Tag: Jaguar XF S

Wagons are making a bit of a comeback (even Buick’s selling one) so pleased to see this pretty 2018 Jaguar XF S First Edition unicorn available at CarMax.  But thanks to reader and avid car guy Mustafa Gardezi I learned that only 20 – count ’em 20 – of these First Editions were imported to the US painted in “Farallon Black” – a metallic paint with red and blue flakes normally reserved for Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO personalization cars.  Fairly rare, old chap! The CarMax photographer captured it not at all.

The 2018 XF S Sportbrake sported a supercharged 3.0 liter six cylinder good for 380 hp and a 0-60 mph in five seconds.  The low mileage car (5,000!) is well equipped with auto cruise control, adaptive dampers, AWD, and hideous (to me) red and black interior.  Ironic the last car I blogged about was this 2015 Lexus LS460 F-Sport Crafted Line – also with red and black seats.  Somebody likes them.  This 2018 Jaguar XF S First Edition sold for maybe $85,000 new two years ago and is now $48,998 – over 40% less.  It’s a one owner, no accident car with plenty of miles and years under manufacturer warranty – you might not even need to splurge on MaxCare protection?  Find it here in Houston, Texas.
