll must forget what it was like to be 16-21 way back when with no $ but ya wanted something cool that at least ran and were willing to work on ALL the stuff that ya knew wasn't working when ya bought it!

Here's another high mile XF that looks pretty good with 187k on the clock in NY. I do notice there is no pic of the instrument panels with the car running but with research this one could be nice for the price too for HIGH MILEAGE that could go much, much higher if it has been maintained.
