There are lots of them available with 125K to 150K + miles on them.

My 96 Jag VP. Purchased with 74,000 miles in April 2014. Now 76,000 miles. Third owner. Only drive Fri, Sat and Sun. Hope to keep it for a long time.

Mine had 143,000. Just added 5,000 since I bought it at the end of February. I hope to keep it for at least a couple of years and am not worried about keeping the mileage down. I saw several offered with 180 to over 230,000.

I bought mine 12 years ago with 65,000 miles on it. Now it has 140,000 miles. It is pretty much a daily driver except when good top down weather is here then the XK8 gets used as a daily driver.

They will have to bury me in the X300.

Not high mileage, but still relatively trouble free. Certainly nothing major (knocking on wood)

Bought mine with about 42k miles, now after almost exactly 2 years at about 73k as I recall. Daily driver.

150,000

Current car, the comprehensive service history sold it to me.

Would I recommend such a high mileage ???

A certain amount of naiveté:
the clock was dead (but now revived), the steering rack died later, rear exhaust boxes perforated on the top (most stupid miss), bit of rust on the sills, radiator mounts, rear bumper mounts.

After replacing the springs and shocks it goes round a roundabout pretty well - not strictly necessary but added to the fun.

I will say that even after 150,000 miles the engine revs enthusiastically and feels good for a long while yet.

I'm pushing 183k with mine; bought it around 179k or so. It's seen some abuse but it took to reconditioning very well.

I'm seeing not so cheap but good looking x300s with 210k+ for sale quite often here. They're usually from Netherlands, which is country with unbelievably good roads and easy going traffic. Never driven one thou. Mine's got 74k on the clock
