Default Junction 28!

Just thought I'd let everyone know not to bother waisting there time going to view the N reg Imperial Blue EsCos priced at £16495 that Junction 28 have got up for sale at the moment! After first enquiring about this car on the phone and stressing to them that I would be travelling a fair way to see it, they assured me that it was an immaculate example and that I wouldn't be disappointed on arrival! How wrong could they be?? It must have then I'm assuming, skipped there mind to tell me before I set out on my 2 hours each way trip that all four wheel arches needed attention due to rust?? I'm not being a little picky here either, especially when you take into account what sort of money they're asking for it! It would need a good few hundred quid spending on it just to get it looking tidy again! Anyway I've had my moan, so thanks for nothing Jct28!!

I found one for sale there, it was an Imperial Blue one, Motorsport with a sunroof, 31,000 'genuine' miles priced at £13,995!

Thought it was cheap, are they notorious for abit of bullshit then?

See my post in this section mate!

Certainly in this case yeah 'Junkyard' seems an appropriate title! But not just that, they completely waisted my time and fuel money by telling me that it was an immaculate example!!!!- Did they just think that I'd hand the cash over when I arrived without even having a look round the car first??!!

Check this one out...you won't be dissapointed

Mileage is a touch higher than most, but the car is won't dissapoint or let you down.

Sorry about the shameless plug

My rsturbo was purchased from there a good few years ago with around 30,000 miles on the clock with full service history etc, now i didnt buy the car from there but a friend did, which i then bought it off him, its been perfect, never had any trouble with it, altho i think he did pay about £5000 for the car.

They always advertise them as "Motorsport" models when 99.9999999% of the ones they've had in there have leather and a sun roof!!! FFS!

I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT A ESCORT COS FROM JCT28 AND TOUCH WOOD IT SEEMS 2 B A REALLY NICE CAR, HOWEVER WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK IT NEEDED A NEW STARTER MOTOR WHICH WE HAD FITTED LOCALLY, AS WE ARE OVER 3 HRS FROM JCT28, THEY FULLY REIMBURSED US FOR THE COST. I ALSO HAD A SAPPHIRE COS FROM THEM WHICH I HAD FOR OVER 6YRS WITH NO PROBLEMS. BUYING COSSIES IS LUCK OF THE DRAW .
