about a year ago all I can advise is take your time :| have some idea of what you are looking for and stick to it personally for me it was Full Service history and a clean looking car I saw some right states when I was looking and its a buyer market at the moment so plenty of choice things to look out for are clutch, radiator, and timing belt if your not sure about a car then walk away there are plenty out there!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I wouldn't have a car from there if they gave me it. Me and a couple of mates went up to have a look at what they've got, when we got there the first thing we saw was an Evo with no drivers door lock and wires hanging down from the steering column :shock: . Not the kind of establishment i'd be looking to buy anything from.

I wouldnt touch anything of theirs with a huuuuuuge barge pole!

They are very very poor examples, and i saw them spraying up parts of car is their "showroom" with spray cans.
They also use insulating tape and tie wraps to hold on bits of the body....its like a graveyard for cars!

Do they still have the big comedy yellow Lexus in corner? That thing's ridiculous.

I cant explain why they charge so much, probably to rip off the inexperience of some other enthusiasts.

Buying cheap from KTC is a false economy you *will* end up spending lots more fixing all the 'issues' they seem to supply with each car.

Read the other Japanese car forums and you'll get the idea :)
