Not kidding. I've been in one that had 168,000 Miles on it. The full maintenance history on that car over 17 years wasn't bad, mostly wear items that wear or deteriorate in any other car. The convertible top can be a bit of trouble, and automatic transmissions failing can be a royal pain, but I think that is true of any other car you'd look at to. I've put 14K Miles on XK since last October, nothing but a burnt tail light, and filter/fluid changes. I'm at 62K miles.
With your mechanical aptitude, you should be able to find a good one that won't be problematic.
So I thought I'd put it out there, your own tastes might vary.
As DD said above, you can keep an eye on craiglist, if you do like the idea of the XK8, it doesn't hurt to check your listings.
