Went to look at a Jag XK8 they had- assured it was perfect, etc. Slightly overpriced but not massively for a good specimen.

I insisted on a new MOT as the existing one had about 2 weeks to run. "No need, it'll fly through for you". I told them I wasn't buying without it so they duly MOTd it.

It needed about £2k spending to get through the MOT & put the major faults right and they flat out stated that this would be the buyer's problem rather than theirs. Obviously I walked away but got nagging phone calls about it and how it would be a bargain if I'd just bite the bullet & buy it.

Don't walk away from them; run.

Picking their name into Google probably brings up some good advice... and I am always wary of 5* reviews...

There was definitely a wiff from them when I Googled and its good to see that your comments have backed me up on this.
