anyone dealt with them, has it got any better?

Dave_YD

Im not sure about fords they have their, but i went to look for a civic ek9 there and they were all shite! a lot of accident damage, clocks had obviosly been wound back, engines tappin their tits off...generally wank! I would never buy owt from them.

XRdodgybird

Wouldn't trust em with a barge pole..... honestly.

Go look there by all means... get a good idea of what you are looking for and then go find one elsewhere.... best bit of advice you'll ever get..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BlueSmoke

Don't do it! The cars are bloody awful. Do a search on them on Scoobynet.

Just out of interest, does anybody know if Torque of Keighley are anything to do with them??

wirralphil

what he says

we know a couple from Keithley, when we went to visit them we seen the trade centre in question, all the cars were dogs, Fmic missing off the Sunny GTIR's, shit servicing, all shady asian's (no offence to asian people bt they fooked me off with some of their questions, will knock 1k off for cash on a 3k Sunny GTIR)

Rumours that when a car is bought it could be robbed back off you and sold on?

Alps Pacino

naughty naughty very naughty

Stavros

wouldnt buy shit from there unless you really know what you looking at, or lucky as fuck. ive seen the odd accidental bargain from there, but all needed some work to make them right.
most are shite.

what do you mean? they dont come with FMICs unless they have had been converted.

wirralphil

will edit post mate

wirralphil

meaning they were advertised with front mounts and when we looked at the ones in question they were the std top mounts.

I think what he means is they had once had 1 and still should but now they just have the pipe work going to nothing lol

so they have a good reputation then

twoblacklines

rumors are always around, but i found on a respected forum by a respected member about a year ago, that they are a gang (ie mafia) and its a front for money laundering, and when you buy a car from there it mysteriously gets professionally stolen a few weeks later....be warned.

kenny ken

I've heard that they're the same company.

danneth

still the same then

john

A friend of mine has just sucesfully taken them to court. They sold him a well bodged GT4, by that i mean things what made the car a death trap covered up very well so to the untrained eye it looked ok. After him only driving it twice and being told it was unroad worthy he took it back and they told him to bollox.

He took action and they tried to fight it even though he had 2 professinal reports saying it was not fit for the road. On the second trip to court there representive offered him an ot of court settlement.

RickyLee53

Sounds like they've improved a bit then.

FASTdan

torque of keighley are the same company - or at least involved in some way.

I live nearby and I've seen cars stickered up advertising torque of keighley one week, and then a few weeks later for sale at Kly trade.

Heard too many bad things about them and seen there premises open/close/move/rename too many times!

A12DY B

steer clear by the sounds of it,

i remember something about an rs2000/cosworth from there being dubious

James-W

your not wrong about the money laundering! you are about the stealing cars though
there are alot more business' than you think involved in money laundering, some youd never ever guess.
ebay is prime place aswel! phones are favourite!


unless you proper expect the car with a fine toothcombe, and properly know what your on about, dont buy from keighley!

dojj

sounds like a right friendly bunch then

The worst place you can get the car from. Theose "people" are crooks, thiefs . If you check on Google you will see that many people have bee cheated. Me and other people are organizing a protest group about Keighley Trade Centre http://keighley-trade-centre.co.uk/. Just don't do it

Old thread.I went there years ago and the cars were all donkeys.

cossiestu

Can't belive this post has surfaced out of the blue!? It was only this morning I rang them (or at least I think it was.) enquiring about a car they had....
Seemed too good to be true!
Don't think ill bother now!!!

Ian Kal

Yes mate avoid them, just make a quick check on Google before buying from anyone. I made the mistake not to check and I have been SHAFTED. I am happy I saved you, please spread the word.....have a look here too , I am doing this http://keighley-trade-centre.co.uk/

Very lucky I was looking at the FRS at
Keighley Trade Sports & Performance

Seems they are the same guys running it as well after reading the links you guys have added in this thread, Thank you.

Ian Kal

I should get a commission for every soul that I save , in a few months I could get the 2000 pounds that I need to fix the car hahah

I was already wary of the car, Its had the radio pulled out and they have had it on auto trader for at least 10 months, but good to know I wasn't just being paranoid lol

I pass the place everyday, they have another place round the corner opposite macdonalds

booner999

They had a escort cosworth with a xr3 logbook and said nothing.

I know almost all forums give them bad press but they are still in business. If they were really as bad how can this be?

Because not everyone goes on a forum mate. Went with a mate a few years back to look at a Scooby he was after, whole day wasted

Everything they sell looks awesome on their pics but then again most things do under strip lighting until you actually get there.

JOHNDQ

These guys have a shit rep on the Evo forums, but I wanted a EvoIX GT in black and they have one they brought over from jap land. Everyone said no don't waste your time but I went on a 4 hour drive anyway. Glad I did was the best one id ever seen unmarked with super low miles, never had a single problem in any form it's now had 2 more owners and it still hasn't had any faults what so ever! If you know what your looking for you should be fine you can always spot paint work etc. It was last for sale a mouth or so ago on MLR and sold straight away for 16k

Ian Kal

You have been lucky mate...hope your car will last 2 weeks

JOHNDQ

That was 3 years ago since i brought and sold it

zetecbeast

steer well clear. I've never heard anything other than they are a nightmare.
I went there years ago to look at a few supras and they were complete and utter dogs.
Avoid them like the plague...
