The issue with a relatively large number of previous wonders, is mainly that they wouldn't have owned the car for very long.
Which raises two questions: Was there a reason why they got shot of the car so quickly? Did they know they weren't going to keep the car for long, and so potentially skimped on servicing and repairs?
Ultimately you buy on condition, so could be proven wrong, but a car with 7 previous owners will need to be properly scrutinized before you buy it.
And if you do buy it, be aware that when you will sell it the price you will get for it will reflect the number of previous owners (now 8), so make sure you are paying for it accordingly when buying it.
