As im searching for the right DC5 I went to 2 garages in Bradford.
First garage was call Keyleigh Trade Motor Cars
Here is there website.
http://www.k-t-c.co.uk/12545/index.htm
There was a few other cars that interested me especially a couple of Evo 6's.
I thought wow! They have a great range of sports cars that look in great condition.
How wrong was I!
My dad and I inspected the cars and especially the Evos looked like they had been in a crash. Spoilers flaking, rear bumpers different colours, arches resprayed all to a really poor job.
Orange peel and overspray on the rear end of the one I really liked.
Further inspection to a lot of other cars would suggest theyve been bodged back together.
Just wondering if anyone has any views or past experiences with them?

The other garage I went to was called WRC that had some lovely cars just £2k overpriced.
For a lovely T reg evo 6, 3 months warranty, 6 months tax, 1 year mot the guy wouldnt budge from £8800 even though the car needed a service and cambelt change!
I offered £8400 and the guy said £8600 without warranty. I said no chance and walked away.
The car had been there for 4 months!

I wouldn't touch any car from Keyleigh Trade Motor Cars with a bargepole. If you search the internet you will find many reviews about this garage :D Id steer clear Tommy. What happened with the one you were going to pick up?

I have wise people that assist me Kenny and your one of them =)
Keyleigh are absolutely awful. Sammy if you can link me Im intrigued to some of peoples comments =)
WRC's cars were really lovely. Just way over priced.
Theres a bit of hope and fingers crossed I can get the right car.
Just as Ken and my dad are saying to just take my time as Im in control with the cash.

I hear they import accident damaged cars over to the uk, Fix them up and sell them here.

Heard loads of bad press about them.

As said steer clear

Keyleigh and WRC are one and the same now. Some good cars, some awful ones unfortunately.

stay well clear of them mate, in fact most of the import 'specialists' (loose term) around that area are owned by Keyleigh just a re-named company as KTC has so many bad reviews on the internet now

i would look around the owners forums for a nice clean DC5, if you are looking for a company to import you a car try www.privateimports.co.uk, import the best quality cars around you will get a minter from them
