218k less 8k? wasn't it in the newspaper last weekend 189k?

go for the diesel lah. diesel characteristic is perfect for our city driving. very good FC too. main minus is not good to put msia diesel regularly cos their diesel quality is crap. their best also has 10x the sulphur of our diesel.

Ya, no more 189K liao, the sales staff claimed that was only limited to 10 cars and were all snapped up.

Now 210K before nego...

They just started to bring in the xj 3.0d so I guess it will be a matter of time. I am driving the 2.2d and I must say its a nice car to drive. The torque is nice. Took it on a KL run and it was great, quiet and comfortable. Up and down with 46l of diesel around 900km. Still had about quarter tank when I got back.

SynAce · Member

Has anyone tested the 2.0 petrol version?

I was in a rush and have tested only the 2.2 diesel...a great car indeed.

Makapook · Guru

SynAce, please jio if you wanna test drive 2.0... Go together.

regular servicing for Jaguar diesel cars is at every 26K km or yearly, whichever comes first. So that alone is better than many other brands , savings on time and money.

despite the "official statement", i'm inclined to believe that european 26k and local 26k is of totally different. theirs consist of alot of long smooth driving, ours is alot of start stop, AND our weather's a killer here compared to theirs. our high humidity and near 365 days of temperatures >28-36degC will degrade and breakdown the oil pretty darn quick IMO.

chiaster · Guru

Jag diesel service interval is at every 24k (not 26k) or 1yr whichever comes first.

I didn't wait for mine to hit 24k to service... I did my 1st oil change and general servicing at 12k...

Yes, single exhaust is 2.2 Diesel. However there is still double exhaust diesel, which is the XFS 3L V6.

Hi all,

Have visited the showroom on Sunday (9 Jun) to test drive the XF 2.2D. Agree that the noise in cabin is almost inaudible, but quite noticeable while standing next to the car.

The latest price for it is $218,000, and the sales staff was willing to deduct 8K from the list price. The 2L petrol version is selling at 10K more...

Have also enquired about the leasing rates - $3,900 & $3,800 for 2 yrs & 3 yrs lease respectively.

Did not commit as I would like to monitor the COE trend down the road, still feeling the COE will be lower than current levels in months to come.

Does anyone here knows what is the latest retail price of XF 2.2? I booked mine at 218k on the Saturday that haze hit the highest PSI level, paid the deposit but can only collect my new cat at the end of aug.

strange .. i booked one last weekend, and was told I could get it end july (that's if they manage to get the COE for me tomorrow)

I booked a black with black leather seats one, SC said it is scheduled to arrive in SG on 17 Aug. did u got yours at the same price as me?

depends on color choice bro. :) if they have it ex-stock, then very fast, get COE, paperwork, 2-3 weeks can get car liao. if not, then gotta wait for shipment arrive.

zenkinz · Senior Member

ah.. forgot about that. in which case he must have gone for a unique color or indent some additional stuff that's not factory fitted, such as sunroof.. hehe.. or maybe we get to see a first wagon? I always like wagon.. would have got one if not for the indent and most critically the price

chiaster · Guru

XF wu sunroof as option meh??? I thought only XJ got...

kennethtancy · Senior Member

18in upgraded Lyra alloy rims with PZero tires 245/45/R18

derrickc · Veteran Member

Mine's due to the color availability. Rest of the items are stock. Interesting to note from the SC that my new cat was born only on 26 June 2013.

kennethtancy · Senior Member

well thats nice... built in june... drop on a ship and sailed here in 2-3weeks, plus ground processing time at the warehouse... you will a happy man soon.

when i got mine it had 17km on it.

derrickc · Veteran Member

Ya, I am having sleepless nights waiting to lay my hands on this new baby :)

Tintin in Sg · Member

Curiously, for those who are purchasing the new cats (post june), does your XF2.2d come as Standard Premium Luxury (i.e. OEM sound system like mine.

), or does it come with the Meridian sound system / GPS / all the bells and whistles?

I'm trying to see if they are throwing in all these add-ons, given the jump in price to $218K!

I'm not sure if I am getting a good deal, mine comes with the Meridian sound system but no satnav!!! No option to add on too no bells no whistles... Not sure if zenkinz has got a better deal than I did.
