lippydave Posted March 3, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The reason this dealer bought the car to resell is easy...... PROFIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
