Question WRC Sales Braford - opinions?

Hi folks,

Just as title says. I know they have bought over Keighley who have a rather *ahem* colourful reputation on here. Was wondering if WRC themselves are ok? Looking at a car they have at the moment.

Cheers

Probably going to upset the locals but if the add says Bradford or West Yorkshire and in particular if the car is an import then I wouldn't bother.

WRC sales - looked at two cars. One had front left damage, the other I can't begin to tell you what was wrong with it (I even first saw the car for sale in Cardiff!) but a bent B pillar probably says as much as it needs.

MIR - Looked at a Lancia EVO2 - I know Lancias aren't known for their robust build but my 7 year old daughter paints better than whoever painted that thing.

Not worth the risk with any of them.

theres 2 people on uklegacy.com who have purchased leggy twin turbo estates from wrc and both are not running properly one has maf issues and rather than put a new one on there using other cars in stock and replacing them but there faulty too the other one is overheating bet your glad you asked on here first most of there cars have had a varied past and not as described.

A mate got a V6 type R from them and you could tell it had been stripped of performance parts and hadnt been put back together well at all, found out later it could have been in a smack on the front too

A friend of mine bought a integra DC5 from there, was mint no problems atal. Only issue was the exhaust was rattling against the rear bumper as it had a kit fitted and they fixed it for free, think they give a 1 year warrantee. Even helped him to sell the car on when he wanted to get rid of it again.

West Yorkshire isn't bad. But I would not recommend a car from Bradford...iv been stung from there in the past and would never buy a car from there. Car mileage has been clocked. People make fake service history documents and even fake MOT certs. Not a place I would visit. As for keighley trade cars. I went a few years ago and he had some garbage but apparently he's improved a fair but over the last few years. He's a millionaire he's not bothered if you buy his cars or not. Not good customer service
