Midway between San Francisco and Sacramento along Interstate 80 sits the Fairfield, California CarMax – a CarMax that in my humble opinion gets far too many unicorns. Too many because it is too far from me on the East Coast. Search my archives and you’ll find more than a few references to cars out in Fairfield – my favorite being this Jaguar XJ8 that made an epic journey of transfers over the course of a year from Florida to Fairfield. Today I was pleased to see two nearly identical 2012 Jaguar XF’s in Fairfield, one a naturally aspirated V-8 and the other a supercharged V-8. Only $4,000 and 90 horsepower separate the two. Given I’ve been writing ridiculously lengthy and infrequent blogs I’m keeping this one minimalist. Here’s the pix and some facts. Enjoy.
The 2012 Jaguar XF Supercharged sold originally for about $65,000. It sported a 5.0 liter supercharged (duh) V-8 and would hit 60 mph in under five seconds. It was positioned nicely between the regular V-8 below and the more aggressive XFR with 510 horsepower. It’s a handsome sedan with plenty of performance yet not overly aggressive. About a year and a half ago I last blogged about a 2013 Jaguar XF Supercharged here, and it was selling for about the same price. Can’t believe there was once a first year 2009 for only $14,998!
Here’s the link to this 2012 Jaguar XF Supercharged in Fairfield. It’s a one-owner, accident free car. Throw in MaxCare and you’re out the door in the low $30,000’s, with a fast, attractive sleeper.

If you want to save some money, be a little more conservative, and yet enjoy a lightweight British sedan with a decent V-8 motor, here’s a very nice 2012 Jaguar XF Portfolio. It sports a naturally aspirated 380 hp motor good for a mid-five second 0-60 mph sprint. Not break neck. Not embarrassing. It sold in the mid-$50,000 range when new 10 years ago and is now half-price.
I’m a fan of tan interiors and find this color scheme most attractive. This 2012 Jaguar XF Portfolio has a few less miles than the Supercharged above and the $4,000 savings would probably pay for MaxCare. It’s also a one-owner, accident free car. It’s also here in Fairfield, California. How much fun would it be to drive them both the same afternoon?
