I forgot to add the link to the thread on this forum itself, see the below. I also happen to know someone whose evoque is waiting for spares for nearly 2 months.

That is in the UK. Imported used parts is not easy. You will have a long wait for parts. Service items excepted

So according to you should one indulge in a 2016 used xf, 68k done?

Yes, but if the home market doesn't have enough parts to go around, what will be the situation in regions with miniscule sales? Like I said, the evoque owner I happen to know had been waiting for a month last month. Replacement parts are absolutely necessary when you're buying used, I can't imagine buying a 2016 jag to fix up with used parts or not having parts available.

My suggestion to kslives is to get the car checked out, see if spares are available and go ahead, if, getting the car on road isn't a problem.

It all narrows down to how the car was owned, I have been blessed to own something from all these marques sans Audi and I can tell you my XF was the most reliable apart from the BMWs with no fancy tantrums despite running a stage 2 Map and full carless exhaust, just routine maintenance and I part ways today at almost 50,000 kms and 6 years later. But that said I know of endless stories of disasterly maintained JLRs with similar kms on the odo so with any car these days it's a hit or a miss and most importantly how the previous owner maintained it. If I may ask, how much are you being quoted?
