Thanks for the replies

i have spoken with Scooby clinic and they know The car and they say it’s quick and reliable but haven’t seen it in a while. Even though you mention it’s done 1500 miles surely even if it has been on track it’s been serviced well with oil changes after a track but only looking at the service history will confirm this

anyone else

whats a 450hp hatch like to drive for a daily?

thanks

Don’t want to jump on the band wagon as it’s a differing topic but I’ve been to Cheshire Performance a few times now to look at cars. Always the same routine. Jump in car, thrash it from cold thinking it will impress you then say it’s well cared for! Plenty of people on here have bought cars from them with both good a bad press. If they had it & ran it for a while I personally would be concerned. More so because I went to view a car they had & asked if a differing car they had was being used locally. They said no, it passed my parents house every day for a week & I saw it parked up outside the same house every night. None of that is damning but it’s not exactly trustworthy or caring for stock in any manner. The car your questioning has of course been bought some time ago and used since so could be a belter. I know again it’s far from damning but every time I’ve been up there they are all dressed like typical pikeys which I personally don’t think reflects well on them. First impressions and all. If they ran it for a while were they doing the servicing on it? That would concern me also. By no means attempting to be negative but you asked so I can only mention what I know of the company.

Well, I live about 10 miles from this dealer and I went in and had a look a few weeks ago. I wasn't in a position to buy anything but I was on the look out for potentials.
I didn't turn it over as I had my 4 year old with me and his car seat wouldn't go in the rear because of the rear harness frame. It did look the business though. The seats were nice and I had no reason to doubt that it had 450bhp. The guy told me
that he had sold it a couple of times in the previous weeks and that the two different people had brought it back because it was "too powerful for normal use" so he had knocked off their £500 deposits.? I swear that it was he told me and it just didn't sound right. That guy seemed pretty young and it appeared that he was trying to just big it up to me...?
Anyways, I decided that I am gonna wait a little longer yet and look into JDMs.

One thing you need to know though...I typed the dealer into google just to put a link on here. I posted about this car a few weeks ago, along with two others.
The main owner is in jail for fraud to do with car sales...and he sons appeared to have only just got off with suspended sentences.
