Thought I wrote about this unicorn – the first year Jaguar offered 420hp supercharged V-8 engines in the XF line – but I suspect it was a car that was gone as fast as it was listed. It returned recently and yesterday dropped $1,000 to a bargain price of $14,998. The car sold for over $60,000 new. It’s fairly well appointed with heating and cooling seats, heated steering wheel, blind spot monitor, rear view camera, 20″ wheels, and Bluetooth.
Was pleasantly surprised by this Car and Driver review that gave the car kudos for a decent ride on high performance tires, .87g on the skidpad, and a five second 0-60mph run. CarMax has about 11,000 cars under $15,000 and under my self imposed mileage cap of 60,000 miles, but this is the one I’d pick as a daily driver.
Of course, by the time you add MaxCare, and I wouldn’t own it without the warranty, and taxes, it would be a $20,000 car. Find this one owner car here in Salt Lake City, Utah. 
HONORABLE MENTION!
THESE WOULDN’T HURT MY HEAD IF I HAD TO DRIVE THEM.
Tons of horsepower for the money! Not to mention the refinement of a jag. Good choice. Something to pick up on a trip to Park City for sure!
Several years ago I leased a 2011 BMW 335i–this was back before I realized that leases were for suckers and CarMax was the way to drive fun cars for less! Anyway, the 335i was a fun little sedan, but to this day I still regret not getting the 335d instead. All the practicality and performance of the 335i *AND* 36 MPG? Yes, please!
Unfortunately, the missus hates the 3-series and forbade me even looking at anything other than the gigantic 7-series for any future purchases, so I probably missed my window of opportunity. C’est la vie!
Hey Scott. I once had a 2001 330CiC (convertible). Loved it. Only 235hp and always wondered how BMW wrung so much performance out of so little horsepower!
