Dodgy Advertisements..
Have been noticing lots of ads from Keighly Trade & Performance in Autotrader latey.
I only came across them after a mate decided he wanted to get a Subaru as well (no doubt from my constant chatter about em) and pointed me in the direction of several ads in this weeks online Autotrader.
One particular one caught my attention:
They are asking £15k I think.. but that advert just looks wrong, also take a look at this particular image:
Something tells me thats not an engine thats done 5000, more like 50,000 miles!
After reading some of the posts on here about Keighley I am going to assume:
1. They import crash damage/stolen recovered vehicles and knock them off as new imports or UK cars
2. They buy clapped out high milers and digitally clock back the mileage (not hard to do)
3. They are like the plague and should be shutdown
Any opinions on the above?
Adios,
Fz

I went down there last week and test drove an impreza wrx sti ppp in blue with the graphics the car smelt horrible inside and the guy who worked there was taking corners at 80mph on an industrial estate!! safe to say i didnt buy it!
They do however have some really nice cars to look in the showroom but you do get the gut feeling that most things are dodgy. Outside they have a line of old subarus and theres not one with out slashed tyres or cracked windscreens etc
I would from personal experiance not buy a car from there at all im sure most people would agree that have seen there stock outside
