I just knew I shouldn't talk cars with an Uncle Sam Lander …

... It only highlights the huge price differential.

Yeah, you'd probably take a bath on flogging (or getting out of the lease) the two year old car with low miles on it. You really need your car to be properly structured into your business tax plans if you are going to turn them over every two years.

I just had a quick squizz so I will give you some rough comparisons which highlight how much we pay compared to you guys.

The cheapest four cylinder XF Jag here is about {$75K Au/$60K USD} drive away. The speced-up six cylinder portfolio XF is about {$122K Au/$98K USD} drive away.

The top of the line XF before you add some goodies is about {$235K Au/$189K USD}

If you think the above is bad enough a 2015 S500/550 Mercedes will make your eyes water.

Here they start at about {$305K Au/$245K USD} drive away versus a starting drive away price in Uncle Sam Land of $95K USD


Ok, other than all that waffle, *if* you go down the XF path I think you will enjoy the Jaguar. It is a really nice car, drives well, it is well appointed in a classy understated manner and relatively trouble free.

Oh, don't start me on grog!

Cheers mate.
