Welcome :D
hello and Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Keighley should be avoided at all costs, unless you are bored and fancy a trip out anyway. If you are in the Newcastle area you need to be speaking with a chap called Jurgen who is on here, a fine reputation for good vehicles, unlike Keighley Trade Centre.

:yeahthat:
and welcome to the club :)
Fair warning, but Jurgens are bit out of my league for price.
Plus I don't wanna dump a busted celica on someone who might look at it before getting a sale.
Hello and welcome to the club, I got mine from Jurgen and what a car i got, nearly BPU. Speak to him or contact one of the other Traders on here.
Try and avoid Keighley, please.

Going to Keighley today
Did he say 'Keighley' - did he?:blink:

Just be aware that what you save on the price by buying at Keighley Trade Centre may well come back and bite you in repairs / replacement parts in the future...
Hi. Not being funny mate, by the prices Jurgen & co have cars up for are generally exceptional value for money and give you a lot of car for the money.
If you think the prices seem steep, you need to make sure you can afford the running costs because these car's aren't cheap to run. You reallly ought to budget for (expensive) repairs too as these cars are getting on a bit and buying 'cheap' may be a mistake.
Don't get me wrong, I know he sells quality, but I dont have £11k - £15k which is what his current stock is at. Got a budget of £8k, and thats to allow for repairs etc later on, and also any mods I wanna make on the way.
Theres some bad cars out there and thats why I need to look first, I just know that they can't have all bad cars, otherwise they'd be closed. Gotta be worth a look in other places too.
So how was Keighley then?
Couldn't get the car from work, never got the chance. Might go over the weekend.
I know they have a mixed reputation (not all bad stories) which is why I am going with an air of caution. Anything I buy will be checked by my mechanic within days, as I have been burned before.
Mixed? Have you heard good feedback from someone then?
I've been there lots of times for my own amusement, I wouldn't dream of buying a car from them.
Good to hear you have someone to inspect the car but by the time they look at it won't it be too late? Better to take a mechanic with you, they might save you from parting with money...
After a load of hassle with a previous car, I now know that as a Consumer of goods you have the right to take it back within 28 days and get a full refund. After that period its down to the sellers discression.
Think its only health and safety reasons that stop that being a law that covers everything, things like underwear basically.
KTC seem to feel they are above the law, good luck though :)
Can be a risky business buying a cheap Supra. Surely no point in upping the odds.
Welcome :D

Above the law?

helloooooooooo
Their customer service department isn't exactly friendly, I've heard tales of people struggling to return cars that are clearly death traps - I forget which forum it was but someone wrote up about them being threatening and obnoxious.

hi dude, we can get you supras for 9k but as private import only we might have nice white tt 6 speed for £9,995 soon just need to buy it in japan:)
Digger dude, welcome.
Listen to these guys!! I went to KTC before I joined this forum, and knew nothing about cars at the time. Luckily the one I was looking at wouldn't start - they said it needed some fuel! That put me off and I never went back!!
If you've got a good bloke to go with you to look at the cars then fine but if you find one that's in good shape I'd be suprised - plus I wouldn't trust it not to blow something within a year if it is found to be good.
For 8k you should be able to find a reasonable one second hand off here. Probably need to be an auto though and you may have to consider an NA.
I stretched my budget to buy a Supra 2 years ago, and was amazed at how much I spent on it (Average about £350 a month!!), now sold for a mortgage and there's NO WAY I could afford one at the moment.
You need to be sure you can afford owning one before jumping in - especially jumping in one from Keighley!!

Buy private mate 8k will get you a nice one, you could have mine for 8 :)
...and was amazed at how much I spent on it (Average about £350 a month!!)
Ecactly what mine is working out at if you include mods, repairs, tyres, insurance etc. NOT including petrol though!!
I got my soop from Keighley!! But not KTC, avoid like the plague. I think after one trip there you'll see what we mean mate.
Welcome! :)

Hi there and welcome. Where abouts in the North East are you? Im from Newcastle myself. If you have a budged of 8K Vine place have one at that price. its a silver tt auto with 46k miles http://www.vine-place.co.uk/splash.htm I got my car from there. very helpful and good quality cars but Iv had bad experience with there body shop so dont recommend any body work from them but there cars are good
My Dad has had a couple of FTO's from Vine Place, he had nothing but hassle with them. Granted they helped as much as they could but they gave him a J Reg Rover to tide him over for 2 months while they looked at a major electrical fault.
They then realised they "couldn't fix it", gave him next to nothing for it then traded for another one.
Two weeks later they sold it (again).
So I doubt I'll even go there to be honest.
Co-incidentally, he loads of hassle with the second one too!
Obviously I hot a raw nerve with Keighley, just wondering if anyone has heard good or bad things about Calder Motor Company near Edinburgh?
