I have on a couple of occasions, mainly through ebay, no money exchanged hands until in person and I made sure the car started at least but otherwise went on word of seller. One car a BMW E30 touring was such a steal I just "Bought it Now" and collected next day - turned out to be a very good car indeed! |

well I should be picking the FF up this Wednesday, if all goes to plan, I will report my findings then, but so far I can only prase the dealer at the moment for getting the FF right and not let it leave with a faults that will bite them back later on.

I had this ready on hand, http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post189410.html#189410 and I didn't even have to ask as the dealer went through every little detail, right down to some of the smallest marks I have ever seen!

Judging by my experience at local LR dealer when I went to have a look at the new sport today I think you are probably best dealing with them over the phone!
