anyone live near the above place?

i have spotted a motor im interested in,but there is no pictures on the web advert,so i need to make sure its the right "model" before i drive around two hours each way

if anyone can help,and is local to darlaston,the car is at CARCRAFT,so no shady little back street shopping required

please pm me if you are local and fancy a little detective work

cheers mark

 

I don't think this car is what you think it is! I've also been looking at this. Rang them tonight to get someone to check it's definitely a WR1. They came back with yes and it's grey!! Also checked the DVLA website and it is shown as being grey while all other WR1's are identified as being blue.

Be wary as I've had this problem with this company before. Travelled over an hour each way to find out an STI was actually a WRX!!

 

thats why i am asking a favour matey,same problem as you,i went to look at an "sti" in leeds,met black,turned out to be a wrx with gold alloys on

Not please at all,i tell ya

 

Yep, know what you mean. I wasn't over the moon either! My heated discussion didn't seem to make much difference either as the car was still on their website as an STi two weeks later, un-sold surprisingly!!

So, we need a volunteer to go down there and give them some aggro if it isn't what we already really know it isn't.

 

Registration number CN04 HRG (stated as WR1 on carcraft's website) according to the DVLA is a 5 door hatchback!!!

 

Might have a big flashy premises but still strike me as a shady little back street dealers. Went to the one in Wednesbury when looking for a car for the missus, wandered round for a while, realised what a clueless bunch of idiots worked there, and quickly became fed up of the high pressure sales technique. We just wanted to browse but couldn't do that with being followed around by salesmen desperate to get a sale to increase their commision bonus. Walked out again within about 20 minutes.

 

what a bugger,i was all packed ready to roll,A 2004 wr1 with 18000 miles on the clock for just over 15 grand,

oh well

 

I'd avoid Carcraft to be honest, when I was looking for a Saxo I went there (Sheffield). They wanted more for a 4 year old one than an brand new one from Citroen cost!!! Plus the new one was better spec! I don't think they are good places for deals, but are good places for looking at different cars for a nosey. They helped put me off the new Astra and onto the Scoob.
I also didn't like how you had to walk past the sales people to get in, they had tables that you sat down at and they took your details before you could browse.

 

Carcraft's nickname is 'Carcrap'. I wouldn't buy anything from them.

 

carcraft aint got a clue .they charge way over the odds i only go there to look at the models and specs i may be interested in and get a test drive.they have plenty of stock to look at but i wont ever buy from there.and the high pressure tactics they use are to much .stick it out one will turn up for you

 

Carcraft is for people who cant get credit, massive rates and dealers who dont know a thing about their stock

 

just like YES CAR CREDIT

 

I REALLY miss those adverts.............I could have done things for that little blond in green and yellow

Alcazar

 

not interested in a dealer history lesson guy's

just wanted to know if indeed that wr1 advertised was a wr1 and not some other model

And who need's finance to buy a car

 

At that price it seems unbelievable, and it probably is.

Can't you get them to email you a pic?
If not, go through the WR1 spec and confirm the details.

But if it's grey, it's not a WR1

Sounds like a 'Petter Solberg' to me ...so just a 'gay' coloured Sti
