The Perfect Dealership to buy your Disco
Visited as I was recommended by a friend. Sean and Michael were a great help. Understood what I wanted and had a couple of options to suit.
Good communication throughout the purchase and really accommodating with my requests.
Have been back since and the full team have been a fantastic help.
Would definitely recommend others visit for their next car.
Thanks to the team. I'm loving my Disco ??

My Volvo XC90 car purchase
I found Sean a very honest and approachable person. My car after purchasing it had s couple of issues that we’re all sorted to my satisfaction. Would certainly use Sean again
July 17
I purchased a car from 1st Choice 4 months ago. The car itself is in near perfect condition and although there was a fault with the car Sean (who I believe may be the manager) paid for the replacement part. All the staff have been helpful and professional and I would recommend this garage. I don't buy cars very often so was nervous about purchasing the car, but all the paperwork speaks for itself and the car has been reliable.
I bought two cars this year from the guys at 1st cars the being an Audi Q7 back in may, the second purchase was my stunning Audi S5 they had some gorgeous cars to choose from and was helpful again just like my first visit nothing was to much trouble. I have had the car just over a week now and love it.
Sean and his team are fantastic and would recommend anyone to pop into there well stocked showroom no horrible sales tactics just good friendly service.
Picked up a car which went wrong in the first 15 minutes. They took it back with no quibble, sorted the problem and also fixed a couple of other issues they found. They loaned me another similar car whilst they resolved the problems and kept me updated every step of the way. Cars do go wrong but it is how a dealership deals with it. I cannot fault how 1st Choice Cars dealt with this.
Found 1st Coice Cars on the internet. They have a large selection of Landrover Discovery's called in to view them. Did a deal with Sean good trade in on my car. A couple of issues with new car. Soon sorted by Sean. Would I buy another car from them. Yes I would!
At first I was a bit reluctant to use an independent garage but 1st Choice cars have shown me they can be trusted and even be better value for money. I absolutely love my new car and know I made the right choice. All the staff were professional and couldn't do enough to help me. I definately recommend them
My experience in the past has not been that good so it was refreshing to find a used car dealer that was professional in every respect. No sales pressure, plenty of opportunity to view and drive car and fair PX deal. The premises are exactly what you would expect from a professional business and the proprietor/staff a pleasure to deal with. Early days to comment on reliability of the vehicle purchased but I am optimistic bearing in mind the way in which it was presented.
This is our 2nd buy from this garage, very helpful people, not to pushy as some salesman can be. If looking again will (hopefully not too soon) will always come back here first.
Great service great value
Just bought a Discovery 4 from Sean and his team and am delighted with the vehicle. They got the car prepped and in great condition for me Very happy - thank
A big thankyou to Sean and the team, a very professional experience throughout! The car is amazing, we haven't stopped smiling since!!
The dealer principle was very accommodating and provided for my specific list of requirements exactly. The service that i received was to a high standard and personal, being more than on par with a large main dealership. The vehicle is a good 2nd hand vehicle and appears to be everything that i expected. so far so good.
Overall I have been pleased with the experience and would recommend buying a vehicle from this company/dealer.
1st Choice is the Best Choice!What a lovely surprise to receive a smart looking and beautifully valeted BMW Z4 on saturday 5th for my birthday from my husband at 1st Choice Cars Faringdon! The car was gleaming and decorated with a bow and banner! And I was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers!
Sean and his staff are very helpful and professional. Brilliant service.
Thank you 1st Choice for making my Birthday extra special!!
"Sean, Bobby and their team sold and renovated a Mercedes 350SL to a high specification. Providing me with a beautiful car that is now a family treasure, their passion for classic cars comes through in the everything they do."
I purchased my company`s new BMW from 1st Choice last week. I found their staff really helpful and clued up on customer service, very helpful when showing me around the car and going through all of the ancillaries. They were more than happy to spend time explaining the finance details and the available warranty's.
The car was absolutely spotless and gleaming ready for collection.
The best dealer I've experienced
From start to finish, 1st Choice absolutely nailed it. I've never experienced such high quality service and professionalism. I doubt I'd buy a car from anywhere else in the future. Top class. Five stars.
I bought my beautiful car from 1st Choice Cars earlier this month and what a car it is!
I'm extremely fussy with cars and was stuck between the choice of 3 models - I spoke with a lovely guy called Sean, he was fantastic, helped me narrow down what exactly what I wanted all within the price range too!
I would recommend anyone who looking for value for money, good quality and great customer service from start to finish...I even had a beautiful bunch of flowers too!
Thank you 1st Choice Cars - I will be back in the future,
I purchased the car last week and happy to date! Initial calls to 1st Choice Cars were dealt with promptly and Sean, Michael and Andy were extremely friendly, helpful and professional throughout. A recommendation to use the garage in the first place and happy to pass that on.
Always cautious about buying on the internet but decided to give it a go as First Choice Cars Oxfordshire had a beautiful Jaguar xf for sale.After a 70 mile journey we arrived and there was the Jaguar on display it was stunning all clean and valeted like a new car.We were greeted with a cup of tea and then shewn over the car.After the paperwork was sorted in a professional way,we returned home.Before leaving .the bunch of flowers for the wife from 1st choice cars was the icing on the cake. Thank you Sean
We were very pleased with the service we received from Salesman Michael. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable regarding our new Discovery 3 TDV6SE and my Wife was extremely pleased with her beautiful bouquet of flowers.
We would definitely recommend 1st Choice cars
From the moment I reached out to Sean and his team I was met with an instant warm and helpful welcome. I was invited down to the showroom and everything about the vehicle was explained in detail (no rushing at all). Michael took me out for a test drive and gave me more finer details of the cars details. I was super impressed by the condition and way the car was presented and decided right there that I would purchase. I returned a few days later and the car had been cleaned, MOT'd and serviced and drove away that morning. The lovely flowers for my partner were a lovely touch. Can't recommend 1st Choice enough. Everyone was ultra helpful and lovely to deal with and more importantly the car goes like a dream. A big thanks to Sean and the wonderful team.
I am extremely pleased with my new Land Rover Discovery, it arrived at my home, on time, in lovely condition, very clean and tidy with all the points I raised at the purchase having been attended to. Sean was very easy to talk to and made the purchaser easy and hassle free. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for a Land Rover as they have a huge stock and were very helpful and professional from beginning to end.
Thanks for great sale purchase Sean's
Range Rover Vogue
Very Happy
A relaxed unpressured purchase where people were there to help, but you didn't feel like someone was 'hovering'. Purchase negotiation was also straight forward and of course I was very happy with the vehicle.
This is the second time I have bought from 1st choice in the last year. Through both episodes the team has been thoughtful, helpful and professional. I thoroughly recommend 1st choice car
Sometimes life circumstances change, i needed to downsize and release some money. I did not want to mess around selling and being without transport etc. Shaun was very polite and proffessional he looked at my car told what it was worth, I looked touched and drove the Peugeot. We agreed the purchase price the paperwork was completed and I drove away in the new car. A smooth and seamless service.
I recently purchased a Range Rover Sport from this garage, the staff were friendly and very helpful keeping me informed throughout. On collection of the car, the car was clean and tidy and ready to drive out the door. Since having the car they have checked to make sure everything is ok and I am happy with my purchase and have been happy to help with any question and query that I have had.
On viewing the website, there was a large choice of cars with informative write up about the vehicle and lots of pictures. We sent an email and had a prompt response from Sean who phoned and talked through what we were looking for and advised on the cars available. On visiting the garage, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable without pushing for a sale. We are thrilled with our purchase.
From the first phone call to driving the car away, there was no hassle and good straight forward dealings. The car was bought sight unseen, and his description was 100%. I thoroughly recommend this dealer.
Went to 1st Choice with an unrealistic aim and were helped to find an achievable result. We were pointed to another model with the required attributes in terms of weight, power, practicality, towing ability condition and price (the latter helped by a generous discount).
Post sale, customer service continued to ensure nothing spoiled our enjoyment of our new (to us) acquisition. Excellent company and we will do business with them again in the future.
On entering 1st choice was greeted nicely ,professional approach ,shown around car not pushy left to view and discuss ,reapproached by sales manager /owner very informative kind to help sorted finance and sorted and arranged a nice package ,my partner is a very difficult to please as she likes a bargain but a package was set up and arranged basicly because car wasnt the right spec 1st choice arranged to upgrade made the package right .the deal was done and very happy with the car also the after service as present is very good.on collection of car on final test drive the trainee sales rep was excellent very informative and went through all controls on car i would recommend 1st choice and will return for future cars.
Very helpful and I will be in touch with them again in 3 years time.
Professional service from start to finish
Sean and Michael were very knowledgeable and helpful as were the rest of the team, they even gave my partner a bouquet of flowers which was a nice surprise for her. After sales service was fantastic we had a small issue after purchasing the vehicle Gavin was very quick to help and answer any questions we asked to sort this problem out which he did. The whole purchase experience with 1st Choice Cars was very professional and pleasurable.
I would definitely recommend 1st Choice Cars to other people
From the first time I contacted 1st choice cars , I was impressed with their professionalism. It's the best car buying experience I have encountered. Their communication was instant and they went beyond other dealers in keeping me informed. Very friendly sales team and it was a nice touch giving my wife a bunch of flowers as we drove off in a new purchase. Would happily deal with them in the future.
Sales person (Michael) was very helpful and courteous. Professional service from start to finish.
Found exactly the model we wanted here. Service not the phone and in person pre-sale was excellent. Price was very competitive and on day of delivery the car was presented to us in excellent order. Couldn't have been more helpful. Would highly recommended.

We had looked for a land rover Discovery and when we found a good selection at 1st choice I contacted them and spoke to Sean who was very helpful from the start. We travelled from Bridgend in South Wales to view the cars and again Sean and his team were very helpful and gave us the information we needed making the purchase straightforward. We chose a discovery and when we collected it it was immaculate and we were delighted. We had a good part ex deal and would definitely recommend 1st choice cars. Thanks again to Sean and his team.
Very good customer service and courteous staff
Very good efficient service from Sean and the team,feel very valued as a customer so far so good. Very professional to deal with.
From the first phone call to driving the car away, there was no hassle and good straight forward dealings. The car was bought sight unseen, and his description was 100%.
I thoroughly recommend this dealer.
Purchased our first ever 4x4 after scouring the market for months on end. Came across 1st choice on internet. Fantastic range of Discovery's. From my 1st phone call with Sean to going to see car and driving away with it. Everything dealt with smoothly. I had a few things I wanted doing to car, these were all done to a high standard when we collected vehicle.
Post purchase Sean has remained in contact. Definatly a great professional team. Recommend you go see these guys. The 2 Michaels were wonderful too. Made the whole purchase a lot smoother.
Good service, vehicle had several defects which when pointed out were resolved without any fuss. time will tell if i made the right desision
We found the whole experience of buying a car from 1st Choice Cars very satisfying. From going the extra mile to ensure we had the full history of the vehicle, preparing the vehicle to our complete satisfaction, to presenting my wife with flowers on completion, were touches that will ensure we return when we finally decide to upgrade!
A very pleasent and high quality car dealership.
I came across 1st Choice cars when looking for a Mitsubishi Outlander, and was impressed with the reviews the dealership got, so arranged to go through and have a look at a car. From the outset, Sean and his team were very accomodating, helpful, knowledgeable and eager to serve. I placed a deposit on the car that afternoon, and 1st Choice cars made sure it was ready 2 days later, including a service.
As part of the deal, I had arranged to get some work done by a third party, and they unfortunately were not able to provide the service agreed on. 1st Choice cars went out of their way to help me get this sorted out. Very happy over all with 1st Choice Cars and I have no qualms about using them again in the future.
Purchase of Range Rover Vouge SE
Having purchased a Range Rover Sport Supercharged over two years ago from 1st Choice, which gave me 70,000 miles of trouble free motoring, I had no hesitation in seeking the bigger Vogue model from them. Having kept an eye on their website for a few weeks, I finally found the one I was looking for, Rimini Red with Ivory interior. Visited garage next day which being a Saturday was very busy with customers, but I was able to see the car all gleaming in leisure with no pushy salesmen and decided this was the one for me. Had a chat with Sean the owner, who told me all the history of the car and came up with a good deal taking my Sport in as part exchange. Sean confirmed all the facts and figures via text on Sunday morning. Finance agreed on the Monday and signed up the finance papers on the Tuesday. Picked up car on the Friday afternoon. Superb! Quick, efficient, no hassle and Sean kept me informed via phone or text, promptly every step of the way.
I would have no hesitation in recommending 1st Choice Cars
A very positive experience
Overall a very positive experience from start to finish, a real team effort too in fixing a small issue after purchasing the vehicle, a Discovery 4, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend 1st Choice Cars to anyone looking for a used Land Rover or Range Rover.
Excellent Customer Service !
No disappointments in any way. Very quick to help and answer any questions.
Staff Brilliant.
Thank you for sourcing a lovely motor.
Tank Driver/Owner Buys Classic Sports Car
Having studied the Lotus Esprit S3 market for many months the ona at 1st Choice cars ticked all my boxes. There are always issues with a 32 year old car but having owned it for about three weeks and looked over every aspect I am still delighted with the purchase. The car is so original, never modified in any way with a good history, this just adds value. I shall be keeping my 4.5ton Armoured Fighting Vehicle which I have owned for 17 years. Some say my hobby vehicles are a bit extream but hopefully I shall enjoy both for many years.
I would definately recommend this dealer to everyone who wants to buy with confidence , very helpful and professional before during and after our purchase .
We found 1st Choice Cars online, and I can only say I wish I had found them sooner. They have a enormous amount of really smart Landrovers of varying models. I've never known a company have so many! We had been looking for the 'right car' for nearly 6 years now, and thanks to Sean at the dealership, we got it. After the initial contact by me, Sean put a lot of legwork into finding our perfect vehicle, and once he found it, we viewed it online and then drove for 5hrs, to buy it. The showroom is very tidy, both Sean and his staff are very passionate about selling excellent quality cars, this shows in Sean's aftercare skills as well. Even with the vast difference in where we live (Northumberland) and there they are (Oxfordshire), I'll have no hesitation in going back to buy my next vehicle from them. The pre-owned car market is full of dealers, but 1st Choice Cars are there at the top. I couldn't recommend them highly enough for your next purchase, you wont be disappointed.
Professional service and quality car. A bit of pressure from the sales team and they didn't know much about the car being bought as it was a part exchange that was being sold on. Efficient process and good communication. Overall, a satisfactory experience.
Good service n friendly.
We recently purchased a Freelander from 1st Choice. The car was very well presented and the sales guy was very familiar with the car. Buying process was easy and they went out of their way to sort out the missing piece of service history by doing the major service that had been missed. 12 month MOT as well. Overall easy and smooth transaction and to date the car has fully lived up to expectations
I had not dealt with 1st Choice before and contacted them when I saw the Freelander on Auto Trader. It sounded great and Sean gave me all the information I needed and made arrangements to view. The car was even better than I had hoped very well presented and Sean was able to confirm what work they had done in preparation for the sale. We had agreed the price beforehand which was very competitive against other cars of a similar type and a warranty was available. The little extras such as flowers for my wife and a set of plates for my personalised number provided the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend and will return when I need to replace the Freelander.
I travelled from West Yorkshire to buy the Z4 , Sean assured me the car would be well worth the journey down and he wasn't wrong.A very professional set up with friendly helpfull staff. I would highly recommend this garage to anyone
I had been looking for awhile on the internet to change our car. We had inherited a small amount of money and we wanted something which was both comfortable and economic and reasonable mileage. I came across a website called A A Cars and I placed all the information I had to see if there was any close matches. The internet came up with 1st Choice Cars Oxfordshire and I was pleasantly surprised at the number of suitable cars shown. I contacted the owner and arranged to travel to have a look. When we arrived the car I had chosen was ready for inspection but I did decide it wasn't for me. I did however wander around all the cars in the show room and picked out 3 that I liked and which ticked the boxes. One of the men within the business couldn't do enough to help without pressure on us to choose. Eventually my husband and I made our choice and we did a deal which all parties were happy with at a price which was a pleasant surprise. We traveled up the following week to collect the car and was made to feel very welcome

1st Choice are 1st Class - 1st choice have been excellent. They are honest, knowledgeable and willing to answer any question promptly. They really have made our buying experience and we feel confident in the car choice we've made, backed up by fantastic aftercare. Thank you
Great car, thank you.I recently bought a Discovery 4 from 1st Choice Cars. They have a huge selection of vehicles to look at and both Sean and Michal were fantastic!! Sean found me the exact car I wanted with all the spec I required and within my budget. Michal delivered the car to me without me even seeing it first and couldn't have been more helpful showing me all the cars features. I have already recommended to family and friends. Will be back in a few years to upgrade again! Thanks very much. Georgie.
2007 Honda S2000Extremely happy with both the service and the car. Small problem with a window seal but have been told this will be sorted so all good !
Staff very helpful especially Mr Sean HorseyI am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend First Choice Cars to my friends to purchase their cars from them. I will be buying my next car from them
Upgrade Discovery 3 to 4Found 1st Choice cars on Autotrader and impressed with amount of stock and choice, well looked after by Sean, Michael and John, Sean soon analysed my requirements and led me to the vehicle that I purchased. Competitive pricing, good part exchange price and warranty deal.Would recommend them to anybody looking for a used Discovery and not paying main dealer prices, thank you....
Great car, thank you.

I found 1st Choice Cars to be professional, knowledgeable and courteous.
I hope this e-mai finds you well. I’d like to express my satisfaction on the smooth car buying process at 1st choice cars in Faringdon. Both the photos and videos of the vast vehicles for sale on the website are detailed and accurate. The correspondence that I recieved from 1st choice cars was polite and swift. The whole process from viewing, financing, taxing, mot, part exchanging and valeting was all taken care of by 1st choice cars and nothing was too much trouble. The only thing that I had to organise my self was my insurance in order to drive away. Once a mutaul date was agreed for pick up, Sean made sure that my car was ready for the said date. On arrival at 1st choice cars Faringdon I was greeted by Michael and I must say what an asset he is to the company! He made me a hot drink and allowed me to wonder round the show room viewing all the beautiful cars both classic and modern, just wow! He promptly went to get my car for me to inspect it and asked if I had any questions or needed any help with the controls. Michael is so knowledgeable and passionate about cars and it really was a pleasure talking to him and finding out about my own car. The free full valet, keyring, half a tank of fuel and bouquet of flowers were a really nice touch. I would definatelty recommend 1st choice cars to other people and I would buy my next car from there. The actual car is amazing and I’m very happy indeed.
Painfree Purchace - I've been looking for an affordable four seat convertible for some time and after being conned by a private seller I decided to look at what dealers had to offer. I came across First Choice on the internet ( a well known auction site ) and spotted a CLK320 convertible which ticked all the boxes, I emailed them about the vehicle and had a quick response and arranged a visit. The CLK was just what I was looking for and Sean, Rob and the other lads were really helpful and obliging. The deal was agreed and a date was set , as a full check and new MOT were put in place. The flowers are a nice touch and were very well received by the wife. Follow up calls were made to check that all was well and I could not praise their service enough plus the piece of mind warranty they offer is reassuring. It was also nice to look around his selection of classics. Well worth a visit.
A pleasurable experience - A very professional sales team selling a world wide product. In my case a Land Rover Discovery. I would definitely recommend a look at the website and a phone call would not go a miss, what have you got to loose!! Need I say more, very satisfied and will return when i'm looking for a new vehicle. Dave Johnson.
Fantastic Service, Choice and Experienced Team - We bought a Disco 2 from Sean and his team a two years ago. Although an "old girl" she is still going strong and has been very reliable. So when I needed a new vehicle we decided to go back to 1st Choice. Sean and Michael are very knowledgeable, provide great insight and key points to consider when purchasing a car. We knew when we went we wanted a Range Rover Sport and they took us through the options and showed us a number of vehicles.
We were able to make a choice there and then (although there was no pressure to do so) and we paid a deposit on the RR. When we collected it, it was turned out to an exceptional standard and I am delighted with my new car.
I would highly recommend 1st Choice, good selection of vehicles, confidence in the checks it has been through and a pleasure dealing with Sean and Michael.
Fantastic service, Very smooth hand over process both professional and personal touches made it a great purchasing experience will return again.

Picked up our X5 last saturday,we went to view it and decided to buy it 2 wks previous.Shaun the owner was very knowledgeable and showed us every receipt and service the previous owner had kept,a thick history file. My wife and i both had a test drive.We part exchanged our bmw 330 aswell.The x5 needed a few things doing,which included a new satnav,tracking, 4x4 sensor and heater blower. these were all done for me before we could pick it up.Top service from 1st Choice Cars. Also my wife had a beautiful bunch of flowers off of Shaun.
If, like me, you've decided to purchase a used Land Rover Discovery you've no doubt already discovered that it is a minefield. I looked at plenty of them for sale privately and every one looked great in the photos but turned out to be utter rubbish in person. I had all but given up.
And then I discovered 1st Choice. They have a huge selection. Both Michal and Sean are incredibly knowledgable and give you instant confidence in their vehicles. They only sell the very best and will make sure you get the one that is perfect for you. They also offer 15 month warranty for piece of mind.
Stop trawling the internet and go and see them today. My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner. You won't be disappointed.
Found 1st Choice on the internet when looking to buy a Range Rover. Subsequently found out that a mate of mine had bought an XC90 from them. Great stock of cars to choose from, all great value. Good service, not too in your face selling, and when i had decided, no nonsense deal on trading in my old car. very happy overall and when i picked up the car it looked beautiful.
After scanning adds and the internet for several weeks l found a Range Rover Sport in exactly the colour and trim level that l wanted at 1st Choice vehicle sales. After contacting Sean the owner and him giving me all the details l felt very reassured. I am retired living in central France and my wife knew that this would be a lovely retirement present for me.
After an initial phone call, I gave Sean a deposit over the phone and proceeded to tell him l would fly over to the uk in a few days to pick it up after making all the necessary arrangements and bring back to France. On meeting him and a member of his staff they were very helpful and courteous and made the whole transaction so very easy.
I have no hesitation in recommending 1st Choice to anyone. I was impressed with the setup of the site, clean and tidy with all the vehicles presented very well indeed.
I purchased a second hand XC90 from 1st Choice. The car was as described in the add. Although I did not make an appointment, I was seen promptly and dealt with in a professional manner. 1st Choice addressed all pre-collection requirements as agreed and the car was well presented ready for my collection. The whole purchase experience with 1st Choice was very professional and pleasurable.
After taking to 1st choice on the phone and getting some great advice i set out to look at some disco's . I travelled around and saw some truck but was not happy with any. I then decided to go to 1st choice at farringdon two hours from where i endded up and another two hours from home. When i got there i look upon a lot filled with landrovers. All clean all in good shape and all i wanted. Buy sean new on the phone the truck for me and after some looking i hqd to go with his advice. The best money i have spent in years. Great cars Great people and a great service. Thanks to all at 1st choice. Guy in stamford
I 7purchased a Land Rover Discovery from 1st Choice Cars, and I have been thoroughly impressed by the dedicated, customer focused service and attitude of the company throughout. On preparing the vehicle for delivery (after having agreed a purchase price) the company identified a battery issue. At their expense the vehicle was sent to a local auto electricians' who were unable to resolve. The car was then sent to a Land Rover main dealership who, after several days identified the fault and replaced the component (door handle). The vehicle was delivered in immaculate condition. Sean couldn't have done more to keep me in the picture and offer pragmatic solutions. His communication, via phone and email were first rate, ensuring I was clear on the progress and options available throughout the purchase. Following receipt Sean has gone above and beyond, at his expense, to provide an additional accessory and replacement spare wheel. I am delighted with 1st Choice Cars and highly recommend.
I bought my land rover discovery 4 hse .without seeing it until it appeared on my drive .i asked for as many photos as possible and i still asked for more or got the garage to check things on the car all dealt with promtly.the deal and finance was all sorted without a fuss .the only thing i could say is the car could have been valeted better inside bettet oily hands on some cream panels and seats not cleaned but overall a well turned out vehicle ive had it three weeks now all ok
I had a great experience buying my new car. The whole process was quick, easy to understand and filled me with confidence I was making the right decision on my purchase. I would most certainly recommend friends and colleagues to buy from 1st Choice Cars.
Sean and the team were very helpful and friendly. When my wife and I went to view and test drive the car we were left alone to look over it for as long as we wanted. I had to cancel collection a couple of times due to work commitments, none of this was a problem. On first view and on collection, the condition was of the highest standard. I am extremly pleased with my new discovery and would have no hesitation in buying another car from 1st choice cars
After owned quite a few Mitsubishi Shoguns over the years my wife and I decided to try a Discovery ,There is an endless supply available but very few met our expectations, I noticed on the internet that there was a company in Farringdon Oxfordshire that specialises in Volvos and Landrovers so thought we would pay a visit, On our arrival we were met by Michael who took really good care of us . He showed us the entire stock of vehicles and left us to make our own minds up with no pressure selling whatsoever. When we showed an interest in a Discovery 4 he then introduced us to Sean who went through our part exchange arrangements which were acceptable to us so we had a good deal there. When we returned a few days later to change the vehicles the Discovery needed to be taxed and Michael kindly took me to the local post office to do this, I was very happy with the cleanliness of the vehicle when we picked it up also. I would'nt hesitate to recommend First Choice Cars to anyone that wants a top quality vehicle
We had undertaken lots of internet searching and study so decided to drop over to view the huge range of Land Rovers available. We found a perfect example in great condition and so bought a Discovery 3 there and then. The whole experience was seamless from start to finish the car valeted and provided with a new MOT. Would highly recommend to others.
Great second purchase - This is our second time of using first choice cars Oxford. Excellent service the first time round so came back to update our discovery 3 to the discovery 4. Had the new car for three weeks now and can't fault it! All work that needed doing before pick up has been done to a quality standard. This purchase was made as stress free as possible by Sean who was professional in all aspects of the sale
After searching the Internet for an age, it was refreshing to come across the 1st Choice web site and cars. It was easy to navigate around the site and the descriptions of the vehicles clear and precise.
I'm not much of a negotiator, but you we're extremely fair with my PX and I was very happy with the deal we struck on the Landrover.
You saw us very quickly and the car we chose was exactly as described. I know you were closing for refurbishment but I was especially pleased when you arranged all the paperwork etc so I could pick the car up when you were closed.
A special thank you to Michael who went out of his way to accommodate us. Dave (mechanic) was brilliant too, you have a great team.
The flowers were a lovely touch too, the wife was very pleased.
I'm loving the new car and would have no hesitation recommending you to my friends/family etc.
Wonderful job, great service and thank you again.
Best wishes,
Mark
Sean
I just wanted to drop you a short note to say how happy I am with the car. It was refreshing to deal with a company that is realistic on pricing and obviously has customer service at the top of its priority list.
The car was exactly as described - absolutely pristine, and I felt the deal we struck was reasonable for both parties, so hopefully we are both happy.
Special note on Michael - great communication prior to me coming down from London, picked me up on time from the station, very personable and knowledgable about the car and nothing was too much trouble on the inspection and test drive - he even showed me around the warehouse - and got me quite excited about the Dino replica!
Great buying experience and great car - all when you were supposed to be closed for refurbishment!
Many thanks.
Having searched the Internet and finding such a choice at 1st Choice
Cars, Faringdon, Oxfordshire I made an appointment to visit to see an
Aintree Green Discovery 4. Unfortunately it had been sold the day
previous to my visit, however there was a second. Sean made us very
welcome and made coffee. A member of his staff gave us a tour of the
vehicle and we had a test drive.
Apart from a few very minor issues, the vehicle was immaculate. Sean
made a list of the issues and within two days he called to say that 75%
had been rectified and within another two days, the vehicle was ready
for collection.
Sean and his staff were very friendly and not pushy at all. There was
no pressure in trying to force us to make any decisions and we were
left alone to discuss.
The choice of vehicles they offer have to be seen to be believed but I
would recommend that if you have a vehicle In mind, get there quickly.
The turnover appears to be very quick; after I had placed my deposit
and agreed the purchase, another customer came (and wanted to buy
mine. I think not!)

Great garage to buy from - We recently brought a Range Rover from the company and I would like to say that it was the best decision to buy from them. They were very helpful all the way through, The car I choose had a lot of black trim which I was looking for one with more chrome this was not a problem for the garage and they changed the car to my spec at no extra cost and really went the whole mile to help me achieve the car I wanted. The staff were very helpful and professional at all times. I would buy from them again and recommend them to friends and family. Thank you .
Not your typical Saturday for me walking into a garage with hubby to look for yet another car.. And then I saw her.. Sparkling and calling my name. Sean and Michael were not pushy car sales men and I was not in the market to buy a car, why do I need one I have a lovely company car … But she called to me..... So firstly can I say it was fate walking into your garage that day, you were perfect gentleman and as I said not pushy at all. A week later I test drove her telling myself – he'll sell it this week so I won't buy it – yet there she was waiting for me ..... As I sat in her to test drive her that was it I was hooked. I'm now the very proud owner of my very own beautiful Audi TT convertible and I love her. Thanks Sean and Michael great service, great guys and and even better car.
Hi Sean,
Just a note to say thanks for all your help in finding us the Land Rover discovery 4 , we are so delighted with it and family and friends really like it too. We took it down to Bournemouth the day after we picked it up and it was a very nice comfortable ride, we went to the earth wind and fire concert and it was fantastic. Also we've played your C.D and few times and we have enjoyed it very much. Thanks again and we will recommend you to family and friends and we could be back in a few years to upgrade again!.
Thanks and best wishes Marianne and Paul harris OXFORD.
I love the car. The deal went through smooth. I was unsure after reading some reviews. However due to the professionalism received on the phone I continued with the deal. Thankfully I'm glad I did. Sean was very professional and I am very happy with my vehicle. There are no hidden fees etc everything is explained clearly and appropriately. I would recommend them to my family and friends without hesitation. Sean and Team thank you!
After making a number of trips to look at 1st choice, I found the car with the exactly colour and spec I wanted, the staff gave helpful advice without being pushy, we then talked about trade in and agreed a deal. Justin and Michael gave us superb service and the car was duly purchased. The after purchase service was impressive and the vehicle knowledge was immense, Thanks Guys.
Can I just say thanks for the great customer service. The vehicle demonstration was excellent and your pulled out all the stops to make sure our wish list was complete. Thanks to everyone at 1st choice car.
1st Choice Cars all the way
We bought our Landrover Discovery 4 HSE from 1st Choice Cars and they are very professional, listened to our needs and helped us find our perfect car. We have already recommended 1st Choice Cars to our friends and family. Would buy from them again.
I am thrilled with my new Freelander, Sean & his team went out their way to resolve any niggles with the car before collection, sorted me out a fair deal, & ensured that the hand over went smoothly , even giving my wife a bouquet of flowers. I am now a proud owner of a shiny new car.
Hi Sean,
Just a quick note to say we are delighted with our Landrover Discovery purchased from you. It has meticulous bodywork and is immaculate inside. We have had good impartial advice from the beginning and you did everything from advisory free MOT to Service prior to collection as you said you would. You even went one step further excelling in your customer service in obtaining expediently blacked out security privacy glass and tow bar fitted saving me the hassle of having to waste time I didn't have getting it all done.
I'll definitely be coming back for future 4x4 and have already recommended you to a friend who will be coming to see you soon.
1st Choice cars are a 5 star business. I recently purchased a Volvo XC90 from them and they have gone above and beyond in customer care. The treatment from start to finish was exemplary, and I was made to feel as if I had purchased one of their much higher priced cars. I was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers when I went to collect it. Also, their after sales service is as wonderful as their no pressure sales. Sean said he would sort a headlight problem out for me and true to his word he has, with no chasing from me. I was kept in the loop at all times. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a car. Thank you very much Sean from a very happy customer who is loving her 2007 Volvo XC90.
Julia Payne
Many thanks again for the smooth purchase of the XC90 3.2 Executive. It was a pleasure dealing with you and your team, and the car has exceeded my expectations. I love the silky smooth 3.2 straight six petrol engine, and the space is fantastic.A big thank you also for the lovely flowers for my wife - she was very touched by your kind gesture.Look forward to buying another car from you in future.All the best, Kind regards, James
Just wanted to say thanks to all the guys at 1stChoiceCars for all their time and assistance recently when we purchased our Land Rover from them. Staff were hands on in their approach but not in a pushy manner and gave us plenty of time to view vehicles, discuss specifications and have a decent period for the test drive. Very professional and competent company and very happy with our purchase. Would thoroughly recommend 1stChoiceCars to anybody considering purchasing from them. Will certainly be talking to them again when we want to change another car in the future. Christine Voller
Sean & Michael Just wanted to say many thanks for all the hard work in getting my sons car ready for today albeit the plastic seat part but that was out of your control. As you can see Drew was very very happy and actually said it took him by surprise as to the excellent condition of it. Thank you also for the beautiful flowers as you can see pride of place on our dining room table. I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking to change their car. Service and communication was outstanding. Once again thank you so much for helping make my boy very happy with a new set of wheels. Oh I also put your website link on my Facebook. Kind regards Linda Russell
I recently purchased a beautiful, very low mileage Triumph Spitfire from 1st Choice Cars, for my youngest son Freddy. The car was of particular interest to me as I had an identical car when I was at University and met my wife and Freddy's Mother. The car is everything it was described to be and we are having a great time re-acquainting ourselves with a Spitfire. 1st Choice have been excellent throughout and I would have no hesitation recommending them.....I just wish I had the funds to buy all the other beautiful classics I saw in the showroom when I collected ours.
My wife and I have recently bought a Land Rover Discovery from 1st Choice Cars and we are very happy with our purchase. Devon, the salesman, was friendly, cheerful and very helpful. We knew what type of car we wanted and what sort of price range we had in mind. All the paperwork was sorted out very quickly with no problems or fuss. We would definitely recommend 1st Choice Cars to anyone looking to buy a similar vehicle. Mr & Mrs Chandler, Reading, Berks.
I had a very pleasant experience at 1stchoice Cars when I brought my Golf convertible. They are very professional and were extremely helpful through the entire process. Excellent customer service . Really happy with my car - thank you for a great service .
Hi I recently purchased my BMW 335i from 1st Choice Cars. I am over the moon with it. Sean and his team were fantastic. I would recommend using them, it was a pleasure. I will be back for a new truck before long. Thanks Sean
Purchase Range Rover Sports from 1st choice cars. Was really happy with the service that I received excellent sale team really friendly and helpful. Would defiantly recommend 1st choice cars to anybody.
Vauxhall Frontera
I purchased this lovely vehicle on the 30th April, Sean and his Team were brilliant, very helpful and efficient, I am over the moon with the Frontera and absolutely delighted with the lovely bunch of flowers.
Highly Recommend 1st Choice Cars Thank You Guys
Very best regards
Jo
Hi Sean,
Having bought a Volvo XC 90 from 1st Choice cars I can say that the customer service I received from the staff was excellent.
I did not feel under any undue pressure to purchase the vehicle. There was a delay in arranging the finance due to money laundering considerations. During this time the staff were helpful and supplied me with support, and thankfully many cups of coffee.
Everything I needed to know was explained to me in a professional manner.
All in all I would purchase another vehicle from this dealership in the future
Regards
Barry Jackson
A stress free experience from very professional staff. We were confident with the service given by Sean and the team and are very happy with our new car. The part exchange of our previous vehicle was simple and all paperwork and processes were explained thoroughly. I have already recommend 1st choice cars to friends, family and colleagues, and would use their services again in the future
Regards Nicola
Really happy with the car .. Excellent service .. And really welcoming. Appreciate what you've done the past week or so for me and again im well chuffed with the car ..
After searching everywhere for a new family car, we came across 1st Choice Cars. Initially wanting a 7 seater, looked into buying a Volvo XC90, but couldn’t resist also looking at the impressive selection of Land Rovers in stock. Sean and Scott let us have a good look around at various cars without being pushy. We left the premises with a very good idea of what we could afford but still unsure of what would be the best car to suit our needs and budget. The following day I rang and spoke to Sean and asked for some advice on the Land Rover Discovery’s he had for sale and any recommendations. He very quickly replied with a link to the website for a black Discovery 3, which was a 1 owner from new and a full Land Rover Stratstone service history. Having viewed the online photos and a very detailed video of the car, requested to view and test drive the next day. The following day it was ready on the forecourt for me to test drive. After the test drive and liking the car offered to purchase on condition it was serviced and had a 12 month MOT with no advisories. This was carried satisfactory out before collection. On the day of collection, myself, wife and our 3 kids were greeted by Sean and given the chance to check to car over once more before completing the paperwork. We were offered coffee whilst Sean sorted out the paperwork, road tax and warranty. With regards to the warranty, I did a little homework on what common problems Land Rovers have and this was truthfully made aware to us by Sean, which was very honest, as many dealers wouldn’t tell you the bad points, (all cars have them!). So our experience of buying a second hand car was a very good one. Would we recommend 1st Choice Cars?...............Yes! Thanks again, Derek & Paula Hall.
I am delighted with my S2000. It is quite an extraordinary car! I was very satisfied with the service I received from 1st Choice. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Devon even offered to give me a lift from Swindon station to collect my car. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to a friend.
Regards Mark Stuttard
My 2008 Honda S2000 is a pleasure to drive and is in excellent condition. >>> >>> Many thanks to Dev and the crew at 1st Choice cars. THE one stop place for S2000's
My experience of dealing with Sean and his colleagues at 1st Choice has been a fair experience, i've now covered almost 300 miles in this old car since collection. i've looked at the car and wanted to be critical and find things that do not tally up with 1st choice cars description. Reading this testimonial, both buyer and seller may wonder why i would want to look for problems, after paying, what some could say is more than the going rate for a BMW 3.0CS?
I was told some years ago by a old car enthusiast, that there is rarely such a thing as cheap classic, you either buy cheap and dig deep to put things right or buy the best you can afford and avoid having the car as a project, in bits for a few years, on the garage floor..
Taking my old friends advise, i bought the best example i had seen, thankfully the car appears to be as astonishing as its advertised description.
Kind regards,
Richard
Very impressive centre, fantastic selection of cars, excellent service the guys were very helpful and considerate, gave me a fantastic deal with a generous offer on my part exchange. I would highly recommend them.
The salesman Devon was fantastic.
2010 discovery is great. Fast and reliable service from your guys. Thank you.
Cheers Craig Hill
1st Choice Cars provided a great service when we bought our new car from them. They were friendly, helpful and worked to our time scale ensuring the car was ready for us when we needed it. I would highly recommend them. We are extremely pleased with our car and our experience.
Firstly I wanted to thank you for an absolutely fantastic car, I bought the S2000 (YG56 XME) and I can not fault it in any way, I also wanted to leave it a week until I had an opportunity to have the car for a little while before emailing in and giving my feedback to you guys, and the car is just brilliant and I honestly can not believe I have not had one before.
I will definitely come back and see you guys again when I purchase my next car.
What I would say to people "If you want a great car at a great price, then get yourself down to see Scott at 1st choice cars, fantastic cars with a fantastic customer service, dont waste your time going anywhere else, this is the first and only place you need to go"
Word of mouth is a great thing and far more valuable than any advertising you could do anywhere, as this was the only reason I purchased from you as you came so highly recommended, and I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a car.
Guys
I would recommend the team at 1st Choice Cars, as they do genuinely try hard to do a deal, even when you're hard to please like myself! They certainly are a dealership of some character, not your stereotypical car salesman, although you will hear every cliche in the book before the deal is done. That being said they are a nice, who like us are simply trying to make a living whilst supplying their customers with some lovely cars; only wish I could have brought the white Stag too! I am almost looking forward to our next deal, as it was an enjoyable experience, and more importantly I love the new car! Take care guys and prosper, see you in a couple of years!
Gary & Michelle Portsmouth
Hi Scott, Devon,
I'd just like to thank Scott and the guys at 1st Choice for selling me a cracking Discovery 3. From the initial phone call all the way through to the handover of the keys Scott made the whole process simple, clear and concise. Everything I asked for was completed exactly as I wanted to a very very high standard, and thanks for the advice on the wheels was a perfect decision cheers Sean. This was definitely well worth the 596 mile drive home all the way to the Highlands and would recommend 1st Choice Cars to anyone who is looking for a top class vehicle from a top class team.
Thanks again guys. Grant
Thank you very much for a fantastic service from start to finish. Staff were excellent and service was of the highest quality. We are very pleased with our fantastic vehicle that was exactly as described. Will definitely return to 1st Choice in future and recommend to friends. Thank you for making this an easy and straight forward transaction .
Noff and Trudy Fugito
I must admit I haven't used the Honda much as the weather has been so dreadful and I don't want to spoil it. That said I have taken it out a couple of times and it's a bonkers car, I love it! The colour is just fantastic and I'm so pleased that I made the decision to go for the yellow as it totally suits that car. I took it to the Avenue Drivers Club just after New Year, which is an informal gathering of car enthusiasts in Queen Square in Bristol, and it justifiably received a lot of attention.
Thank you for your straight forward and efficient handling of the transaction
With best wishes, Julian.
the services was great group off guys and fantastic deal, cheers.
Cheers both.
It was a pleasure doing business with Sean. If you are looking for a S2000 this is the place to go. They know the product well, the cars are fairly priced and they have a good selection to choose from.
They also made the purchase process very easy with tax, MOT, servicing and preparing the car all done quickly and smoothly. Overall it was an excellent buying experience.
We were both thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, communication skills and efficiency of Devon in dealing with both the sale of the car and also his assistance over organising the finance package, reacting swiftly and accurately to any issues. He made the process very smooth and stress free for us and clearly 1st Choice Cars has a great set up sorting out important issues such a temporary insurance cover and car tax effortlessly in a few minutes meaning we could just drive our amazing new car home.
Caroline and Edward Martin
1st Choice cars turned out to be the perfect place for our next company vehicle! Devon made us feel comfortable and welcome from the moment my we arrived. We knew exactly what we wanted when we got there and Devon was fantastic at explaining how to move forward and find the perfect vehicle for our needs with no pressure tactics, unlike some of the places we had previously visited. He was professional & knowledgeable and made buying a vehicle a great, stress free experience. We're very happy with our purchase and I will definitely recommend 1st Choice cars in Farringdon to anyone looking for a personal or business vehicle in the future. Many thanks.

Dear Sean
Thanks to you and your team, our search for a Discovery 4 has been as trouble free as we could have hoped. You found us exactly what we asked for, so we couldn’t be happier. When we arrived to collect our new Disco we were really stunned at the quality of the presentation. We both really did appreciate the way you went the extra mile to make sure everything was just right. The flowers for Delphine made her day! A big thank you to everyone involved.
With our very best wishes
Carl & Delphine
Best car buying experience ever, Sean and Devon were extremely helpful and did everything they said they would to make it a great experience, car is amazing and they only sell great cars, and offer a great after sales experience too non of this once it's sold see ya later,they are always on the end of the phone if I ever had any questions
Thanks Kev smith
The entire 1st Choice team were very helpful, honest and approachable during the sales process. We had been looking into buying an S2000 for quite a while and always saw that 1st Choice had a good range available. The team made every effort to answer all of our questions and keep us informed of progress. Overall I am happy to recommend them.
Best Wishes,
Ryan
Sean, we want to thank you and all your team for the invaluable advice you gave us. The unfailingly professional, friendly and knowledgeable service we received, made this the best car buying experience we have ever had.
Warm regards
Jenny and Sedge
I had been interested in buying a Honda S2000 for some time and had established that Ist Choice Cars had probably the best selection of cars in the country.
I found Sean and his team to be courteous, professional and extremely knowledgeable in my dealings with them and they were able to fully explain and answer my questions and queries about the car.
If you are looking for an S2000 this is the place to look. Many thanks Sean – I am delighted with my Deep Burgundy S2000.
Sean,
Couldn't be more delighted. The Discovery was the perfect for my companies needs and I really felt you went above and beyond preparing it for my collection. You really exceeded my expectations and I will certainly be back to purchase a car for my partner and any future company cars I may need.
Thank you so much once again.
Lucy Jane MSBP (Acc)
Hi Devon
Yes we are both very happy with the car it's exactly what we wanted. I was also very happy with the customer service especially seeing how busy you were. Sean is very lucky to have a right hand man like yourself!
To 1st Choice Cars
I have to say you have provided a 1st class service when buying our New Range Rover. The vehicle was presented to us in excellent condition and the customer after care is second to none. I would highly recommend you and when it comes to upgrading we will definitely be coming back to you.
Thanks again
Donna Blenkinsopp
Hi Sean
I would just like to finally say Thankyou for the professional way you and your staff conducted the sale etc and your timely response to any and al queries. I felt 'looked after' nice change from some dealers I have dealt with. I will have no hesitation in pointing friends, family and colleagues in your direction
Thanks again
Kind Regards
During Our first conversation two weeks ago, I explained how disappointed my recent visits to Garages had been. However, on arrival at your Forecourt, my first impression was that my trip had not been wasted. From the excellent manner in which the ensuing negotiations were carried out up to the Delivery of the Vehicle with All the past and present Paperwork intact,there is no doubt that 1st Choice Cars Ltd have Pride and Positive approach . Yes I am very pleased with Car.
My sincere thanks
G.Wood
My new 07 S2000 is indeed a very beautiful car. I was impressed with my whole car buying experience with 1st Choicecars, from your friendly and organised professional attention, the test drive help from your mechanic, and the excellently prepared car. It was a real pleasure to drive home, and I do indeed look forward to many years of stress free fun, 'sunny smile on my face' driving.
Many thanks
Richard Freeman
we would like to thank Sean and his team for the excellent and friendly service we received when we bought ou car. We would not hesitate to you use again and will be recommending you to our family and friends.
The service offered from 1st Choice Cars was fantastic! Sean was even prepared to come in out of hours so I could see the car and gave me all the time I wanted to check out and drive the car before purchasing. The whole team were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, keeping me informed of everything that was being done to the car prior to collection. They even put two new tyres on when they came up as an advisory on the MOT. I wouldn't hesitate to go back when I look for my next car.
Once again thank you for the service given during the purchase of our XC90. Hadn't planned on buying anything but the car sold itself. All the staff were friendly and helpful, with no pressure to purchase. I have already recommended you to others. Thanks again
Just like to say a big thank you to Sean for making the experience of purchasing my discovery a pleasurable one, you have restored my faith in car salesmen. Got a good deal on my trade in, he went above and beyond to get the exact spec I wanted on the disco, and even though I live about an hour away from 1st choice it was delivered to my driveway along with flowers!! Will definitely be recommending you to family and friends. Thanks again to you and the team.
Kind Regards
Mandy.
We recently purchased a Mitsubishi Outlander from your company and would like to say that the service we received throughout was outstanding.
From first looking at the car, to the test drive and fmally purchasing and taking delivery your team provided excellent service.
And although you should not single out one member of the team, we have to say that on the day we collected the car, even under some pressure, Devon once again showed respect and true customer care, he is a great asset to your company.
The car has also proved to be exactly what we were looking for and we would recommend you to family and friends who may be looking for a new vehicle in the future.
Thank You
Stephanie Caroline Fox
Hi
I bought my back in February from 1st choice, I wanted honda s2000 for long time and went and saw it at 1st liked a car as they had few, great customer service and great bunch people working in the garage, thanks for all the help and I m loving my s2k
many many thanks once again
1st Choice Cars were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Each e-mail I sent was answered quite quickly and every attempt was made to return my voicemails. Discussion of the condition and performance of my new Honda S2000 was always conducted in a courteous manner. Our negotiation of price and delivery terms was very civilised. When the car was delivered over 150 miles to my home address the driver kept me informed of his progress. He spent time with me to explain key instructions, to demonstrate detachment and attachment of the hard top and to demonstrate electronic retraction and re-fastening of the soft hood. All in all a good experience; I would happily return!
Kind regards,
Peter R. Styles
Hi Sean,
I want to thank yourself, George, Jon and the rest of your team for the level of service provided. The car looks and drives great and I couldn’t be happier at the moment. I will certainly recommend you in the future – I will be back for something more sensible soon!!
Cheers,
Vin
We bought a Range Rover sport in February 2015 from first choice cars. Very friendly and helpful service from all the team. Made process simple and smooth. Delivered the car to our door which made everything so much easier. The service was second to non we love the car and it is everything we wanted. Thank you very much for all the help! We definitely recommend the team at first choice.
We love our new Range Rover Sport, from start to finish was exceptional, excellent service from George, friendly, honest, professional and generally a nice guy. Worth the hour's travel, wouldn't have wanted to do business with any other garage. Great value for money, no hassles. I would recommend 1st Choice Cars to anyone, fantastic.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all the help I received in the recent purchase of my new car ,with a extra big thank you for George who made everything so easy for us.
thanks again Mr&Mrs W Busson
Dear Sean and colleagues, Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent service in all respects: superb knowledge, a great deal, and a very enjoyable customer experience – I'll certainly be back
Hi Sean
From start to finish the whole experience of buying a car through 1st choice was carried out professionally and courteously, I almost felt like the seller!!! The car was delivered spotless, on time and with a driver with a smile. The finishing touches were the flowers, what more could you ask. I'll certainly use you again not only as a buyer but for certain to sell. Thanks again to you and all the team there.
Credit when credit's due
Kirk
I have been very happy with the service that I have received from 1st Choice Cars. The sales staff were very polite and friendly and I hope, honest. I am very pleased with the Discovery I bought from them and I would recommend them to potential buyers.
Dear Max and the team,
I love my car! Thank you for making the whole process from start to finish professional with an exceptional service. On collection the car was absoloutly pristine. The 3 hour journey to both view and collect the car was well worth the trip. I would like to say a special thanks to Max who was very helpful and professional. I will definately be recommending 1st Choice Cars. Thank you for the flowers! a lovely finishing touch....
Shirley & Ian North Wales
Hi Sean,
Excellent service from the chaps at 1st Choice Cars. They have to be the best place to buy an S2000 in the country.
Many thanks,
Chris
Brilliant service from First Choice Cars. Can't wait for the sun to shine!
Zen Karasinski
Just wanted to convey my thanks to you and your team for the excellent service received recently. I am very happy with my Truck, you promised you would source me one and you were true to your word. The added extra of home delivery was very much appreciated! Cheers!
Hi Sean, We wanted to let you and all the sales team how delighted we are with our Landrover Discovery purchased in January 2015. We have had many admirers and would definitely recommend First choice and we will be back. Many thanks Roger & Amanda Dean.
Just a few lines to say thank you for all your help and making it a smooth purchase on The Triumph Stag I took delivery on in December 2014, after my journey down from Scotland it was great of you guys to recommend the B&B to spend the night, also it was a bonus that the owner was an ex rally driver so we had a great chat that night about the Stag itself......I was a bit dubious about driving the car the next day back up to Scotland ( well she is 43 years old) but there was not a thing to worry about, the car not only performed but excelled ....and received numerous appreciation horn toots and thumbs up signs from other drivers on the road.....once again thank you to the sales team and you have helped make a middle aged man regain his youth....
Hello Sean And all. Just a note about the xc90 we bought from you before Christmas. This is the most expensive car we have bought and one of only a few from a car sales showroom – usually go private sales! So as you can imagine, our expectations were extremely high. Well, as high as they were, you and your team have totally exceeded them all. From the initial viewing, where you left us to get on with it, as requested, but was always on hand to help. The test drive with Devon, nothing too much trouble. The help and advice from George. And even the ‘unofficial’ chat with your mechanic. The car is fantastic, though yet to put the tow bar on for the caravan, and what makes everything even better is the fact that you haven't ‘took the money and closed the book’. Your after sales service leaves nothing to be desired and you have gone out of your way to be helpful after the sale – even with a few niggles some of which were my lack of knowledge. I'm going on a bit now, but as you can hopefully tell, we are very happy with the whole deal. thanks for everything, and we will certainly be recommending you to friends and family… and everyone!! Mike and Donna
Thank you for your excellent service and help with my recent acquisition. George Hawk and his colleagues made the whole process a straightforward and pleasurable experience.
My Honda S2000 was such a good deal and condition from 1st Choice motors that I phoned up and reserved it there an then. The transaction was professional and speedy.
I recently bought a Nissan Navara from 1st Coice Cars, and the service I received was excellant .
Sean made sure the purchase of my new vehicle ran smoothly and within a few days of viewing the Navara it was delivered to my work.
I really appreciate the effort and time Sean made to accommodate me I know I wasnt easy but we got there in the end.
I love my new car and would definately recommend 1st Choice Cars to anyone buying a car.
first class vehicles AND first class service
i just want to say what a pleasure it was to deal with sean and his knowledgable team when purchasing my disco.
from giving sean a very specific set of requirements at the start, including budget, sean sourced the perfect vehicle for me then assisted me on all aspects of the specific upgrades i wanted to make to it.
the support i received throughout the process (and beyond), right up to selecting the best warranty for the vehicle has been invaluable and i can't recommend them highly enough.
I recently bought a Discovery from 1st Choice Cars (November 2014) and was pleased to say I had a great experience from start to finish.
I was a little wary at first as I live around 150 miles away and had never dealt with 1st Choice Cars before, but anything I had to worry about quickly disappeared.
From the moment of my first enquiry to taking delivery of the vehicle was smooth, courteous and professional. Every question I had ( and believe me I had alot) was answered satisfactorily and quickly and all the little things that are 'not quite right' on a used vehicle were taken care of, they even made up my number plates and left them in the vehicle for when I put my own registration on!
When I collected my 'new' Discovery, it looked even better than I remembered and I was really impressed with the way it looked and the service I received - my girlfriend even received a bunch of flowers so she didn't feel left out :-)
I'd would certainly recommend 1st Choice and would look to buy another vehicle from them in the future.
I Bought a Honda s2000 yellow what a great car!! George Hawk was great and very helpful from the time I viewed the car and purchased and drove it away I would recommend any person to view and purchase from 1st choice cars they have a great selection and very professional.
well worth that trip down to collect my range rover very impressed with car and service from yourselves, thanks Ernie
Thanks to George and the team at First Choice Cars for a very professional service, from the initial contact through to collection of the vehicle. I was impressed by the helpful & friendly approach that made this a nice smooth transaction.
The car was prepared and valeted to a very high standard.
Special thanks to George on the test drive, in particular the SMG transmission demonstration which proved invaluable for the drive home, not having had any prior SMG driving experience.
I would recommend First Choice Cars to the private buyer.
Can I just point out the service you've give during the sale of our car has been amazing. I would definitely recommend 1st choice to anyone looking to sell their car.
I had never used First Choice Cars before and being driven by a good value car I was drawn to one particular vehicle, an immaculate graphite grey BMW 530d touring. With the modern world being driven by technology, it was important to know that the car was *exactly* as described - we all know what private sellers can be like nowadays, trying to pull the wool over your eyes to get a bit more money, leaving you disappointed in what is an expensive purchase.
Their BMW was the cheapest and best spec in the country, with good miles. I am particularly detailed in my research so I had a lot of questions for them. Sean and Devon were true professionals and answered all questions accurately and clearly, despite numerous emails and phone calls. It is the only way to run a business nowadays from afar.
Upon trusting them I travelled 120 miles to see the car, knowing I'd drive it away. They sorted out Tax, MOT, a fresh service, 5 day drive away insurance and a warranty on the car for a very reasonable price.
It was unusual knowing I'd buy a car from a dealer without having seen it, as I knew all the details beforehand. I normally buy privately but would highly recommend First Choice to any private buyer going premium and looking for something better, for a similar price. I for one, will be looking at those website before buying my next luxury vehicle.
Really impressed with 1st Choice Cars, totally professional right from their drivers to their mechanics and sales team. A pleasure to deal with Sean, very sincere, knowledgeable, accommodating and reassuring, feel very lucky to have purchased such a great vehicle.
I dealt with George who seems like a top bloke no hard sell here the car looked in perfect condition just as the advert said got a good price on the part exchange dealing with the paper work side of things, was nice and easy and I was told about all the small print stuff to save my time reading it, next time I need a top quality car this will be the only show room to get my money thanks again
I cannot say how much I appreciate the effort the Sean and his team at 1st Choice Cars made to accommodate us. My wife needed a new car and for us the only choice was an XC90. I travelled the length and breadth of the country looking for a car within our budget.
Searching the net I found the ideal car at 1st choice, unfortunately the car that I was after had been sold that day. Un-deterred, Sean asked what my parameters were and told me that he would try to sauce a car to match. That week, I received a call from Sean who promised me that not only I but my wife would be extremely happy with his discovery. We were not disappointed.
He not only found a car to meet our budget but also managed to get the exact colour combination that my wife was looking for.
Sean, many thanks. My wife would also like to thank Michael and his team who got the car ready for us. The valet made the car immaculate.

Just a line to say a big thank you for the purchase of my Land rover Discovery .
A great vehicle sold by a Great team ..
Thank you for helping me find my ideal car. You listened to my requirements, sourced the ideal car for me, called me about it, and reserved it for me to see before fully marketing it. I can assure you that there a very few car dealers out there who provide this kind of customer care ! Helpful, friendly and Professional ! Now that’s what I call a full service !
My husband and I thought that 1st Choice Cars were very professional and helpful. Special thanks to Devon, who was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks too, to Sean who first dealt with us & provided us with nice cool drinks on such a hot day! I absolutely love my XC90 and on the day of collection it was valeted and serviced awating my arrival. We would recommend your dealership. Thank you once again.
Drove up from Torquay to pick up my lovely Q7, only seen on the website, but wasn't disappointed everything I had hoped for, the guys in the workshop where excellent, especially on the test drive, also sales team where great and very accommodating.
Well worth the journey and feel I got a bargain, the wife's took the car off me now so I'm back on my bike.
Andy and Maxine Kershaw
I would like to thank 1st Choice Cars for the service they provided, after turning up to find the car I was interested in had been sold they pulled out all the stops to find another vehicle for me. I was kept fully informed by email on the progress of the sale and when I turned up to collect the vehicle the sale was sorted quickly and efficiently. I am very pleased with the car I purchased and would definitely recommend 1st choice cars to my friends and family.
Very happy and impressed with the service I received when buying my car ,everyone concerned at 1st choice cars could not of done anymore .I managed to be able to drive away same day which was a challenge and I am grateful for thank you
Hi Sean
I would just like to say how pleased with the car I bought from you. Had a good drive home. I thought your company was first class, friendly and will recommend you to family and friends.
Next time I need another car I will be in touch. Many thanks Simon
1st Choice Cars Ltd provided me with a superb service from my initial enquiry through to the purchase of a D3. I would highly recommend this dealer as an honest and open business with George being the star providing plenty of hot drinks whilst I was looking for my ideal purchase. There are not many dealers like this nowdays and I class them as a little gem. Thank you again Sean & George for all your help and advice.
I would like to thank all the team for a easy and relaxed transaction on the Range rover Sport we purchased a few weeks ago.
Great service and I will recommend.
Dear 1ST choice cars ,
We are delighted with our new Range Rover Sport and were very impressed with the selection you had and the condition of the vehicles .
On arrival we met with a valeter whom opened the car for us and offered tea and coffee ..
We dealt with Sean whom showed us the vehicle and paperwork and whilst we had our drinks the car was got out and fuelled for a test drive ..
The sale was concluded and everything we asked to get done was done for the collection a few days later .
The flowers was a nice touch !! I am very happy with the Purchase and will not hesitate to recommend ..
Mr Shankling .
1st choice Cars are an excellent place to go for a 4x4. They have a large and ever changing stock of vehicles which makes getting one with the right specification and the right price for you much easier. Many thanks
So far we are very pleased with the car, I love driving it now I’m getting used to it.
I think we received a very courteous and efficient service from yourselves and the flowers were a nice touch. Although we haven’t had the car for very long, all in all we are pleased we found your business and would recommend you to others looking to buy.
I stumbled across 1st Choice Cards through an online search. I was looking for a good, low milage, pre-used Mini Roadster to compare against what I could get new from a dealer.
My enquiry via the website was responded to in a call within an hour of posting. George talked me through the card and answered my questions accurately and clearly; even the more technical ones around iPhone integration.
Arranging test drives and viewing was tricky. I live a few hundred miles away and being busy this was tricky to arrange. In the end I viewed and purchased on the same day. The car did meet the expectations that George gave me and a test drive was not required. You get to know the car owning it, right?
In summary buying a car from 1st Choice was a great experience. There were no issues and working with George was easy.
I appreciate I have ruined summer for the UK now as there is likely to be no prolonged sunshine. I do however have a grin on my face and can settle quite comfortably into my mid-life-crisis. The flowers given to me even matched my eyes ;)
I would like to just thank 1st choice cars for the experience I had dealing with them.
This was my first experience dealing with the garage and I was blown away with the level of service I received. The same if not better than the level of service you would expect from a main dealer.
I would personally like to thank both Devon and Sean for turning a dream into a reality the S2000 has certainly put a smile on my face. I no longer rate my fuel consumtion in miles per gallon but instead I rate it in Smiles per gallon.
I would strongly recommend this garage to anyone looking for a new car.
Thanks again
Jack
I was very happy with the service u guys were very professional and helpful .
Many thanks to All the guys at 1st Choice Cars, the Discovery I reserved over the phone was not just alright, it was indeed far better than the description given.
The car was waiting for me in the showroom on my arrival and after a nice cup of tea the deal was completed and I have had a grin on my face since the purchase.
All in all a great experience nice friendly chaps that go that extra bit to ensure you are happy..
I would most certainly buy again and recommend
Mr A Sadles Tewksbury
We purchased our Discovery from 1st Choice Cars. George was the salesman he was very helpful in showing us the cars and going through the options available. We took a test drive and loved the car all the finance was sorted out by George and warranty options explained. We were happy to buy with confidence and the service was very good and we were very well looked after.
I recently asked 1stchoicecars to locate an Audi A7 for my company, I gave him the full spec of my requirements and a rough guide price. Within a couple of days he had found several vehicles in my price bracket one of which i`m proudly standing by in the photo. I was under no sales pressure to purchase any of the cars, all I received was honest and a professional service. When I collected the car it was as I expected, valeted, taxed and ready to go.
Would like to thank you guys for the quick and helpful service I received. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Made the buying process enjoyable and had a few laughs.
Regards
Scott
I recently purchased a 2007 ford mondeo titanium x from 1st choice cars and was very impressed with the professional way they handled the sale from start to finish
The salesman who sold us this car was Devon who was a really nice friendly chap who made the sale very informative and easy
Two weeks on and the car is faultless and a pleasure to drive
I would defiantly buy from this company again
Normally buying and selling a car can be a frustrating and stressful job, however the team at 1st Choice Cars made this transaction a pleasant and enjoyable experience. They took care of all the paperwork and did everything possible to meet my expectations with PX and new purchase.
I have owned many cars in my time and can honestly say that this dealership is by the far the most helpful and friendly dealership that I have had dealings with.
Thanks again to all at 1st Choice Cars and thanks for the Focus ST. Will definitely be recommending you to my friends and colleagues.
Kind regards
Jon
Thank you for sourcing and supplying us with our new family car, a Land Rover Discovery HSE.
My wife and Children love the car, my oldest son keeps saying “ I can’t believe we have got a Land Rover!”
My experience with First Choice cars has been great from the initial call onwards and I would recommend them to any of my friends and relatives.
I absolutely love my new car! The colour is amazing and is everything I wanted! The people here are very helpful, professional and I couldn't thank them enough for the outstanding service I have received from them. Good luck lads and keep selling them lush cars!!
I am very happy with my new car. There was no pressure from the sales man and it was a quick and pleasant transaction.They contacted me shortly after and sent me the spare key which they had sorted out for me. Thanks again
I travelled from West Yorkshire to buy the Z4 , Sean assured me the car would be well worth the journey down and he wasn't wrong. A very professional set up with friendly helpfull staff ,I would highly recommend this garage to anyone
Firstly a big thanks to Sean and Adrian who were great to deal with...Sean even got back to me at around 11 oclock at night while abroad!
Been looking for a Jaguar XFR for a while, and came across this one and fell in love with it! Spoke to Sean one night and he got Adrian to phone me back the next morning. Both guys were very enthusiastic about the car, but didn't push me into a sale, which is hard to come across nowadays!
So with the car being a 200 mile ferry trip, and 510 mile road trip away from the Shetland Islands to Faringdon, i got my transport booked. This meant a couple of weeks wait, but this wasn't a problem for the guys. They explained the car perfectly, and it was exactly as described when i collected it. To be honest, i've hard more hassle on the weekly shop than i did buying the XFR!
So it was well worth the 1500 mile round trip, taking 4 days, a cancelled ferry due to wind, and missing a day of work to buy my car!
Finally, I was very surprised to get a courtesy call a couple of days later from adrian just to make sure I was happy with the car.
Would certainly use them again!
Can I confirm that I am very pleased with the vehicle and was very happy with the quick and efficient response I received from yourself and Your sales team at 1st choice cars.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I've been a bit too busy enjoying my new car, spent the entire day yesterday cruising about with my family with the top down!
I just wanted to say thank you for the whole experience, it can be quite a stressful process looking for, and then buying a new car, for most people its one of the largest investments they make - that includes me.
All of the staff at first choice cars were knowledgeable, courteous and above all a pleasure to deal with. I can assure you that should you be holding the car I want next time I would not hesitate to come back! I can't recommend highly enough the service and products offered at first choice cars and would recommend you to anyone I know that were in the market for a new prestige motor.
I purchased my Ford Focus Zetec Climate Nov 2013 The service was very pleasant , no pressure sales in a very friendly atmosphere. I am very pleased with my Focus.
When family needed a 7 seater, “strong as an Ox” car…… we naturally chose an XC90!
Have nothing but good things to say about 1st Choicecars - from the welcoming smile upon arrival to the cup of tea offered and consumed when viewing the cars on one particularly cold and rainy day!
Been very pleased with the service and customer care at 1st Choice Cars.
Our family are now the proud & happy owners of an XC90.
Greetings to all at 1stChoice cars and thank you for looking after us.
Best Paul
It was a pleasure to do business from such a distance (Belfast – London).
You and your staff were nothing but helpful and it was a joyful experience.
Kind regards
Philip
Very pleased with the car and the service from 1st Choice Cars. Everyone was really friendly and you gave some great advice. The car indeed still has the 'grin' factor and I have no regrets spending that little bit more for a lot more car.
Thanks again.
I would like to thank you for the whole experience of buying our car. Every car on show was in wonderful condition, excellent price. But what my husband and I loved most was the No pushy salesmanship, the honest and sincere meeting before buying our car. i would like to thank Adrian especially. Hopefully we will not need another new car but I most certainly can recommend your cars and service to everyone. Thanks Gill and Graham Cotter
I would like to say that I am very happy with the sales experience from 1st Choice Cars from my fist initial contact with you through to collecting my car, your cars are presented to a very high standard, well done.
After searching the internet for ages trying to locate the right XC90 we discovered 1st.Choice Cars in Faringdon with a superb selection. The staff are not “car salesmen” they are friendly, helpful, and very informative,and have time to spend with each customer to answer all queries. Adrian went out of his way to ensure that we collected our car on the day that we chose, and Sean gave us excellent advise on how to save a great deal of money on our old car. This company takes the stress and hassle out of changing your vehicle,all done in a very relaxed manner,finding the deal that's right for you. Geoff and Moira Newman Witney Oxfordshire.
I have recently become the proud owner of a AUDI TT of which I purchased from 1ST CHOICE CARS CENTER.
I would just like to say that I couldn't be happier with the car and the way in which the 1st choice team dealt with the whole process, no hard sell tactics just information when you ask for it.
Being approached only when you ask for assistance is something I had not experienced before when buying a car, top marks in my opinion.
Many thanks to the whole team at 1ST CHOICE CARS.
Mr A Hammond.
We recently purchased a 2010 Volvo XC90 R design from 1st Choice Cars, having traipsed around many dealerships around the south of England, where for several weeks, we had been looking for an 'up to' 3 year old car. We were constantly put off by both people and places. Other dealerships appeared to have lack of onsite support for test drives, nowhere to work / repair vehicles in the event you should have to return to the dealer for whatever reason ( something that we felt important when buying a second hand car!), not actually having the cars they advertised, and slightly irritating sales people that expected us to make a decision of their choice within half an hour!
Faringdon is over an hour away from home and it was well worth the journey. We were very pleasantly surprised by the non pushy, informative, guiding sales process, and 1st Choice cars large selection of quality XC90's, along with other makes and models. Being able to look all over the cars inside and out with as much time as we needed was really appreciated.
On site there is a large workshop area, and an onsite Valet. A large selection of vehicles indoors and outdoors. A pleasant indoor sales area, where we were offered tea and coffee and lots of seats for the children. we didn't need to pre-arrange a test drive, and once we saw the car we really liked, we were able to take it out for a good test drive.
After selection of our vehicle we ran through all of the 'little things' that we would like to have changed, Nothing major, a few scratches here and there, anything you would expect with a second hand vehicle. Paid a small deposit and arranged a later date to collect the car. Upon collection absolutely everything we had pointed out as a minor issue had been resolved - either repaired or replaced with brand new, the car was also fully serviced and valeted to the highest standard. We felt like we were driving away a lovely new car. The vehicle came with three months warranty. 7 days fully comprehensive drive away insurance (took 10 minutes on line before collection) , and for peace of mind we have opted for a 2 year extended warranty that is very well priced. There were no hidden costs or fees unlike some of the dealerships we visited, and only had to pay additional for road tax, which we felt acceptable.
We have ended up with a wonderful car, at a good price and would not hesitate to recommend anyone to purchase a vehicle from this dealership. When we decide to change our car, or get another, its most likely going to be the first place we look!
I am extremely pleased with my new Nissan 370Z. The car was in exceptional condition and was obviously well looked after, which is how I felt after a fantastic service from the team at 1st Choice Cars.
My interest through to exchange and purchase was handled in a friendly and professional manor and I was on the road in no time. I would definitely call again with the team when it is time to upgrade to the GT-R
Just a short note of appreciation to you and your team for the smooth purchase of my XC90 which I collected on Saturday afternoon. The car was prepared to excellent order and we are delighted with our new family car.
My decision to buy a vehicle from 1st Choice Cars was easy, based on the choice of vehicles, the showroom environment and the helpfulness of staff.
I just wanted to say a 'big thank you' to Sean and the team at 1stchoicecars.uk.com for all your recent help in purchasing our Volvo XC60 D5 AWD Rdesign.
You provided a very professional and friendly service. The car you've found us has a uniquely high specification (Family Pack, Winter Pack, Power Tail Gate, Navigation, Upgraded DAB Stereo, Rear Park Assist, Heated Seats, Electric Folding Mirrors etc etc) in the colour combination we wanted that no other Volvo dealer in the UK could get hold of.
Were thrilled with the car and would recommend you without hesitation.
