Default Keighley Trade Centre

Hi I'm new on here I've been looking at buying a car from Keighley Trade Centre, after googling the name I've seen a lot of bad reviews over the last few year but no recent ones.

Does anyone know if it's still as bad as people say it is? Any recent experiences?

Thanks

True, trust no-one ........ but Keighley have a certain 'reputation' - which is hard to lose.

No disrespect to the OP but every thread asking about KTC all seem to be laid out the same..... Just a thought

I suggest you go and look for yourself and make up your own mind, it is the wisest thing to do. ;-)

I was wondering the same. I wouldn't visit that place if it was the last car sales forecourt on the planet selling cars.

A simple search on the net or here would tell you all you need to know.

I thought it looked suspect. Did a check on it. Comes back as a STi though. Must have had brakes swapped at somepoint then not had brembos put back on.

Well yeah gaz I noticed the crap brakes and aftermarket scoop, but how do you know it's a 5 speed as its hard to make it out on picture and looks like 6 but can be sure.
Still too cheap if it is a genuine sti

MY02 should be the bug eye, blob eye came out in 2003 so there's something wrong!

that blob must be made of loads of different imprezas.
the brakes look to big to be wrx discs, but it has brembos on the rear.
wrong carpet, the seats are bug sti,wrong steering wheel (should be grey in centre)
wrong side skirts.
but does have the sti ic spray switch and oddly a front fog switch.4
the lift thing on the gear lever looks to be missing to get into reverse so possibly 5 speed box fitted.
also bugeye wing mirrors.
my guess would be a wrx with a few sti parts chucked on or a bugeye with a front end conversion
