DannyB Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well I went to look at an evo 6 today, Looked like it could have been nice Offered me full price on my car against his which I thought was good So after finally arranging to meet half way in leicester (as opposed to 130miles away) we had a look around It pulls up and looked amazing, then I put my glasses on OMG Over spray, Dented rear boot, which under closer investigation revealed filler all on the inside of the boot And cracking bottom end of the car around the front and the back which has been filled in with something or other Tatty interior etc Car didn’t idle too great either, but maybe a trait of a 6, so didn’t judge that. But the first thing I spotted 5seconds after he got here…. Keighley trade centre on the damn Reg plate……. jog on mate! I just humoured him to see how bad it was as I knew from that point it was a no go! And it was bad! Didn’t even test drive it! I said mate, you told me it was imported by F1 autos, half decent. If id have known it was from KTC I wouldn’t have wasted my time!! Back to square one then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Lol I thought this was a rant against the Evo 6 as a car! Thats the risk you take with used cars, but its worse you drove 60 miles to find that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erol_h Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Lol I thought this was a rant against the Evo 6 as a car! Thats the risk you take with used cars, but its worse you drove 60 miles to find that out Id rather lose 60 miles then end up with a pile of crap but i still understand how annoying it is when they are not honest with you.

madmike Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 :D60 miles is nothing , mate of mine dragged me all the way to glasgow to pick up a evo 8 with a duff clutch ,all that way in a shed of a shogun with a trailer and turned out to be quite probably the worst car in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thanks for the spelling in the Tags (keighley) It was the major factor for me tbh, if it wasnt from there it was still a heap But i never thought id have experience with one of there cars, especially after telling so many people to give them a wide birth! Oh well, could of travelled the full 130miles like i nearly did saturday to find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erol_h Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 the guy i bought my sup from told me it was in good condition but i found a few thoughts with it and to me it wasnt that good. In the end i bought the car but for £75O less then he wanted and wasnt budging from the other either i dont like people who seem to exagarate.

DannyB Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thats the thing, if he ha given the car away i still wouldnt of taken the risk as where it came from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Sorry to hear your hunt for a proper car got scuppered at the main hurdle. My supra was advertised so honestly about even the most minor of issues with it, that it actually gave me some confidence when buying that nothing else/major was about to break. Keep us posted on your future purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
