New Member - 1st time XF owner
I purchased a 2005 XF Coupe this past Saturday. It's the base model 6 speed black. I paid $9500. It has 48k miles and the tires are fairly new. I drove it home from Missouri and got about 29 mpg. My previous ride (now my son's) was a 2007 Scion tc.
I have been lurking here for the past two weeks, while considering this purchase. The XF is super-fun to drive, and I'm already getting the perma-grin.

I've been watching for a Base model for some time now. Just haven't found the right one yet. These things are like "Lays" potato chips, nobody's satisfied with just one.

Re: New Member - 1st time XF owner
I've had mine almost 3 years with only the relay control module as a problem. A quick solder job ( by Tighed1) and problem was solved. I've had more problems with other cars in less time so I'm satisfied. Wait till you get it on the racetrack like we did this June, satisfaction increases greatly even though I'm not good at it. Welcome to the forum.

Great buy! I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, and thought I had found a good deal on a Black base model, automatic, (with twice as many miles on it) for $10K. I go to pick it up this Friday, and drive it from Hilo to Kona where I live (about a 2 hour drive). Slim pickin's on the Island, looks like you got a great deal! Have fun!
