Homer Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Title changed. Seems a bit expensive to me, though the spec and colour are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm about an hour away from there mate. I used to live 5mins around the corner from the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest carrotts Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'm about an hour away from there mate. I used to live 5mins around the corner from the garage. is it known as a decent garage?? dan.. it would be great if you could pop in mate.. dont go out your way though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 is it known as a decent garage? No, vastly over priced and sell some right crap, or at least they used to, stopped going over to look at their cars due to the condition of them, not sure if things have changed.

Guest carrotts Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 putting some doubt in my mind there todd.. maybe things have changed. would be ideal though if i could find someone to pop and have a look for me.. does 9995 seem a half decent price for thid car with this spec??

Greenauto Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hmm, Personally I'd steer clear. It may seem ok in the pics, but most of Dee's stock is a wee bit tatty round the edges and tends to have a few less than tasteful mods. All stuff he'll sort for you, but at a price. The price seems a bit steep in my opinion. If you have your heart set on a really nice green twin then check out the for sale section. I don't think Razza has sold his yet, its by far the nicest I've seen. If I was onshore I'd have taken a look for you while down visiting my relatives mate.

dannysupratt Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 worth a road trip i say and if its not that good i reckon you could find another nice one. The other thing carrots is, i have found a few really nice facelift autos for around 8k and under. It might be worth geting one of them and converting to a 6 speed, just a thought?

nige Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I was over at calders a couple of weeks ago had a look at this car,love the color but to be honest it is not worth the money they are asking for it,be patient and i'm sure you will find one a bit cheaper and probably better.

AlanM Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I have been to them in the past, 6 years ago when I bought my Supra and knew nothing about the supra, didn't buy from them though, and I will not be going back, maybe that gives you a clue .....

jamesmark Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I would stay clear of Calder motors, there cars are over priced and they never come down on the price. That green one has been up for sale at the same price for several months as a new guy posted this up a whiles back as for advice on a Green TT from Calder. You will get so much more if you buy elsewhere and we have our own for sale section too with well looked after examples for a lot less cash. The thing that Calder motors relies on is there is always some idiot around the corner that thinks they are getting a bargain, do not be one of those idiots.

Guest gracie69 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 i went to see it a couple of months ago. def not worth the money. the bodykit is really rough. flakey paint! and inside its not the nicest. their cars are a bit hit and miss. i bought a mr2 off them 4 years ago, which was a great car. but they are well known for selling accident damaged cars and not telling you about it:taped: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formatzero Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi carrots i was the new guy who posted that green sup some months ago and was advised to steer clear.It had a manual box recaro seats and at that time the paint looked good,a bit too good for the age of car,engine didn't look like low miler,and body kit not the best fitted ive seen.After offering me peanuts for my own car:eyebrows: the garage owner told me it was a guy from inverness who had it,and he had left with tears in his eyes as he was so upset having to sell it :sly:a likely tale,maybe the tears were due to the price he got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carrotts Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 thanks for all the info fellas.. think i'm going to steer clear!! i really have 10k burning a hole in my pocket at the mo!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
