I believe the six was made for a few years - '94 to '97. In '98 we got the V8. The first couple years of the V8 were problematic due to the Nikasil cylinder liners - same problem that affected mid '90s V8 and V12 BMWs. Even though most say any car that's survived this long will probably never have a problem, I'd probably skip those years just to be sure. ;)
I spent a fair amount of time in a V8 XKR in the early 2000s, driving my drunk boss around. It's not a sporty car, but it's quick and comfortable and the styling still looks good (to my eye, anyway). X300 and X308 Jags are all dirt cheap these days - as are most super-high-end cars that normal used car buyers aren't interested in maintaining. I figure why not... you only live once! :)
