Keighley Trade Centre...anyone?

[the_boy]

During my usual hunt across the UK I came across this specimen from the aforementioend dealer based in West Yorkshire.

MITSUBISHI GALANT VR4 TIPTRONIC 2.5 V6 280 BHP, R reg. 4WD, twin turbo, import, a/b, PAS, t/s/c/control, AYC, cat 1 alarm, EW, sat/nav, a/w, met silver, p/x/fin/warr. £5,495

Now that seems quite cheap to me although it doesn't state the mileage which could be suspicious. That and you can't tell immediately if it is the 280 or 260 bhp version.

Seems tempting to me, 5 and a half grand for the car plus a full service etc and a Red Zebra warranty. Your still looking at less than 7 grand which is a bargain.

What do you guys/gals reckon? onder:

[Nick VR4]

Mmmm for that sort of ££££'s its worth looking into
Depending on mileage etc
I'm pretty sure it would be a 260bhp aswell

[Brind]

Tiptronic before a facelift is 260bhp.

If it has a Red Zebra warranty jump at it! that should also mean that the car is at least under 100k miles.

For £5,495 you haven't much to lose especially with a warranty.

onder: yeah,thats the add i seen earlier.Does sound a bit cheap dont it onder:

And so my conversation with the Keighley Trade Centre goes something along these lines......

KTC: Hello
Me: Hello is that the Keighley Trade Centre
KTC: Yes INSERT INTO post VALUES (Bored voice)
Me: I am interested in importing a VR-4 Saloon
KTC: Yeah?
Me: I would also like to Part Ex my current Legnum if you do that
KTC: what reg is it?
Me: P
KTC: Well we already have one of those so we wont really be able to help you
Me: Oh
KTC: long pause.........
Me: INSERT INTO post VALUES (cant think of anything else to say) ok thanks bye.

How rude are they !

Is it because I am female ???

Can someone help me out here......
All I want to do is part ex my car for a newer saloon, is that really to much to ask ??????

[Brind]

What's the idea of trading the Legnum in for a saloon?

[lisa]

Want a newer car.

No other reason....
Well other than I feel a bit like a Mum on a school run.
Dont get me wrong I love our Legnum..... and it has been a lot of fun, ohhhh and of course there is the walnut dash and the seats that look like a pub carpet

Is that a good thing? :confused:
Well good luck! I haven't driven a Legnum but it has been said the Legnum is more fun around tight bends.. maybe you could tell us when you buy a Saloon.

Isn't a member here selling one still? http://www.clubvr4.co.uk/forum/showt...&threadid=1267

We will do our best mate ! Has she been out in a VR4 ? If not I will take her out and then she will want one too !

[landy]

Just spotted this thread now.

£5495 for an R reg VR4 ?... Blimey I paid £14000 for mine 12 months ago :eek:

Although it had only done 7k miles and was mint

[jalford]

Did anyone find anything out about KTC?

Was the saloon purchased and if so how did it compare to the Legnum?

Was planning to have a look at KTC this weekend and just wanted to check for any feedback.

[Nick Mann]

I think the general consensus is that they are not big into customer service, the cars are not very well prepared, but if you look hard before you buy there are bargains to be had.

There have been discussions about this pace before - If I stumble accross any I'll post the links here.

[simpsonm]

Friend of mine who lives close by said it looked like a front for a Drugs racket.

[jalford]

Oh dear. Doesn't sound too promising.

It's a 2.5 hour drive each way for me so will have to think carefully about it.

Reckon an AA or RAC inspection will be a must with these guys.

[DaveLee71]

I called them a couple of weeks back and they seemed like they couldn't be arsed, do they want to sell cars or what, anyway found a good place with good customer service and nice cars.
Was a toss up between the two places as they are about the same distance from me.
Strange as well as they had a manual type s estate for £5995 last week and this week it's £8995 I think, bit of a jump!!

Re Red Zebra Warranty, I thought only Mitsubishi dealers could offer that and if KTC sell their own imports then they would not have a car with such a warranty

Unless they took a part ex with a continuing warranty but apart from poor service and poor car prep, they seem unwilling to buy or part ex any vehicles

I may be wrong but be certain it really is a genuine and valid Red Zebra warranty
