As crap as the XF's were, there still is potential there.
90% of all XF's have already gone through the scrap yard already.
the other 9% would be high Km rust buckets which would leave just 1% as being in good original condition without massive Km's.
It is exactly this type of car that suddenly disappears, you cant buy a good example as everyone just junks them straight to the wreckers thinking there is an unlimited supply when infact there isnt.
Im not saying an XF is ever going to be worth a lot of money, i am saying that one day, whether it be another 20 years or another 60 years, if you have a nice clean example sitting in the shed, it will be a rare car and there will be people that are interested.
You only have to look back to the XB - the other high volume mass produced car.
look how quickly the majority of them disappeared to the wreckers and now the ones that remain in good condition are becoming more desirable and harder to find.
Even go back to the Model T - mass produced, worth nothing, but try finding one now in original condition................
