Best thing to do is go and look, as there is so many different opinions on the cars they sell that no one can really advise you! Does look nice on the pics tho

the thing is no matter how bad they are, you may miss a cracking car and they are very hard to find now.

so go have a look and judge for yourself, take someone who knows their stuff.

they must have got rid of the valeters who spray all the wheels with sparkling silver by now????



if you want a really nice genuine car then look at automotive unlimited

The guy is a twat ,loves himself loves his "overpriced" cars and they are shit for the money ,i was in the area and popped in to view his cars and he is a total wank ,and i hope u are reading this !!!

He may have a nice example cossie for sale but i doubt it ,his escys never seem to sell nor do the saffs ,always the same ones he has up for grabs at beyond top dollar

You could probably say that whatever car you get, it may not have the original fitments in... he once told us that if we saw a car we liked which had cloth in it but we wanted the leather, said he would swap it! I think he's overpriced.... would have to get a car well checked out before I bought one of him!

My mate bought a "stage 3" 4x4 escos on a L reg in white with 18" azev A's from there at the fat end of 17k and it was runnin bout 300bhp so it was only mildly looked at really it was "low mileage" although the gearknob was well worn!
he didnt notice that when he bought it cos he had puppydog eyes when he saw the thing!
it was parked next to another escos which had well rough paint (chipped to fook!) and was only up for 15k! bit it did have 17's
since than he's had tha engine done and its now kicking some 450bhp so its probably nearer the dealers quotes after 3mths and bout 4k!
he's 19 and it costs him Ł2500 to insure it but mummy pays for it cos he's a spoilt git but hey its bloody fast! and better than his last couple of nails 5gt and clio williams 1+2 (poser!)

you know alot of people slate em, but ive noticed they have been going for years

a few people sell there cars there as he seems to be the only one paying good money for em too


maybe its more to do with owners bodging there cars and selling em to him

he must sell em though otherwise where else does he get the cash to buy em

never used em my self but pop over and remember buyer beware

im sure paul at north yorks or even pete him self know about a few decent cars, pete aint the cheepest about but he dont bull shit ya about either

paul is just a diamond and will help anyone out ( he helped me out big time 2 days before me best mates funeral or i would never have made it, i dont foget people like that )

if not im sure the A1 rally sport guys know of a few as they ALWAYS seem to have escos's about

Does anyone know much about the imperial blue one for sale at Junct 28? Its been on autotrader for months, I thought it would have sold as its a one owner car and not too many miles.
