Although i have already put a deposit down on the 2012/2013 FF , starting to get itchy feet about getting a new car sooner , as i drive about and see all the new cars , the new car bug is getting to me .....

Don't know if i can wait another year and a half or longer .........

Why don't you get a 2011 FFRR now and trade it in later, you won't loose that much in only a year

If you're wanting a new car Mick, get a new car. Simples. Got anything specific in mind?

Nothing specific i can think of Royle , maybe i should stop buying Auto Express and other car mags and stop annoying myself

Hold on for the new one MICK, we need you to tell us all the bits that drop off in the first six months.

Then others can decide if it's worth it, or best to buy second hand when all the faults have been corrected.

Joking aside, the facelifted XF is coming out shortly... and vehiles built in the Jag factory (incl. FL2) are much better screwed together apparently.

The wife has the XF although it's a year old now , so don't really want two of them ...plus she is quite keen on the new one after showing her it on auto express

Seen a really nice D4 in white with all the bits on PH's website, plus a Merc GL , along with a BMW X6 , and an Audi Q7 , and a .....

If you buy the X6, you'll look like a cock.
Others are OK though, but I found the D4 interior felt cramped after the FFRR.

X6 not much in the running as i need at least a 5 seater to 7 seater as i do the school run in the mornings and the hockey after school pick ups ....

Oh that's easy, you can pick a decent minibus up for 10k and you'll even be able to go down the bus lanes.

Can't think of anyone selling them .....
