I went yesterday to look at a white jdm they have in. They have some nice looking cars. There are 2 companies running from the same site, Cheshire performance and Cheshire motor car company, they said they aren't the same. I said I'd seen all the bad reports on the internet and asked him if he'd actually stand by his warranty, he said it's an rac one and any I could get any garage to do the work. The only thing put me off was there was no leather left on the steering wheel on a 70k car. He offered me a decent price on my civic type r to. I'm desperate to buy another after selling my type UK, head must rule the heart though.

If they took a car in, changed the tyres, did a full service, cleaned it up, got any scratches done, had the wheels refurbed and provided a proper aftersales etc like most garages should it would warrant the extra premium, but this cowboys don't do that.

Are you talking about jdm blob eye? I've been there to have a look and also noticed that steering wheel, it looks like it did 170k not 70k, if it comes to warranty I've been told I'll get 24 hours warranty :P

Yes it was the white jdm blobeye, I really want one, but I've never seen so much wear on a steering wheel except on a 400k mileage transit my mate used to have! You think he'd have changed it for a new one to get a sale.

Matty at MBdevolopements has got some fresh imports and more coming in. Was there the other day that white spec c he has is stunning. Anyone after a fresh import should give him a call he's one of us so you should be safe buying from him.

Advertising wise we spend approx £7000 a month, £3000 a month rent, Approx £4000 a month prep and then wages on top.
Only difference is we actually prep our cars & have 12 months MOT with no advisories on them, hence how we manage to sell 16 or more per week.
Just wish our director would let me buy Impreza's

CPC I think they were called for short??? http://www.cheshireperformance.co.uk...archgroup/sale
Display registrations are still CPC so I assume so, if anyone knows different please say and I'll remove this post so not to damage a business name.

Unfortunately yes CPC are still going.
I recently purchased a car from Cheshire Performance Cars (CPC), Manchester (09/06/18). My advice if you are considering buying from them is to avoid at all costs.
15 days & circa 500 miles after taking ownership I took the car to a garage for what I suspected was a puncture, to be told the inner of the alloy was corroded, causing the tyre to not seal with the rim, the tyre being spoilt also. The alloy would likely need refurbishing & the tyre would need replacing.
Not great news to receive, but this is a 2nd hand car & these things happen. I decided to call CPC to resolve the issue amicably. I was within 30 days of sale so I knew I had certain consumer rights on my side. CPC asked me to email them with my concern – their response was while they would be happy to welcome the car back for inspection, in this instance they needed to seek legal advice, & would respond within 7 to 10 days.
As of 04/08/18, CPC has not contacted me to resolve the issue, or made any arrangements with me to inspect the car or resolve my concerns.
The alloys weren’t the first issue others included:
Since then I have had the car inspected by ATS & RAC.
ATS found 3 of 4 wheels to be corroded & that 1 tyre was worn to the canvass.
Here are some extracts from the RAC’s inspection 15-page report:
I have since been in touch with the finance company I bought the car through (within 30 days of the initial purchase) to seek to return the car. CPC is disputing it which I know breaches my consumer rights. The matter is still ongoing & I am prepared to see it through to the end – I am currently paying for a car that I can’t drive.

The alloys weren’t the first issue others included:
- Oil dashboard warning light came on within 100 miles, oil on dip stick below low mark
- Brakes sticking
- Struggles to start when cold
- A brake dust shield was missing
- AirCon not working
- Windscreen washer is not providing enough liquid to clear the windscreen
- Loud squeak when operating the clutch pedal
- Clicking noise when setting off or breaking, this appears to be coming from the sub frame
- Electric folding mirrors didn't work, needed shut off device repairing in one and replacing in the other
- Under tray inspection panel secured with zip ties
Since then I have had the car inspected by ATS & RAC.
ATS found 3 of 4 wheels to be corroded & that 1 tyre was worn to the canvass.
Here are some extracts from the RAC’s inspection 15-page report:
“In the Engineers opinion the vehicle is in a poor condition for its age and indicated mileage”
“There is evidence of accident repairs. Bonnet repainted, REF wing repainted, RHF door repainted and roof repainted.”
“Some of the defects would attract an MOT fail”
“The extensive number of defects found on this vehicle are likely to prove costly to rectify”
The oil analysis came back with “wear metal readings are generally rather higher than we would like and the oil condition levels are elevated.”
Given the RAC’s assessment I contacted the DVSA to have the car re-examined, they found defects for which the vehicle should have been refused a test certificate. These were 2 major defects, broken coil spring & windscreen washer providing insufficient washer liquid, as well as 5 advisories for corrosion, brakes & exhaust. The MOT was issued 2 days before I took ownership of the car & had no advisories. For info the MOT was conducted by a third party, not CPC.“There is evidence of accident repairs. Bonnet repainted, REF wing repainted, RHF door repainted and roof repainted.”
