Title: No Jaguar XFR for Mr Opti this side of Christmas.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 23 December 2013, 10:47:04: I've just received another phone call from Jaguar customer service.

"We can only apologise Mr Opti, but we are finding it extremely difficult to source an XFR for a 24 hour test drive. However, we do have an XF 2.2 diesel that you can try out. :-[ ???

Shhheessshh........ I may as well test drive an Omega diesel. :( :( :(

He did offer me a test drive in an untaxed 09 XFR with trade plates, but only for an hour or so....and it's not quite the same as having the car all to yourself for 24 hours. :-\

Santa is dead. :'(

No wonder BMW's and Mercs are everywhere! Why should Jaguar find it so difficult to find a test car for an important potential customer?

It makes me wonder. Now who owns Jaguar? ::) ::) ::)

I'll wager that Lexus customer service would find me the car I wanted, Lizzie.

.....and why promote a 24 hour test drive if you can't deliver what the (potential) customer wants?. :(

Indeed, and they should hold their heads in shame! :( :(

By the way I love Jaguars and their latest models so I can appreciate why you want a test drive / own one! :D :D :y :y

Post by: cem_devecioglu on 23 December 2013, 14:44:25: as I said , here you would be lucky to have a test drive just for 10 minutes.. let alone an hour ;D

but of course if you are member of the "SHOE BOX PARTY" may well have the car for longer ;D ;D ;D
