Highly recommend David Golding Cars to anyone considering buying a secondhand car. We bought a car from David and had some mechanical issues with it (not David’s fault, a 10 year old car). In fairness... See more

Purchased my car from David Golding last November. I found him to be really easy to deal with. He's very professional and courteous. I was really pleased with everything including his after sales customer service. Always available on the phone and happy to answer any questions. Recommended 💯

Buying a car from David Golding Cars…

Buying a car from David Golding Cars was a great experience. I had been looking for a car for a while and I spotted one with a spec I liked for sale, a Mercedes C180 coupe. I sent an email last Thursday enquiring about the car, I received a response within 30 minutes and we agreed on a price and deposit. I paid the deposit that Thursday, paid the balance on the Friday, and by Sunday I had the car. David Golding personally delivered it to my door on Sunday. The car is fantastic, exactly as described, and David was a pleasure to deal with. I would absolutely recommend if you are looking for a good quality car.

I have no hesitation in giving 5 stars

I have no hesitation in giving 5 stars. David was helpful, happy to answer questions / send photos and videos/ and arrange delivery. The whole deal was completed remotely (I am based in the UK) but has been an excellent experience. The car is even better than I expected! I and everyone who has seen the car is impressed by its condition (it is 57 years old). once again good deal, super car, thank you David.

Would recommend without question

David was nothing short of exceptional to deal with. He went above and beyond to make sure both parties were happy with the deal done. Top notch service, on hand to answer any questions I had and did what it took to accommodate my schedule in collecting the car.
Without hesitation, I would recommend David to anyone looking to invest in the classic car market. Easy to deal with and a true gentleman.

I had a very good car I needed to sell.

I had a very good car I needed to sell.

Had it on Done-deal for a few weeks and got dross.

Put it on car buyer and heard from David while I was having a pint. We agreed a price before I finished it and sale was sorted a few days later without any issue.

So, that's the experience as a seller.

I'd never met David before and found it very interesting to watch how closely he examined the car I wanted him to buy from me.

I said to myself I'd buy a car from someone this careful.

If you're prepared to be realistic David is prompt & straight.

I'm not surprised he has such a high rating.

I found David very rude and patronising and extremely unprofessional on all dealings. I just felt like he was trying to rip me off.

As you can see from the reply I just received you can see how unprofessional this man is airing all his dirty laundry on social media ridiculous 😂

Dear Sara,

I see this is a review from your partner Alex Wright.
He or you have never had any dealings with my company so this is a fake review. It is very sad you choose to communicate in this way with your family following the death of your mother.

Ever since your mother died you have been on a campaign of harassment and intimidation against your siblings, their partners and childen. It is not my business to ask why

However I need tell you that I paid for your mothers funeral and whilst I don’t expect any thanks I would ask you to desist from harassing and bad mouthing your family. I would also ask you to remove all the fake and defamatory reviews of my business posted on Trustpilot and Google

Perhaps consider seeing a therapist. It’s a hard time for everybody.

Great experience

I had a great experience buying from David, a very helpful and trustworthy person to deal with.
I would have no problem buying a car from him again or recommend him to friends and family.

no hesitation

I recently bought a car from David and he was courteous, kind and knowledgeable. He went the distance in helping me to get the car in a timely manner. I give him 5 stars as he is extremely competent and would readily recommend him to anyone wishing to purchase.

Bought a car from David a year ago

Bought a car from David a year ago, such a welcoming and knowledgeable man regards what he sells. As he was selling for a client his back and forth negotiations were easy and I feel everyone got the deal they were after.

1 year later car is still faultless and a pleasure to drive

Sale of car

David was excellent from the very start. I wanted to sell my car and he arranged a time for me to visit. He then went on to sell the car successfully.
He was very easy to deal with and was always helpful
Highly recommended

Very happy with this company

Very happy with this company. David was a pleasure to deal with, even down to little glitches I had on my end with the website. The trouble lay with my phone by the way. David gave great assistance, even outside of office hours. What a great world it would be if all humans had this level of care and diligence.
Thanks again for a great service.

David Goulding Motors

David Golding recently sold a vintage Mercedes for me. I found him to be friendly, very efficient and honest in all my dealings with his company. He kept me updated at each stage of the sale and I am delighted to recommend him without reservation.

A pleasure to deal with

Not only was David a pleasure to deal with, but also his videos to demonstrate the cars are excellent. I would highly recommend David if you're thinking of buying a classic car.
