keighly trade centre (again)
 

I know they have a crap name in this industry and with good reason but have they changed their name to torque of keighly
Torque of Keighley - Showroom

or is this another company that may get confused with that lot?

Different company same sh~t !!!

Its a seperate company to my knowledge, about 10 mins away from where i live

HTH

Yep they are Diff company.

LMAO :lol1:

Whats so bad about torque ? Everyone say's not to go there, but have never heard why ?

Well Keighly Trade Centre have a reputation for selling poor quality imports.

Torque of Keighly may or may not be linked but the Keighly bit puts people off.

IMO, there is probably some link. I've noticed both places have Lancia Delta EVOs which aren't seen in that many import centres but coincidently both Keighly places have them.

Torque have a FE EVO2 Delta for £18K. Undercuts the other 2 for sale in the UK by £6K.

Stolen parts end up on their cars too....

I had a 400 mile round trip thinking out of the two garrages and tons of stock there had too be atleast one good'un . I was wrong :nono:

Its a good place to go to if you are undicided what you want as there are a lot of different cars in one place.

But as above the quality isnt very good. But im sure they are bound to have a good un at some point???

Its just I started noticing that some of there cars are on there a while. Its strange as alot of there picture's make their cars look very good. When I was looking for a scoob I wanted to go because they had such a vast choice. But I wasn't rushing into buying one so spent about 4 months looking before deciding what i wanted to go for, And some on their site never moved. :wonder:

Trust me its defo the same people just different names

Branching out to British sports cars now.... Maybe (if reports/checks come out ok) that a DECENT spec'C' will be there soon.......

:cry: nope sounds like this one has been in an unrecorded incident.... the first owner on P/H says the second owner possibly crashed it on his journey home (informed via dealer)

Best not trust you as you are WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Useless first post :D

Phew thankgod I read this thread. I'm looking for a Impreza and have seen this place and thought about going. I know I've heard of bad things about Keighley Trade Sports & Performance so this place is just as bad do they clock cars aswell.

It's bad when bladdy dealers are doing this.

If they are soooooooooooooooo bad how come there allowed to keep trading?????????? By the looks of things your best off buying an impreza from Jap Performance. Has anyone heard of MIR Honda who are also in Bradord???????

I'm taking a look at MIR next week. They have a Lancia EVO2 I like the look of (if I don'y buy a P1)

Infact, I'm checking KTC out too - Just to see what the fuss is about.

Theres another Bradford based importer who I thought were quite respectable. However, they have one particular car that I know is completely shafted. They are selling as "PX to clear" but still asking 8K for a bodged repair.

I guess every place gets a lemon from time to time but its what they do with that defines their integrity.

Keighly trade centre are not as bad as people say they are!!

A lot of you know i have my own imports firm (performance centre manchester) and you'd expect me to slag off any competition at any given chance. I used to warn people about KTC due to there reputation and was under the impression that all there cars were sh#t. I was also reluctant to take a part x against a new spec c because the car had come from ktc so the owner had to sell it privately.

Anyway i was up in north Yorkshire a few weeks back and decided to pop down and see what all the fuss was about. To cut a long story short they have a vast variety of cars and cater for everybody including the low end stuff where all the problems occur and the high end stuff which i was very impressed with.
They had a new spec c there with delivery miles in mint condition impreza's ranging from version 1-11 evo's 1-9 integra's civic's drift cars in good and bad condition etc.

All i can say is there not as bad as people make out and if you see something you like there it might be worth the visit if not you can only ways come to me :D

Immy

As I have replied to a similar remark by someone before, I would like to say jsut because they sell rubbish does not mean to say they sell stolen cars or cars with stolen parts.

This si a new one to me and Im sure its safe for me to say, I know of them and their dealings a lot more than most of the people on here.

As a company I personally think they are a set of cowboys but I guess accusing them of using stolen parts is a little lame.

People cant get over the fact that they manage to sell heaps. You have to understand they have a niche market which predominantly consists of people who want to buy a sports car and are not too bothered looking into details

and as they are usually a lot cheaper than the going rate there will always be someone that will buy from them

As always you get what you pay for !
There are some bargains out there, but you can't blame dealers for high prices and poor quality, that's their bread and butter.

Is it any better with some chop-shop bodge by a "private" owner....

Dunx

P.S. When I went there was nothing that would tempt me to part with my hard earnt....

Spot on,

Ive been to KTC but everytime I go there wonder how people would buy them cars. The reality is that people do, hence the reason they had to move into a massive industrial unit.

Did they not have that huge unit to start off with?

When's the last time you went? they had plenty of brandnew cars 4 weeks ago including a spec c v-ltd ,evo 9 mr the new JDM civic type r and a 350z.
They also had a lambo ,gt2 and a few other super cars.

No Immy they didnt have that unit to begin with. They have been here for the last two years id say.

I must admit they do have the odd supercar here and there but if you look, theyll have like 10 white evo 6s, 15 sti version 3s lol they have so many of the same car. And amongst the many cars they have they do have the odd nice one here and there.

Prior to that they were located a few miles away, morecentral Keighley. Their main competition was Beeches who they later bought out and eventually moved into the massive units

can i just say.....i think that slating a company like this is going to get scoobynet into serious **** ! if it was my name you were washing in public (which it isnt thank fcuk) i would go absolutely banana's and have you in the dock with your cheque books at the ready ! this is a company that i haven't heard good stuff spoken but you need to watch what you print ! just my opinion !

Rab you said that perfectly mate. I am critical of the condition on their car but would never go as far as accusing them of selling cars with stolen parts or cars being stolen themselves. Thats going a tad too far Id say

Should be able ta say what you want IMHO. A lot of ppl talk crap about pcm ,but it does not bother me. The only thing i would say is try and take things for face value and make comments from experience and facts.

i think freedom of speech is important and if the person saying the stuff has specific experience or facts then fine but if its hearsay/rumour and " i heard a mate talking about it ! " then thats the stuff that gets s/n into crap when it cant be backed up with facts !

I'm going to have a look around Keighley tomorrow. Can't all be lemons and I'll give the benefit of the doubt till I get there. Although I'll leave my opinions to myself (or PM)

One unrelated but funny thing - I've only read Keighley on here and assumed it was said "Key-lee". I've been asking my wifes parents where key-lee is - never realised its said "keith-lee" oh how we laughed :D
