Anybody used these before?
There's mixed reviews on the internet but the bad reviews seem to be from years ago rather than recently.
Cheers

Weird, was just looking at a car they've got for sale. Decided against viewing based on Internet reviews of them being total s.

Went to go view an Audi A3 that they had for sale recently for a mate. Nice and well presented showroom, cars were all prepped well and the A3 was exactly as described. Ended up not buying as my mate decided against the extra running costs of the s line and went for a non s line from elsewhere. As traders in Bradford go, they seemed pretty decent. Non of the stereotypical wide boy salesman stuff. From the brief chat I had with the owner it seems they pick out cars with good history and apparently check out the servicw records from main dealers etc before advertising. I wouldn't write them off solely just because they are in Bradford.

Its funny what bad press can do, innit!?

Giblet's pal abviously got the service he was expecting, others didn't. I suppose it goes to show that nothing is black and white.

Apart from Keighley Trade Centre, obv.

I wouldn't touch KTC with yours let alone mine! I can only relay my experience with them, which was far better than other traders I have visited both in Bradford and Leeds.

Bought an Astra GTE 16v from the above mentioned way back in the mid 90's. When filling out the paper work after much haggling about the broken door mirror, noticed something propped up behind the office door that could be used as an extreme form of persuasion !!! Was then offered a lift in a 350zx twin turbo to the nearest cash point. Sure things have changed by now. PM me for more.

Just paid a deposit on the 123d guys. I was going to view it 2/3 weeks ago but got but off by benjj. After viewing a total shed at KTC i decided to view this one at Brownroyd Motors. Ben thanks for waisting 3 weeks of my time and putting smity off the car, the car is nothing short of stunning as are the rest of the stock. The only down fall was i had to wait half an hour for a test drive because they were so busy. I have read there reviews (yell.com) and there is over 30, 5 star reviews. These forums can be excellent at times, however at times you get dreamers (benjj) who clearly cannot afford the car and like writing a total load of s...t which is not helpful to anyone.

Hmm, I'm a dreamer and the Brownroyd Motors stock is a bit beyond my means is it?

1 post too.

Oh, silly me, Hi Mr. Brownroyd!

Hey Ray2812, is it just a mad, wacky coincidence that Brownroyd Motors Twitter account is @BM2812?

Weird that.

Great work, Einstein.

Ok guys, I was going to close this last week as the OP has got a car sorted and I assumed the thread would die a natural death.

Mr Ray, with his first post has seemingly stirred up a hornet's nest, so let's leave it at that please.

Thank you smile
