Default 2006 XK8 convertible

Should I have any buying concerns about rust /corrosion on a 2006 XK8 convertible driven mostly in Pennsylvania?

It depends if they salt the roads/streets in winter, and if the car has ever been out on said salted streets/roads. If you have salted roads and the car has been out on them, there's a good chance in the past 10 years you might have some rust damage.

Others who know more about your particular car will be better able to help you over in the XK8 section. Someone will be along shortly to direct you there.

Welcome to the forum Salu498,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow this link XK8 / XKR ( X100 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Look out for threads by UK member RaceDiagnostics. He's had more battles with XK8 rust than most. Here's an example:
