marc_p Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Well I was in desperate need of a good laugh so I decided to take a trip down to see the good old folks at KTC. By far the funniest car there was this dodge viper. http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_popup.jsp?did=12545&pageid=4&originalid=&gid=nogroup&tid=40&start=5&distance=0&adcategory=cars&channel=DEALERPAGE&id=200812306151019 The problems and KTC's excuses were hilarious to say the least, now where do I start. Me: The paint work is scratched, dented and very very poor KTC: Most of it will buff out Me: I can fit my whole hand in between the bonnet and headlight KTC: The last owner did that to aid cooling Me: This headlight (the other one) is loose and wobbles KTC: It's just a broken clip, £2 to fix Me: The bumper doesn't line up to the bonnet KTC: Probably just a broken clip again, cheap fix Me: The door card is falling off. KTC: we fixed the window and haven't got round to putting it back on properly Me: Parts of the steering wheel are peeling and falling off. KTC: it's expected when the car has been kept in hot conditions To be honest I didn't even bother looking under the bonnet, this thing had blatantly been in a front end smash and not repaired properly. So remember, if your ever feeling down just grab a buddy and take a trip down to KTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 And the scary thing is that people still buy from them. I still giggle when I remember their mechanic explaining to me how every N/A has a turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 absolute outragous place ain't it.. when i went to see them. they had a Mitsi FTO with a EVO engine in it and the car was an absolute state, bad bodywork, paint, graphics.. bad everything but what made me really laugh was the fact that the rear wiper had been 'removed' (more like smashed off) and it had been left with a hole the size of a tennis ball in the window, where water, dirt, wind etc.. could get in. And KTC said that most owners in Japan did this as it saved weight!!! What a bunch of lying, thiefing, scamming C**TS who would probably steal money from thier own gran!!

Jezz Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'll never forget my only visit up there, I was looking at a Supra and asked to hear it running. They had to start it with a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I need to pop down there to have a look. I'm intrigued by the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Over the years whilst owning a variety of Jap cars me and my mate have always looked at the Keighley ads and wanted to drive up and take a look. The thing is that it's just a little too far to just have a gander. Yet despite the countless threads and ridiculous stories you hear I still wonder if maybe there is something decent there! Surely from all those cars to choose from you could find something decent? You've been there a few times Michael seeing as it's local, is every single car there a total dog?

michael Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 You've been there a few times Michael seeing as it's local, is every single car there a total dog? Not every car is a dog but I'd go out on a limb and say that even the ones that look OK will have something wrong with them I looked at relatively new DC5s in there a few years ago, a handful of miles on the clock but a lot more on the bodywork if you know what I mean. They really don't like you to take photos there either, I got asked to leave when I tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 This may be the reason why so many people walk through their doors People are drawn by the prices and the amount of stock they have available I guess - they advertise a lot and there aren't a vast amount of importers up this end that keep that many cars around for people to view.

Swampy442 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I looked at some Soarers they had there a few years back, and tatty wasnt the word. Might go back to check the new stock out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 i remember I went to have a look a couple of years back.... i was passing the place and thought I go in for a laugh. I really do not know how these guys stay in business..... well ......I have my suspicions. But each car they have in there is full of dodgey things. I went to take a look at some EVOs and each one looked as if it had been in an accident. I also asked a few questions and each answer was just out of their 101 bollox excuses book.
