Has anyone had any experiences of these guys, they have a few tasty looking cossies in the showroom(and about a million focus rs's) but won't let you drive them until you've actually bought them which seems a bit weird....

Never used them, but ive read on here they are not the best and like you say, how can you not test drive a car before you buy

they have had some not so good feedback on here.surely they must at least take people out in them beforethey buy one.otherwise-very fishy!!!!

I wouldn't buy a car without test driving it first. You would have to be a complete muppet to even entertain something as daft as that.

Kiwi_Cossie

Right, I've had a read through some old posts (guess I should have done that first) and I won't be going back...

Ian M500COS

Id let them know about it too. Anyone who wont let you drive a car before purchasing it is hiding something in my book!!

i heard both good and bad storys from them!

rsady

I sold my rs focus there and the lads are fine, well they were about 18 months ago. and remember most cars have been drivin within an inch of its life anyway

rsady

and remember i had to put a deposit on my rs focus be4 ford let me drive it and i had to wait 9 months

Mr RS500

Think about it ,,,how many tossers they will get wanting to test drivre but have no intensions of buying its hard but a serious buyer will pay , drive and if not happy when test drove i am 100% that they will get there money / deposit back .

Its a tough thing to sort out tho this one

i agree.....when i brought my P1 they wouldnt let me drive it until i had decided to buy it coz they get the same tossers who just want to give it a good raging.

there was a thread about j28 just the other week

there were posts along the lines of "i sold my car o nthe monday with 150k on the clock and by wednesday it only had 70k showing"

alledgedly

they want top money for their motors and some of them aren't worth half of what the sticker price asks from what i've heard, but i haven't been there myself so it's all hearsay, but it's not somewhere i would put at the top of my priority list if i wanted to buy a cossie

Kiwi_Cossie

Yeah, I hear what your saying, but when your a 34 year old bloke turning up in a cherished 3 door cos, your probably a genuine buyer, not there just to rape the arse of a car, that seemed to make no difference to them whatsoever. Anyway the hunt for an Escos goes on...

Csm

Sorry but the guy shows no real proper interest if u are trading in or not and if ur car is minted ......walks about as if he is tom cruise and is just ignorant

i had a absolutly stunnin mondie st24 and was used for car shows ,everything was perfect and mint on car and he showed no interest in lookin at it or anything ,obviously to much hassle to shift his sweaty gay arse from his seat ,he just logged onto autotrader looked at a st24 REPLICA and said my car was worth the same as that ,twas a fookin 1.8lx with a front bumper fitted and a pile of wank ,now i was lookin at a so called mint 4x4 saph cos that was priced at £7.5 k ,bit overpriced but obvioulsy not compared to 10-11 k saphs he tries to sell these days

anyway myself and a mate had a good look all over the cars and granted there was a couple of mint examples but certainly not the overpriced cossies, it was a few focus rs,s that was mint and a evo6 at the time

smarmy dry wank is my thought of him and wouldnt buy a packet of hula hoops from him

Cam

I totally agree Paul
I'm not saying the Junkyard 28 name is unfounded but they do get some prime mint examples in along with loads of shitters.
If they offered test drives to every potential "buyer" they would be inundated with penniless wannabe tossers looking for an afternoons fun.

yeah but .. im sure they are experienced enough to know the real potential customers from the twats ...
i certainly would not part with any money untill i had test driven a car ...

Kiwi_Cossie

Well, thats just it, they don't, I'm a serious buyer with the wedge in my back pocket plus a 3 door cos and no test drive on offer, so basically screw them.... Not a penny of my wedge is going there

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Out of interest,what car was it you was looking at..........

Kiwi_Cossie

It was a red 3 door escos with a 305 ggr upgrade and an impressive brake conversion on it. Must admit it did look pretty mint, was asking 14995 for it

COMEDY DAN

I have heard only poor stories but on the other hand, they must be doing something right as they havent been shut down and he sells cars day in , day out.

2 sides to any story maybe.

cos jon

Why don't they say a £100 quid fee is to be paid prior to any test drive for each car you try, if you end up buying any car off them then they will knock that amount off the purchase price??. If you walk away you loose it. It would only be like an RAC inpection you only get them done if your serious about buying ???

Anyway my mate bought a real low miler escort turbo (44K) from them a few years ago, six grand i think, was told it was completly orginal even down to paintwork. When he came to sell it about 6 months later J28 offered him 2K less which he didn't accept but a private buyer noticed it had had a new wing and been painted down both sides !!! I agree he should have noticed it but some of the cars don't appear to be that genuine so be carefull !!

I went to look at that red one about 9 months ago. Allso looked at others there. Very pissed of wasting a day for 6hours drive round trip.

gaz s1

i went to trade my s1 in there and he offered me 1500 quid joke

Beach

Same old stories here with buying cars back 2 grand cheaper, its amazing how many people do actually take em back and accept 2 grand less

Pricey stuff aswell.

Still it wastes 5 mins now and again going for a laugh

Off topic i know, Beach where, and when is the next midlands meet then, did we all decide or not

cressy

iTrader: (1)

got my saff from there tuck it out 3 times before i brought it.thought they were very helpful

gaz s1

i bought my series 1 from there 7 years ago and to be honest i had a few problems with it and they sorted them out no problem i was there on sunday mate with me missus and kids when you was looking at the escort thats a nice 3dr youve got cant believe he would not let you test drive the escort i think hes proper gone downhill lately did you see the 4 grand rs2000 outside what a nail full of filler like everone says no test drive no purchase end of story

Kiwi_Cossie

Glad to hear you guys had positive experiences with them, and yeah I know what you mean about the RS2 and that escos outside looked like it had just been stolen recovered, the shroud wasn't even attached, v suspect. Didn't see your S1, Gaz, then again you could quite easily have been and gone given the amount of time I was there. Glad you liked the 3 door mate!

Mr Brannen

I have just recently been and viewed one he sold last year for £14,500 and honestly I wouldnt have given the poor lad who has it now 8 grand even for it , I could get my finger out of the bootlid for fuck sake, £14,500 , mate went down and said they had one up for £16,000 in white I think and when he looked inside it had McDonals wrappers in it and they hadnt even hoovered it out
