at getting an XK8/XK/XKR convertible.

Hi. I've joined the forum looking for info and advice from members on potentially purchasing an XK convertible.

I've been looking for a car with soul that sounds great and Ive never owned a v8!

I was initially looking at an X100, partly due to less eye watering tax, but am concerned about corrosion issues and other related problems and thought that the subsequent XK/XKR models may be less problematic

Im looking for a model that's potentially reliable and won't surprise me with huge maintenance costs whilst appreciating all cars have issues

I have read some buyers guides but any advice would be great!

I understand the 4.2 engines in the XK/XKR are pretty solid but have also read that the later 5.0 cars are better overall

It's hard to know what's best!

Thanks
