These might tidy up if just starting to rust and give a decent car for the price but if they've been bodged with a quick filler job then flash sprayed to make it look good it could be a heap this time next year. The main place to check condition in underneath. If it's reasonably good then price doesn't sound out of the way.

Nah. It's only a 2.8... Spend a bit more on a good two litre car.

A fairly good two litre is obtainable for £3000, people are realising they don't need to put up with a 2.8i anymore, a more performance orientated 4 cylinder car is obtainable if you shop around.
