Personally, I think 2003 and 2004 is the "sweet spot." My 2003 has been pretty much trouble-free, except for the well known short list of small, easily (mostly) repaired issues that plague all XK8s. I hope you live in a state that will allow you to remove that front-plate-mounting bracket. It does nothing for the otherwise killer classic front end.
I just notices the other day that my local craigslist has all 97-2002 XK's on it. It is as if folks with 03 or newer keep them because they are holding up better???
