Neil@FastFord

Not the cheapest, but you are buying a specialist car from a dealer so they won't be.

I've been there and had a poke about, seemed a good set up.

Heard a few bad stories, but know people personally who have been very happy.

If you have an idea what you want and check it out, you sould be alright IMO

If you know what your looking at you will be ok.

gaz s1

Apparently they come down alot in price if you go in with cash

Popped accross many years ago after wasting my time loooking at a flint grey saph 4 hours away from me, so another 1 hour wasnt going to hurt in having a look.

Had some nice metal but did have some shit aswell in RS form but you will get that anywhere that says there a specialist.

Owner was ignorant dry wank that had no banter or would even pop outside and look at then was my cleaner than showroom ST24 mondie that wasnt even that old for a decent trade price seen as his was so highly priced on his cars.

You may get a decent car now and again but i wouldnt ever go out my way to 'pop' back in for a look or chat.

Wasnt there a big thread about junction 28 years ago where they were getting slated for selling dodgey cars. Im sure there was an escort cossie in there ages ago with mk6 escort doors on it.

Clocked cars, ropey stock, over priced shit are just a few of the slogans i have heard attached to J28

saph4be

i never saw any evidence off clocking in my time working there and some cars maybe overpriced to some people but people continue to pay for them if you don't like the price don't pay it simple really

and as for poor cars yeah they will get some every car dealer does it just selling high profile cars brings bad comments on this forum and let's be honest one bad word about someone on this forum and thay have had it!

bamba

i went there a few years ago when i was after a fiesta turbo.the guy chucked me the keys and said take it for a spin.i said "dont you want to come with me"
he said to this lad "you go with him"
i said to this lad"where do you want me to go"
he said "i dunno i dont work here"
i laughed and gave it a good test drive...couldnt believe it really.

no jct28 experience apart from thinking they are expensive but when i was looking for a saph a few years back i went round a few 'specialists' and just saw overpriced sheds.the most expensive saph,a magenta 2wd at Ł7495 was honestly spares or repairs.on auto trader at a place that sells and stores caravans between sheffield and manshester.utter scrap.look privately and you will get a better deal.

Alan_D

I'm sure they bought my uncle's Sapph Cosworth a few years ago with around 24k miles on the clock and the spare wheel untouched. So they do sell some quality stuff!

Ive seen some cracking cossies for sale there too.

how much did they add onto the price of that out of interest?

StephenC

Always known them as junkyard 28. Overpriced shit every time Ive been for a look.

kosman

last time i looked a few years ago they had a sweet 500 in and a rust arched saff that had a bit of a crumpled floor where it had been jacked up for 6.5k which i thought was steep.

Alan_D

Not sure as we never bothered to look afterwards. But I can imagine it would have been a fair whack. They have a reputation for being quite pricey.

So these are rumors that you have just seen posted on forums, and not from personal experience? It's posts like yours that perpetuate rumors based on hearsay as opposed to fact.

danneth

awful overpriced pieces of junk, never been but im following the trend

Shings

NMS is on the same trading estate and I believe they do a bit of work for them.

I know in the past they've had some dodgy cars but from what I am led to believe they're no worse or better than any other used car dealer.

Sure was Glen, me and Gary F saw it there, it was a red escos and we noticed the mk6 door handles straight away. They also had some top motors there, mainly mk1 focus RS's. We were having a look when my old saff was getting mapped by NMS

saph4be

mk 6 door handles make it a bad car then? i thiught the reyland escort had mk6 door handles too that must be a shed as well then

people do change them you now

stephenbatey

iTrader: (1)

No it doesn't, and when have I said it was a "bad car" or a "shed"??? I said I saw the car glen was on about!!!

Gary F

iTrader: (1)

The fact of the matter was J28 said they were the original doors, and they weren't!
Wouldn't bother me personally, but most Escos owners are anal as fuck!

stephenbatey

iTrader: (1)

Gary what was that cafe called down there?? That fat bird had eyes for you LOL

rickbartlett

arent the door handles interchangeable?

Gary F

iTrader: (1)

Don't know but she loves anal off the fucking customers

Gary F

iTrader: (1)

I don't think so mate, I think you have to change the whole door, and on a low mileage car it puts questions in your head...

p.cressie

My mate bought a S1 from there. Had more filler than steel in the inner wings. Ended up taking them to court to get his money back. That was before they moved and changed there name slightly.

Are you gonna reply to me regarding the money you owe me then or carry on ignoring? as you clearly have time to be on here..

steviecossie

ive been in a couple of times first time to see an imperial blue escos which was seriously overpriced and another time i went to see a low mileage auralis escos but the paintwork on the car was terrible with some dents down 1 side and the lower rear spoiler was all cracked. they did have some good looking cars though. loads of mk1 FRS's when i was there

think its just like any other dealer they get some good cars and they get some bad cars
