Hopefully someone associated with them has bought it, and it'll go up in a ball of flames with them in it. Fingers crossed.

Lloydee, if you didn't know basically KTC have an abysmal record on here; for both customer service and the quality of their cars. Hence the comment

To be fair their trade-ins are likely to be better, than their stock....

Agreed, their newer cars "seem" to be not that bad. I'd still not risk it though!

I live just down the road ( about 3 mile away ) and I havent seen it around. They do have a couple of nice motors in every now and again - but I would dread to see what has happened to them previously.

I once bought a car from them ( clio 182 ) and got it very cheap as it needed a new cat.
£80 quid on a new cat and the car was more then fine. I only got shut of it cos it was too small......... so got a scoob .

You really need to know what your looking at when visiting KTC.
Some of the worst examples of imports in the country.
Tried shifting a dead turbod scoob onto me during my visit.
However walked away with a mint 555 V-Limited RA. Gravel Tyre choice was a bit weird though.
Just be VERY careful, there's some real ****e.
Most have damaged dashes and many parts are held on with cable ties as previously mentioned.

Mangled sh£te like that & e.g the rubbish blue chavved up Spec c on pistonheads (doing the rounds once again!) only ruin the car's image & devalue the prices artificially.
