Guest zish Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hi guys, i'm currently driving a yellow S3 and I want to change it for a supra TT. I had considered a RX7 but i really want an auto as i do loads of boring London driving I've been doing some reading on this site (which is great by the way:clap:), and i'm starting to get an idea of what I want. I saw this car at the Keighley trade centre and it seems like a nice example (I really like the colour), but do you reckon it's a bit expensive?

merckx Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Keighley trade centre hasn't got a very good reputation on here for some reason! The car looks nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Don't EVER EVER buy from there, ever ever ever, ever ever ever ever if you prefer. There are plenty on here who will give you a number of reasons why not. I know trade sellers who will not buy or sell with them full stop. For 13k (advertised price in the pic) you can get a really nice example elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 as others have said, please avoid, it looks 'ok' but you will be buying problems there is always gonna be a reason why cars are cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Pay your £10 for full membership .. look at the "Cars For sale" forum on the BBS. You'll get a much quality car from a member here .. than that 'orrible place. I went there - when I was looking for a Supra .. The oil was totally black - couldn't even see through the sludge to the dipstick and the salesman didn't even know where the stock turbo's were!

RobSheffield Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 i have heard of people going there to see late supras, and finding the passenger airbag deployed, then pushed back through the flaps and held in with wire! also heard of wings gaffer taped and bad accident damage the only reason i would EVER go, is to actually sit in a Supra, and get a physical idea of how they feel. i was gonna do this before i went to one of the meets, simply to get an idea of what it felt like to sit inside a Supra, what the dash layout was etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 there is always gonna be a reason why cars are cheap!True but he's saying he thinks 13k for a 98 VVTi is dear. Seems like a pretty good price to me. (Apart from it's at Keighly Trade Centre so probably suspect in some way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 aye Jake see what you mean now. wouldnt a 98 VVTi be more like 15-20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Thought you couldnt polish a turd..... It seems some people can, I've stood next to many examples there In fairness on my last visit the stock did look a lot better presented than in the past (all the sheds were outside to put people off before they got in) - I just put this down to them getting a better body repair guy in. They are really ignorant too, if this is the impression before you buy I'd hate to have to go back to them with a problem. They don't seem to know the history of any of the stock either.

Aerotop Dave Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 That drivers seat looks like it's done 160,000 not 60,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 aye Jake see what you mean now. wouldnt a 98 VVTi be more like 15-20? i reckon so for a low miles grade 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 The price isn't far off, don't forget it's an auto - maybe 14K or less. Mightn't be anything wrong with the car, you could get it checked out properly first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Keighley Trade Center. AVOID. Went there when I was looking for a Supra. Thanks to this forum and the search button I went with a wealth of acquired knowledge and the salepeople there jsut didn't have a clue. I think you'd have to be Jessica Alba, naked and carrying a suicase full of wodge for them to even pay the slightest bit of attention. To recap - STAY AWAY.

hadyn Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thats a very expensive price for a Keighley car. Especially as its an auto. It doesnt look like the usual bodykitted crap they've got in tho...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 yup, avoid. Went there myself after a 5 hour drive last year. Cr@p condition cars and bad service. They'll tell you porkies on the phone. I think their reputation is catching on amongst jap performance car enthusiasts as I went past there a month ago for a wedding...it was full of jap 4X4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
