I always feel uneasy about a car when it turns out it's being sold just a few months after acquisition, with a new paint job, for much more than was paid for it. Same thing happened with the ex-Nigel Wilkinson car recently - went from Nigel's wife, to an owner in Cheshire, then very shortly to Belgium, then a couple of month later it's up for sale with a new Alitalia livery for a massive mark-up. So what's to be inferred from that sort of activity? Is it a bad car with something fundamentally wrong? Does the new owner just not get along with it? Or is it an attempt at turning a quick profit?
Makes the old alarm bells ring....especially when claims such as the above are made. Stu, I think you've had a lucky escape!
