The 2012 Jaguar XF: before you buy

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Jaguar XF for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2012 Jaguar XF before you buy one anywhere.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Engine and fuel

The 5.0L 8-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Rated at 12.6 L/100 km combined, it needs around 38 litres for a 300 km round trip. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $22.05. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Space, size and seats

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA measures its luggage space at 510 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Rent it for a week first

Try the XF on your commute, then decide. Rent the XF first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the XF on your commute before you commit to it.

Choosing the right one

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

What it costs to run

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $220.50 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
