From what I've read on this forum over the years.
I wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

Wouldn't touch them. Previously know as Keighley Trade center. When I was looking around for a new car I saw they had some tempting deals but a few minutes googling (and a word from Tim Farmer and the guys at Zen) made me realise that taking a punt on a vehicle chosen at random from ebay would be a better bet.

As much as I agree with what has been said, I actually live 30 minutes away from them, and I have bought a car from them around 10 years ago which turned out to be a good motor.


They have risen from £2'000 - £20'000 Japanese imports with the odd other marque to what is now a zest of everything, and I mean everything.


They have moved premises several times to cope with the growth, and they are now in a multi-storey car park, which I would imagine holds around 500-700 vehicles. First impression I had a few months ago once you walk past the "lifting arm barrier" (that you associate with car parks), is a Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren 675, Porsche RS3 etc etc.


You work your way up the ramps and your typically halving the screen price of the cars to eventually getting on the top floor where they keep the ex cab Avensis for a grand+




Would I buy a car from them now - yes but do so with caution, but then who buys a car without caution unless its from a friend or a trader you know!
