lippydave Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 To be honest I have no idea why a trader would want to deal in kit cars made by individauls in their own garages, the pitfalls of mods, changes and lash ups are out their I am sure , while there are loads of beautifully made cars to great spec , how you pick out some dodgy "upgrades" would be beyond me. I bought a factory built model thinking it would be a) reliable and b) know what bits were on it. Suffice to say when the ECU burnt out it was related to resistance /impedance /injector issues that were incorrectly builtand specified from it's inception. I know the provenance of what I sell , but kit cars Top summary, fully in agreement... Certainly a couple of my pals who are traders won't touch kit cars of any description with a barge pole..... As with everything caveat emptor, but buying a kit car whether from a dealer or privately is potentially a far more fraught exercise requiring IMHO a better technical understanding and a different attitude from a tin top purchase. I would suggest that in the case of a Westie, buying a "well known" car through these hallowed pages is by far the best way for a first time Westie owner who wants to dip their toe into a secondhand one..... 1 Quote
Norman Verona Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 The reason this dealer bought the car to resell is easy...... PROFIT Quote
