Hurst cars
 

mates looking at a couple they have but don't know much about them.

Anyone had any recent dealings with them?

also anyone had any issues with car's bought from them, if so have they stood up and sorted out any issues or refund?

:suspicious:

you have a suspicious mind Maz ;)

they dodgy then dude?

How long you been on this site?

o long time, search function comes up with various questions asking about em but can;t find a definative answer :S

last post was about someone askign the same but never got a responce othe than offers of folks to go have a nosey for them.

I bought a newage STI off Max a few years ago, lovely honest car. He actually pointed out minor imperfections that I hadn't noticed.

I popped up threre to check over a Type R last week, again completely open about the car and its issues, (which were very Minor and few).

IMO Max is to be trusted and normally has a good selection of tasty cars. :thumb:

cheers cooky, thats a darn sight more usefull than sarcy comments. sound like its gonna be worth a look at them then.

I've not heard a bad word about them. They've got a good reputation, cars aren't the cheapest but then again peace of mind is worth paying the extra for.

I'd personally pay a slight premium to buy from them tbh.

I'm gonna stop now, as I sound like a fanboy. :D

Top bloke been there a few times and the cars are decent quality and spec

I bought mine from Max @ Hurst. He is a top bloke. Mine was a '99 2.1 stroker STI 5. Its did have a few issues when I bought it that occurred after the purchase. But you need to be realistic about what your buying. Mine was a tuned motor built in Ireland to around 350/400 hp. To ask Max to put a full warranty on a car that was not built by him would be unreasonable. He did have receipts and full details of the build, parts used, all mods and the details of the tuner in Ireland who built the car. It did however have a few issues that wormed their way out after purchase but where not engine related. It had a few electrical issues and leaky rear shocks. Having said that a couple of the blades on the impeller of the turbo where bent. I spoke to Max about these issues and we did come to an agreement and he did refund some of the cost of the car to cover the cost of the niggles that needed to be sorted out. Couldn't say fairer than that at all. Happy with his service though out the sale and they way in which he dealt with the issues after sale. I'd buy from him again.

fair do's, tbh if he is standing by his sales and comign to an agreement to sort issues out then cant do better than that

I bought my bugeye Sti off him 2 years back.havent got a bad word to say an very helpful.i always check what cars he has in.always look very clean an good specs.slightly over priced I am not sure on that.but for peace of mind an a decent example worth a little bit more in my eyes.he has always said if I sold it,he would be interested at buying it back.nice genuine guy

Tidgy, you asleep or what?
I've never bought a car from max but going by what I read, I wouldn't hesitate to go buy a car off him.

seems to be ok busta, search function didnt seem to give much in the way of definative answers but have em now :)

There you go, and nice to hear some positive feedback, particularly from people that have actually had dealings with them rather than the usual 'my mates mate ' rubbish. I was going to look at a couple they had before I bought my current blob.

I hear Cheshire is better though, and they give free pants with every car :lol1::D

I'm contemplating the version 5 sti wagon he has

Yes that white one could tempt me back to scooby ownership

I saw that in the metal, and it is very nice indeed.

I've only ever heard good things about them

Bought a car from max 2 weeks ago. I've put 500miles on with no issues. I found him genuine and honest.

Max buys um cheap and wacks a wedge on, I was told he has no warranty too. But don't know if it's true.

He offered me 10k for my spec c. Cheshire performance have me 10500

Brought my car from max nice guy and very up front and honest brought cars from a few garage hurst was by far the best experience I had gave me the keys and told me to go over it as much as I wanted even gave me the folder of reciepts and told me to sit down and go thru them all to make sure I was happy even gave me some money for fuel aswell car has had some
Minor issues since but hey it's a subaru when don't they have problems lol all in all I would reccomend max to anyone :)

A trader buying cheap and selling for a profit, Isn't that kind of how it works ?
I'm sure you're not doing what you do as some sort of public service. Just out of interest what would you charge to respray a front bumper on a Blob STI?

He may have offered you less than Cheshire performance but he may well have sold it for less.

How else would a business work Jake ???
If the cars are too expensive then they wouldn't sell, if he's able to get them cheap then fair play to him. He sells alot of cars so he's obviously not that over the top with prices.....

And not sure what you mean by 'no warranty'. Do you mean he doesn't use a third party company to cover the warranty ??
He's a dealer so by law has to offer warranty, that warranty does not have to be via another company.

I've dealt with Max many times. Very pleasant chap and as honest as the day is long.

Bought a type r and my current S202 from Max and as has been mentioned he is as honest as the day is long, both cars have been cracking. Andy

money is burning a hole in my pocket,really like that white wagon and the grey type r

what puts me off a classic tho is rust issues
