Rich,

Not heard brill reports about Keighley.  Other people may have dealt with them and been fine but personally I would\'nt.  Have a look but just go there with your eyes open and makes sure your heart doesn\'t rule your head!!  Never heard of the other place.

Hi mate, i have been over there a few times to look at a skyline and to look at FD\'s

My advise is stay clear, they are cheap for a reason, i looked at 4 fd all had prev accident damage in japan, no paper work to support auction grades ect....

I test drove a FD it had loads of problems

There are loads of reccomended dealers on here, Plus there are normally some pretty good motors being sold privatley.

Best of luck finding a good un.

DON\'T GO NEAR KEIGHLEY TRADE CENTRE !!!

Bunch of cowboys. I drove there from Durham, which took plenty enough time, and out of the two cars I saw one had half it\'s engine missing, the other had screwdriver marks around the lock where someone had made a good attempt at breaking into it. I said to the guy \'is this stolen recovered ?\'. He said \'well you don\'t expect a new car for that price do you?\'.
Beeches were a bit better. They didn\'t want to take me for a test drive at first until I stood firm, and then the owner\'s son took me out and he pushed the car a little, you don\'t normally race motorbikes on test drives. Still, when I broached the subject of 65k and dead engines, they didn\'t really have a clue what I was talking about (usually it\'s me that doesn\'t have a clue).

If you want to invest money in a really decent FD expect to put in a bit of time, effort, and distance. I ended up buying mine near Sevenoaks at a company I would recommend to anyone.

Mart.

Thanks Mart. They are definetly crossed off the list now.

I\'ve contacted Brian Ellis (not heard back yet) and Miguel @ Newera. Also been in contact with a few people on here selling so its looking like they are my best bet of a good car.

I guess used car centres have a lot of bad examples.

I think most used car centres dont really know what they are looking at, or they have got a really cheap import which a crap auction rating and are trying to sell it on for max dosh.

Either way there seems to be a no of reputable people here that will get you a good un.

We\'ve all just picked a type of car that you have to be extra careful with, that\'s all !
I visited Brian, actually at his home, and he had a lovely motor that we went out in, just a bit too raucous for me.
I travelled to Aberdeen and Southampton in my search, so just don\'t rush yourself !!!
Buying from another member of the club is always a good idea, at least you\'ll know it\'s been taken care of.

I bought mine from Miguel at Newera.  Top company.  Buy their DVD, Skylines & Skyscrapers if you want an idea of how they work. I did and it put my mind at ease parting with the money! Miguel is a member on this forum so he is always available to have a chat with and he owns a lovely RX7 himself.  He knows what to look for when buying and can see the tell tale signs of one without genuine mileage.
