I bought mine as it was a 1 owner plus garage, car and the bodywork was the best I had looked at, unfortunatly I had it 9 days and the bottom end blew! when we stripped it we found the oil pickup blocked, FSH is no gurantee and so I would definatly consider the type of Cos you mentioned above, but then again my m8 fixes mine for free! Cost of rebuild, around a grand.
