Default thinking about buying a xj8 2005-2008, comments? help!

hello gents, i'm thinking about buying a 2005 to 2007 xj8, or is the 2008 much different? 2005 to 2007 are decently priced. what do you guys think? the ones i have seen all have 50-80k miles. after reading several post, i realized they have suspension issues. can you guys give me some tips what to look out for and be worried about??

thanks

Read the sticky, and I do believe anything built after 2006/7 is going to be ultra reliable.
