abtin90 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Evening all, My boss at work was after a new car for work and we came across a nice Jaguar XF on autotrader which was a bargain price and when we viewed the car it was as described albeit the tyres are worn heavily, and an engine light for restricted performance came on at one point. However given the price we considered the fact that it would need another £1000 spent anyway which was factored in. Now the worrying part is the seller. He claims to be a trader dealing in high end cars which includes Ferrari’s etc. Now he was in High Wycombe and when we got there he claimed to be a property developer and told an elaborate story about owning various properties there. Having downloaded office copies for the title register he clearly owns nothing there. In addition the logbook isn’t in his name and it’s not signed by the registered keeper.Should this be a concern? Would the fact that nothing he says adds up be a concern? Also the address on his licence does not match that of where he’s living? Just want peoples view on whether buying the car is too big of a risk or whether the above points are irrelevant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My business partner has just got on on a 64 plate and is having some trouble with it. Went into limp mode and threw up loads of lights on the dash. RAC got him going but he hasn't had it looked at by Jag yet. Either way, I would worry about a car that has technical issues like that, especially on the test drive. H.

Everything functioned too. It just had a yellow light come on for restricted performance and then would go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Also what’s the issue with it being in High Wycombe? Its a hot bed of shady car sales, from 'those sort of people' Like Bradford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
