Keith and the team at the Care Warehouse have been absolutely spot on throughout the process of getting our car. Initially responding quickly to my queries on their stock and process through to after sales care when the car we bought developed a minor fault (we bought a 15 year old car) and the best course of action to fix it with the least impact to us. If you're thinking of importing something interesting to drive I cannot recommend them enough.

First time I have bought an import from Japan and it was German. Keith was very helpful and let us test drive and poke around the car for 90 mins. Everything was straight forward and he made it very easy. Highly recommend a browse of there website. The condition of the cars coming from a place where salt isn't used on the road is unbelievable. Even though more than 10 years old my car is better than a car just several months old in the UK.

People were friendly enough. Just be sure to make an appointment. Didn't get to view the car I was interested in as I just turned up while working near by and didn't have an appointment

I bought a JDM car from them and overall had a very good experience but after a few months of ownership of the vehicle, a lot of issues starting cropping up. Some of them will have been present when the vehicle was first sold to me. Due to the fact that I bought this car during the COVID-19 pandemic, I didn't see the car before buying it. (Yeah, rookie mistake - lesson learned.) The vehicle I bought looked clean on the photos and fair enough it is a nice example however the were a lot of problems which popped up whilst driving the car for the first few months. They are as follows: - The windscreen wipers were ruined - The windscreen washer fluid was like milk - The windscreen washers themselves (front) were not working properly - The boot area has a huge leak (still present) - The car somehow passed the MOT even though the windscreen wipers and washers were pretty much ineffective and there were no advisories - The rear bumper has a metal plate on top to protect the paint when loading the boot, the plate is bent and out of shape and has damaged the paint on the tailgate - The number plates were mounted badly. - The tyres despite having good tread; were 19 years old with a date code of 1401 The most concerning thing about this is how it passed an MOT because it was not roadworthy. This dealership which specialises in imported vehicles should test their vehicles thoroughly before sale to ensure they are fully roadworthy. A rear wheel drive car with 19 year old tyres is a recipe for disaster. Luckily I caught on to it quickly and replaced them without wrapping myself and the car around a lamppost on a wet roundabout. Overall the experience itself was fine but the car had a lot of simple problems which should have been fixed before sale.

( Stock number 025022R ) In UK Stock VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 1.8 CONVERTIBLE CABRIOLET * RARE ORIGINAL 1987 WHITE 1.8 SMALL BUMPER EDITION * A convertible version of the Golf was presented to Volkswagen's management by coachbuilder Wilhelm Karmann GmbH as early as 1976. This early prototype lacked the roll-over bar of the later version, and had a flat body line in the rear, where the soft top folded down below the sill level.[56]The production version of the convertible Golf was designated Type 155. In Europe and Canada it was called the Golf Cabriolet, while in the United States it was sold as the Rabbit Convertible until the 1985 model year. As the Rabbit was replaced by the Golf II in the United States, the Mark 1 Cabriolet was renamed simply "Volkswagen Cabriolet" (without either the Golf or Rabbit nameplate).[57] The Cabriolet was sold from 1980 to 1994. It had a reinforced body, a transverse roll-over bar, and a high level of trim. From stamping to final assembly the Mk1 Cabriolet was built entirely at the Karmann factory. Volkswagen supplied engines, suspension, and interior trim for Karmann to install. The tops, of vinyl or cloth, were heavily insulated, with a heated glass rear window. The top was raised and lowered manually until 1991, when it became electrically operated.The body of the Cabriolet did not change through the entire production run except for a larger fuel tank. It kept the pre-1980 style of rear lamp clusters. A space saver spare wheel was fitted from the outset, including 1978 pre-production models, unlike the saloon which did not adopt this until 1984. All Cabriolets from 1988 on left the factory fitted with a "Clipper" bodykit that featured smooth body-coloured bumpers, wheel-arch extensions, and side skirts.Prior to the 1984 model year the highest standard specification Cabriolet was the GLI, which was essentially a GTI in all but name. It was only in late 1983 with the introduction of the 1984 model that an officially badged GTI version of the cabriolet finally became available.Cabriolet special editionsSpecial editions of the Cabriolet included the Etienne Aigner, Carat, CC / Christmas ( all white ) , Wolfsburg, and Best Seller models.
