"Brought a wreck! "

An absolute con man! Do not buy from this company. Sean sold me a car which was a wreck from the start and he didn't care that it was all we could afford to buy it. Go to a proper reputable garage where their word and warranty is worth the paper it's written on!

"Do not leave a deposit on a car!"

Left a deposit prior to purchase as the car needed 3 items fixed and MOT. When it went through for its MOT, it needed 11 repairs and failed the MOT! Consequently I no longer wished to purchase it, as they had already taken over 4 weeks to get to the failed MOT stage. They refuse to refund my £500 deposit, despite it being their fault it was not available for purchase. Do not purchase from this firm at any cost?

1st choice from 1st Choice Cars in response to Do not leave a deposit on a car!

This review relates to a car that we agreed to sell . The vehicle was a classic car but needed a fair amount of work done prior to collection. The purchaser was fully aware that the work needed doing prior to us, releasing the vehicle. This naturally took a period of time, however, the purchaser was not prepared to wait. All of the items were addressed on the MOT. And we made it clear they would be . We also made it clear that the contract stated that if the customer decided to not proceed they would lose there deposit.. The car was subsequently repaired and sold to another purchaser, who is delighted with it. Deposits are left for a reason. If we believe the deposit is refundable, we will, however, on this instance, we could see no grounds to refund it.

My daughter has just purchased a car from this company and has exactly the same issue could you please tell me the route you went down has they do not want to know

Anonymous in response to Poor service poor car. Do not use!

Steve, we sought legal advice from CAB. Then got trading standards and DVSA involved. I would recommend your daughter seeks legal consumer advice from CAB.

So easy working with Sean and the team. Sean offered a good price for my car and arranged payment and collection of the car in a seamless way. Working with Sean removes all the hassle of trying to sell a car privately. I would highly recommend 1st Choice as a business to trade with. Many thanks Sean and the team. Richard.
