Default Hurst Cars

Anyone had any dealings with Hurst Cars in Bedford?

Looking to change my WRX in the new year and they always seem to have a good selection of quality JDM and UK cars.

Prices seem a tad high but then they are a dealer so it's to be expected.

Just wondering if anyone has bought from them and if so how was the car / customer service.

Bought my type r about 18 months ago then part chopped it back to them a year ago for the S202. Can't fault Max, he is as honest as the day is long and he told me stuff about both cars that I would never have known.

I don't think you'll go far wrong. Andy

Got my Hawkeye Spec C from Max a few months back and I am very happy with it. Also Max bought my V6 STI Type RA off me a few months before that and made it a very smooth deal. Give him a call to arrange a viewing - from what I could see he only deals in quality examples.

Bought my wrx sti ppp off him 4 weeks ago no messing about straight to the point, car sold itself! Not what I expected when I arrived! The place is somewhat hidden rightly so.

Nice bloke can recommend, save wasting time with people talking rubbish!

Thanks again, can't believe we have 100% positive comments. I was half expecting at least one 'don't touch him with a barge pole' post in true scoobynet style!

I've not bought off him so far, but every post I've ever seen about him on this site has been positive. There aren't many used car dealers you can say that about.

I was very close to buying a car from him, he seemed like a really good guy on the 'phone. The only reason I didn't buy the car was because it sold before I could get to him.

Glad I read this, it's a minefield out there especially with these cars. I've never known such a complex marque to try and research. Hurst's always seem to have some great cars in stock. Just wish I wasn't so far away. Hopefully I will be having a trip down there soon.

It was a five hour round trip for me plus 1 hour looking at the car, took the money bought the car,

It seemed a distance at first but nothing compared to numerous wasted trips looking at wrecks!

I know a few people who have bought cars from Max and I've only ever heard very good reports.
