Should I consider a used XK

Hello--I am a total newbie here and not all that familiar with Jags, other my childhood recollections to "stay away from British cars". However, the first car I fell in love with was the XKE that came out when I was a kid in the early 1960s.
I happened to be browsing on a car lot recently and saw what looked to be an immaculate 2001 XK8 Convertible. It had about 40000 miles and the asking price was about $26K. This seems like a good price but, like I said, I really don't know much about these cars other than I have always liked the way they look.
How is maintenance and reliability of these things, and does this look like a typical price for that vintage and mileage?
By the way, if this should be posted elsewhere on the forum, the moderator should feel free to move it.
Thanks,
Doug

The XKE was a car I loved as a kid, but they were less than stunning in the reliability and mantenence side. I think the XK8's are like any jaguar, they do require you to be on top of maintenence. Besides a nice north american v8 would be realy cool in an XK. Hmm...
