If that is a genuinely decent car it would have gone by now I would have imagined...on the other hand why couldnt they have a good car I mean they cant all be bad can they? There reputation could be putting people off from buying a truly special car.

I have noticed that they have a S-GT as well that has fallen from £18k to £13k as no one will buy it. Why is that? If I could afford that right now I would love that car and it is a bargain price for 1,500 miles.

There will be a reason they are trying to sell their cars cheap, and it isn't just because people won't buy from them

Probably not even registered in the UK yet so new owner will probably get the import duty/Tax to pay on top of the screen price and it will probably break before you get it home.

All i would say is NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

if you know about cars go and have a look it won't hurt, if you haven't got a clue better to contact juggers on here as he owns a car centre in Manchester and Yorkshire and he brings heaps of cars over. or you can also try litchfield who also have a good rep

i went up there to look for a Zafira that they had advertised, they do have some pretty amazing cars there, but the whole place inc the cars have a faint stench of dodgy-ness, needless to say i didn't buy the Zaffy, and i won't be going back ANY time soon.

Went up there to look at v5 type R few years back, The airbag in the steering wheel had been deployed, and he told me that there had been no front end impact, it had been set off on the boat by accident, with this, panel gaps the size of the grand canyon and the faint smell of fresh paint, I walked away.

a fair few years ago, before i knew of this place. Myself and a mate drove about 100 miles to Keighley to check out a 200sx he was considering buying. We had a wander about and looked at a few different cars. It was late in the day, and i saw the dogs bodies playing football inside the warehouse building. They where not bothered about smaching the ball of a fairly new evo and a few skylines. They were just hammering the ball about at the cars.

Now i know a football is not going to do major damage but i could not help thinking "if they are willing to do this while potential buyers are here, what are they doing when there is no one here".

Another thing that struck me, is they had little knowledge about jap cars themself. At the time I was looking for a Honda. It was a specific car, I believe it was a del sol vti or something simular and they had very little knowledge about them considering they sell them.

I would not even look at a car that had been anywhere near this place.

Shaun your right getting a bit dsylexic in my old age

"Very Rare 2.0 WRX STi Version 10 Type-RA Spec-C V-Limited Light Weight JDM Model"

it did say Type RA but that was only a blobeye and the Hawkeye was a RA-R so Advert was wrong either way


It neither a RA or RA-R but looks like a V-LTD by the seats

I'd ask them what Export Auction Grade was you'll find they won't reply as the low miles is due to it being in a Japanese bodyshop for most of it's life LOL

IMHO
