Default Keighley

Either "Torque" or "Keighley Trade Sports & Performance".

Anyone got any experience of either of them??

I do seem to remember warnings about Keighley Performance Centre a couple of years ago.........do they still stand?? I rather suspect a name change.

LOL

Search has answered my query very well thankyou!!! I shall be nowhere near them!!

To be honest, I'm looking at getting a 2004/5 Sti, but considered an option of something like a decent Version 6 Sti.....and then spend some money on making it nice and giving it a bit more power.

I think I'll probably stick to the original plan......and an Approved Subaru!

2003/4/5 Sti with PPP probably.

I fancy the late 2004 into 2005 cars as they have the "new" chassis.

It will have to be a trade car though........coz I'm poor and require finance.

I also really like the Crystal Grey colour, but they are few and far between with the combination of PPP, Approved and decent finance.

My budget will depend on the finance package, but I'd say possibly up to about £17K

Get a personal loan M8. Usually better APR than finance, that way it frees up private sales for ya as well

They seem to be doing really well and sell a sh#t load of cars regardless of such a sh#t reputation.

I guess someone who is on a budget and wants the best for there money they will pop over to ktc.

They do have some nice cars.

Currently in the Mrs Furby VRs myself and on the hunt for an 05/55 STI PPP for me. As you say there seems to be few and far between that are anywhere decent.
Good luck on the hunt

Very true, they do get rid of their cars so cant be doing so bad. But regardless, the cars are generally ragged

no they don't mate, it's 100% dog dirt! I went a few months ago and can honestly say there was not one car that was worth buying, not even on a budget. THE worst place I've ever been to, total tripe!

350+ miles round trip for less than 5 minutes in each to know that they didn't have a single car worth test driving . they must have some good imaging software as the pics were amazing .

When you first arrive there you will be hit in the face with an array of nice looking motors, when you get close up you will see the quality of them are **** and overpriced to say the least.

Are there any good impreza traders that sell classics?

I dont think they are overpriced. Its just that their cars are generally low grade in quality.
