The stories I've heard about Keighley Trade Centres are enough to put me off buying form there.

I know the one your on about, and they still wanted £8500 for it

I dont live to far away from Keithley car trade centre and pop in every now and then, if you want me to have a look at the EVO for you so you dont have a wasted trip i dont mind, just let me know

I do have to say there imported evo's and subarus do look sh*te but my mate bought his flat black esc cos from there and never had a problem. Its just all the imported crap that they have probs with by the sounds of it

As said avoid Keighley trade centre I'd pay the extra £150 and get the 3, the 3 has more power and better interior, spoilers etc.

They are great fun and good cars for the money

I would not go near them with a bargepole Davie. Go onto the MLR and check out private sales he should get a better deal. Someone just sold a 4gsr needing a diff from Dunfermline for 3.5K.

does not have to be a evo,an impreza of some sorts would do.

it was more the price/turbo/4x4 that was the key.

thanks for the efforts tho,you could always sell him yours for 2.5 k graham

i just read about this on the other post at the top of the page, apparently it was an Aubergine color with a Rally Light pod on the bonnet?

if it's the one i think it is, then i have footage of that car being ragged the arse off at pontycruise. i'll post it up later.
