michael Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 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.

Digger009 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 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. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

jaymdee Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger009 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 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.

michael Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 So how was Keighley then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger009 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 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.

michael Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger009 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 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.

Ewen Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Can be a risky business buying a cheap Supra. Surely no point in upping the odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 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.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 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:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Buy private mate 8k will get you a nice one, you could have mine for 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 ...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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
