My name is Gaynor........
Discussion
The type of ad's I really don't like (any will skip, even if the car looks ok in the pics!) is this type:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-JAGUAR-XK8-CONVERTI...
Come On! £7000 car and you can't even be bothered to write two lines describing it? Really?

I quite fancy Gaynor, especially after that bit about the negative feedback. I wonder what she's like?
Nice lady, good at what she does. I trekked up there to view a 9-5 a couple of years ago - didn't buy as the car wasn't quite right. She's clearly doing well - selling at least a couple of cars a week, it seems judging by her feedback number now vs then.
ETA
That negative feedback statement is familiar - it was on there when I looked at the car.

2.8 + Turbo and only 230bhp - WTF
I'm always assumed they were more powerful than that, Saab's old 2.3T made more power than that.Does the Vectra XVR have more than that? Is this a de-tuned version of this engine?

I think the caravan and white vans in the background would put me off more than the lack of detail in the advert....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-JAGUAR-XK8-CONVERTI...

Formatting isn't great but it reads as a completely honest account of the car and covers pretty much everything anyone would ever want to know which is great imo, good on her.
It looks tidy enough, but she describes the interior as "without any obvious signs of wear at all, looks like it's only done 40k" and the driver's seat bolster and armrest are completely shagged, worst leather sag I've seen for a long time.So how much it drives "absolutely 100% with no noise or rattle or squeak" etc, I'm not quite sure.
Saying the condition is "100% absolutely superb you won't find better for the age and mileage and price.." also sets a load of alarm bells ringing too. Reads just like one of those that says "mint condition" then anything you find wrong is you being picky and you should expect no better for a car that's a WHOPPING seven years old..

My thoughts exactly! Additionaly they do have a Cam chain, but these have been having some issues with stretching.
I thought it was just another OTT ebay add up until the ‘My name is Gaynor’ bit which really cracked me up. I’ve got a 3.2 V6 Elite bought for £930 12 months ago. I think the 3.2 V6 makes about 220 bhp, it neither glacial or quick but pulls well for overtaking. I’d have the V6 turbo for it’s tunability as 300 bhp with the breathing freed up would be quite nice.
