While looking at a 1998 XK8, the car turned over just fine from cold but
would not start. The salesman hooked the battery up to a jumper box,
cranked the car again hooked up to the box, and it fired right up. He
said
they had just run the car a day before, so I don't think it had been
sitting
for long unstarted. I had read engines with nikasil problems failed to
start from cold, so I was curious, but obviously a jumper box isn't going
to
restore compression but I just wanted to make sure. The car has 75000
miles, should I be scared to buy it in fear that it could develop a
problem
down the road?
