Jaguar XF

The Jaguar XF replaced the retro-styled S-Type in 2008, introducing a sleek, modern design language under Ian Callum. It signaled a new era for Jaguar, combining luxury with a sportier character to compete directly with German executive sedans. Initially offered with V6 and V8 engines, the lineup grew to include diesel options, all-wheel drive, and a Sportbrake wagon body style, with a second generation launching in 2015.

Collectors focus on the high-performance variants, particularly the XFR and the limited-production XFR-S. The XFR's 5.0L supercharged V8 delivered 510 hp, while the XFR-S upped that to 550 hp, making it a serious contender against the BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG. These models offer a compelling blend of British luxury and raw performance, and the rare Sportbrake versions have a dedicated following.

With an average sale price under $20,000, the XF market is dominated by depreciated standard models, making them an excellent value. The wide price spread reflects the significant gap between high-mileage base cars and low-mileage, well-maintained performance models like the XFR-S, which command the highest values. For enthusiasts, the V8-powered cars represent a performance bargain.

Prices range from $999 for early, high-mileage cars to $59,616 for well-preserved, high-performance examples.
