Buying a new Jaguar - should I go for new or used?

I am considering buying a Jaguar and have about £30,000 to spend. However, I can’t decide on which model (new or used) to buy. Which would you recommend a new XF or a used XJ?

If you can find an XJL 3.0D for £30k, you will feel like you are on cloud 9. An XF is more sporty. An XJ is more feelgood. And the mpg on a run is incredible. Over 40mpg for both.

Wonderful and bespoke feeling interior. Amazingly quiet and refined. More economical 2.2 diesel from 2011. Navigation not fitted as standard on most models.
A characterful alternative to the go-to German luxury saloons and far more engaging to drive. Diesel offers low emissions and tax but is very strong. Excellent overall refinement.
