Heard loads of bad reports about this place and the standard of RS's they sell.

I went abut 12 years ago and they had some great cars in, is it that bad these days?

they always look to have some mint cars there ive never heard bad rumours about there, the cars are quite expensive tho but it is trade.

I dont really get why people slag them off so much. Like any dealer, you go and take a look at the car/s your thinking of and make your own mind up. Ive been a few times while passing just to be nosey, and they do have some nice cars and some not so good ones. Im talking about escos' here, so your always going to get a variation of quality from car to car, just like you would when your looking at private sellers cars'.

Dont quote me on this either, but im sure they also sell cars on behalf of customers and take a cut or mark them up to make some money themselves. Nothing wrong with that though as their in it to make money at the end of the day.

I also beleive that they offer good warrenties with their cars (or most of), which is why some may seem a little overpriced to some. Ask for no warrenty if you want and im sure they may knock a chunk of money off.

Go and take a look for yourself mate and make your own mind up.

mate bought a Focus RS from there when first launched, cut a long story short he handed over the cash took delivery of the car, he registered it in his name 2 weeks later a finance company got in touch saying they was outstanding finace on the car and he had to pay it

Took j28 ages to sort it all out, they didnt seem to care.

sorry but all cars are hpi checked so this would come back on them that would take time to sort but in general there cars are ok they do have the odd bad one but so does every other car sales place just have a good look atthem is all i can say cos they do have some nice motors

MrBroadside

It did go back to them but there was no urgency in them in sorting it out, the finance company was going to repo it....it did get sorted but not really a nice experiance when shelling out 4k over Fords retail price, youd expect it to go smoothly lol.
I would just go and see them, me personally wouldnt buy shit from them.

Why was this then mate? Were they that rare and valuable when they first came out then?

MrBroadside

Apparently so, iirc ford wanted Ł19995 but couldnt get him one, Juction 28 had pre-registered ones at Ł23995...I sold it for him on here a couple of months ago, has 19 superleggas ect...do a search on here was a nice one

i think that place is pricey,last time i went there it was nice to see all the cossies but ther was this escos & it was scabby,i couldnt believe the price of it,best part of Ł15000,& he had a beta 1 in ther & it was cheaper.most of the fords are inside.he sells alsorts now.

saph4be

while people continue to pay these prices he will keep sellin them at these prices so he can't loose out really

Can't be that bad as they've been in business a long time and I doubt any of them are going hungry.

i have 2 mates who have bought cars from there , both are real hard core Rs owners , these 2 guys have not a bad word to say about the place ..
i was there last weekend , in stock the were 3x esc cos, 2 x saph 4x4, 3 x focus rs, 1 Rs500, 1 3dr cos, all cars were top motors .
ive owned rs's for many years and i would have no problem either buying a car or selling a car to them.

Thats a funny way to judge their product quality.

I know plenty of shabby businesses that are still making money.


By your way of thinking, mcdonalds is better food than jamie olivers
