no link cos I wanna keep it all to myself..mwahhh ha ha ha

Given the level and budget of S8 that you're looking for, I wouldn't let that put you off, in terms of ease of fixing.

Far more important - which you may already have checked out - would be the gearbox service history, and subframe and suspension condition, to name but three key areas.
