Cheeky question - do you live near "Keighley"?!

[Kitt]

I'm on the search for an early 996 convertible but only have a maximum of £14,500 to spend.

I've seen the following car advertised but it's a 3.5 hour drive from where I live:-

Does anyone live near "Keighley Sports & Performance" at Crosshills, Keighley who'd be willing to have a look at this to see if it's worth me travelling up for a proper look []

I'm willing to pay []

Nowhere near that place, but if you can afford a little more, this one, from the same dealer, looks nice... http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_popup.jsp?did=12545&pageid=5&originalid=&gid=nogroup&tid=20&start=8&distance=0&adcategory=cars&channel=DEALERPAGE&id=200942343861587

Thanks mate, sounds like a "dog"!! My search continues ...

I'm near and don't mind taking a look but be advised the dealer asn't got the best reputation.

 

[IanG]

I have also never heard anything positive about this dealer's reputation either.

I looked at a car there a few months ago, I didn't buy!!!! I am no expert but the car screamed don't buy me! I ended up buying from Motorhouse at Shipley. I paid more, but an uncomperable car. Hope this helps, Debbie

 

[silvermilnec]

Motorhouse are good guys, usualy a tad more expensive but better to pay a bit more and get a good car, good luck with the search.

 

[Clarinsred]

Yes Motorhouse were great, they even put up with me fussing around the smallest details... Debbie

 

[Kitt]

Thanks all, I'll keep on looking ......

Kitt i do know someone who bought a silver 996 cab from Strasse a few months ago and now want's a C4s would you like me to get some details? He bought it from Strasse and they don't sell rubbish. I have seen it and all in all looks a good buy and it could be cheap, well cheap compared to what he paid Strasse for it! Let me know.
