    Thumbs up Newby in West Yorkshire

    Hi,

    I'm looking at geting myself a Legnum. I've had a quick nose about on some of the threads, and notice that there's mention of a Jap "dealer" in Keighley, and judging by some of the comments, they don't sound too favourable. Can anyone tell me who to avoid, and where is recomended to look for a Legum?

    Welcome to CVR4.
    Lots of dealers around the area, some good, some bad.
    Keithley have a bad reputation, my advice would be to look at as many cars and dealers as you can.
    See my pics at,

    Thanks FLix

    I've been looking on Autotrader. There's 6 for sale, and 4 of them are from the Keighley dealer!

    Also......can anyone recommend a good insurer? I've had quotes of around £850 for comprehensive with protected bonus. I only have 4 yrs NCB, as my 'other' bonus of 10 years + is on my bike policy (which will sadly have to go if I do buy a Legnum....boo-hoo)

    Possibly the only former owner of Black Legnum VR4 with Manual shift & Moonroof who now owns a Hamilton Silver Galant.

    Ebony & Ivory in Scunthorpe normally have a few in. They'll be on Autotrader and E-bay. Got mine from there and pleased with the car.
    They seem quite receptive to requests before the deal is done so don't be afraid to hassle them. I got them to re-spray the front bumper for free (it had a crack in the paint: presumably from the boat trip).
    After-sales service wasn't the best: they fitted a cheapo speedo converter that was faulty and expected me to do a 400 mile round trip for them to replace it 'free of charge'. They do seem to be prepared to fix things though if there's a problem and, when I pushed the 400 mile thing and enquired if they sell turbo timers, they gave me one for free and offered to fit it for my trouble.
    I think they're generally pretty good but you do need to look over their cars and check them thoroughly, just as anyone would really.

    Thanks for all the help and advice. I've decided that now is not the time to be buying a vr4 I just wouldn't be able to give the care and attention that it would deserve... Although it doesn't alter the fact that I still want one - just not yet. (at least I still get to keep my bike, and therefore satisfy my vraving for speed!!!)

    I'll keep popping in here from time to time, and hopefully get to meet one or two of you. (whether that's at a meet or if I'm gold plating your bedges)


    The voices told me to do it........
