they have few cossies in at the mo!!! just wondering if they are any good?

any one purchased from there before?

thinking of popping up there

some people may have a different opinion but me personally wouldnt touch them with a barge pole

 

They had a bit of a reputation not so long a go,but as long as you know what you are looking for and how to spot "a bad un"you should be ok.
He does seem a little over priced sometimes and some of the cars he has, havent been the best for the money he wants.

If he had offered me £500 more on the PX i had i would have had a cossie of him,but he wouldnt do it.

 

No personal experience with J28, but it seems there is threads started on here all the time about them and how bad some of the cars are for the money they want.

 

I myself have never had any dealing with them however as stated i have read several posts/topics where the comments have not been to kind towards them.

 

Someone I know bought an Esc Cos from Junkyard 28, not the place you want to go unless you know what you're looking at.

 

Ok cheers for the comments, i will have pop over there tomorrow and ill let you know what i think.

i will feel bit weird checking them all out comparing them they might think im bit dodgy

carl

 

why would they?

 

surely you go there to look at 1 in particular no?

 

Stevie Wonder went over to junkyard 28 the other day and said they all look mint

 

I have never read or heard a nice thing said about them, they also seem to miraculosly find all these low milage cars

Check the RSOC board, there is a thread about how crap junct 28 is.

 

long way to go to look at the junkyard,are their no interesting car dismantlers nearer to you?

 

Just up this way for the weekend and its only 25 miles away thought id take look. I know nice one when i see one so ill report back tomorrow night on my findings


carl

 

I can point you in the direction of a scrap yard around the area,quality of cars are the same but at least theres a good burger van outside

 

a mate bought an escort cossie there a good few years back, it was a very nice car, but very very pricey

 

went over two weeks ago. Not sure what cars your intrested in but the imperial blue ecos is covered in chips away stile blow ins yet he wants absoulte top dollar, the silver saph 4x4 has fish eyes in the paint on the c pillars and around the roof, the "mint" low mile s2 that he wants 8k for is dog toss, again had plenty of paint and not in nice condition (especially when FUS was for sale at 7.5k the last time I checked, which is a nigh on perfect s2), the rs500 seemed ok but at 20k or near abouts you wouldnt want okay, the evos are all rough as arseholes, the coffee machine is in better condition than most of the cars!!!! Apart from that it passes the time on and im guilty myself of dropping in whenever im passing, bit of tourist attraction really. All IMHO of course

 

wildheart have you tried simms junkyard,theve got a great burger van outside,first class bacon and egg,loads of scrap cars to look at too,not far from junkyard 28,he could kill two birds with 1 stone!

 

they will insist on doing the cam belt
check it as mk3cosworths belt on his monte was 2 teeth out when checked

 

Didn't a lad on here buy a car from jnc 28 and part ex'd his Fiesta RS Turbo, 85,000 miles with no history. He went back a month later and it had 40,000 on the clock and full history up for sale for £5000, Sorry but you really do have to be a bit to buy a car from there.

 

worth going for a look so you know what to avoid

i had a look up there a few years back... seemed like all the saffs had overspray on window rubbers....

and they were 8k cars

 

i heard someone i think a guy from Ford got messed about on a Focus RS. He bought the car and it had tax on the window. He picked car up it had no tax on it. At the time i belive he paid like 19995 for it. 3 months later he sold it, got 16995 then it was back up for sale at 19995 cant reember full details but it son the Rsoc site

 

funny you say that years ago a mate of mine did a px with his saph 2 weeks later went back and his saph had lost 40thou off the clock

 

where is it then?

what motorway?

if it's up the M1 then i'm up there in a few weeks time going to sheffield so i'll pop in and have a butchers

 

Mate leave em alone...

Mate got his focus rs from there, week after owning it he got a nice letter through the post saying there was outstanding finance on the car!!!!...Had a right nightmare trying to sort it out...

 

Guy is a smug lookin wee prick aswell and loves himself !!!!

I was in the area lookin at a saph cossie elsewhere and decided to pop in for a butchers with me mate ,guy basically isnt interested in u ,even if u have a nice car as a trade in

Cars are way over priced for what they are

wouldny buy fook all from him

 

If there winding the mileage back how come no one has chopped them in !!

I saw an imperial blue escort cos in there about two years ago, had runs on most of the panels where it had been painted and that was 17 or 18 k from what I remember.

There also to$$ers when you want to take one out from what i've been told.

 

Never had dealings with them personally but seem to be plenty that have but then again theyve been going a while so as long as you no what your looking at you shouid be ok
