Seller says no time for a full inspection, is a quick check enough?

Found an XF in Al Manara that ticks most of my boxes and the price seems fair, maybe even a little too fair which is what’s making me hesitate. The seller is a busy guy and keeps saying he doesn’t have time for a long drawn out inspection process, he’d rather just get it done and sold. I get that, but I’m not about to buy a Jag blind either. So I’m wondering if a quick Jaguar condition check before buying in Al Manara is actually a sensible middle ground or if I’m just fooling myself and should insist on the full thing. Part of me thinks even a shorter check would catch the obvious stuff like warning lights, leaks, and any accident repair, which is more than I’d get from just eyeballing it in a parking lot. Anyone been in this spot where the seller was pushing back on time? Did you compromise or just walk away?
