I recently bought an A6 AllRoad from David at Moore Cars but I've held off leaving a review, as because of lockdown I've hardly had chance to drive it anywhere. Anyway, now having had to drive to Cornwall and back within 24H (for work) I can say I'm ecstatic with the car and the whole buying process with David was great. His buyer (Graham) must have a good eye as I was very close to buying a second vehicle (Fiesta ST) but sadly I missed out!
EDIT: I've now also just sold a car (12' plate Mini Cooper D) to David for a fair price. He collected it which made life nice and easy for myself. Can't wait

Great service before, during and after the purchase. I had a truly great experience and I am completely satisfied on the car I bought (which was listed for a very competitive price too!). The owner is very nice and has been always helpful (even with questions I made after buying the car). Highly recommended!

Lovely honest man! Was so friendly and couldn't help us enough. We had never been to the area before and he gave us directions into Harrogate Town centre to go for a coffee after viewing a car. Would recommend to anyone! We cannot wait to pick up our new car

What a great car buying experience. David is the friendliest car salesman I have come across and made it a pleasure to part with my hard earned cash. I spent a little more than I had planned but with a little negotiation bought a different car than the one I went to see, a great car at a good price.

Sold my car to David and I couldnt recommend him enough. He made the process simple and quick, wasnt even there 30 minutes. Top service and friendly attitude, would happily go back to him again for buying and selling a car.

I cannot fault Davids customer service at all, incredibly patient and helpful, made the entire buying process very easy to understand and always answered any questions I had. This was my first car purchase in 10 years and couldn't have had a better person to deal with.
