Absolutely loved buying from this place! Such friendly people with no sales pressure and a great selection of cars! Traveled from Exeter to purchase a car and wasn't disappointed! Car was in great condition as advertised and serviced, MOT'd and cleaned before pick up! Thanks so much Will and Robert!

I have dealt with Colthart Car Sales now on 4 occasions and cannot fault them in any way. They have the personal touch and certainly offer great service with quality cars at a range of reasonable prices with a first class warranty service. Very highly recommended.

Purchased my partners mini countryman from them. Spoke to Will on the phone who was very helpful. Robert dealt with us prior to the test drive, which was a pleasant and hassle free experience. Minor pedantic niggles from the test drive were set straight along with a fresh MOT and fluid change. Both were impartial and honest and made for a seamless sale. Very satisfied with the whole experience and their honesty. It's nice to support a local business.
