I sold my delightful BMW 330e (24 plate) to David James on 15 October 2025. Both parties were very happy with the transaction, and I even left a glowing review shortly after the sale to express my satisfaction.
However, just a few hours after posting that review, I realised I had accidentally left behind an umbrella with great sentimental value inside the car. I immediately contacted the David James employee who handled the purchase to ask for assistance in retrieving it, only to be informed that the umbrella could not be found. This was deeply disappointing, as the umbrella had always remained in the car and could not realistically have been misplaced elsewhere.
This incident unfortunately cast a shadow over what had otherwise been a wonderful experience. Keeping someone else’s belongings, whether intentionally or through negligence, is unacceptable, and one would expect any reputable dealership’s ethics and conduct policies to address such matters thoroughly.
To make matters worse, after showing little interest in helping me recover my umbrella, the David James representative (whom I prefer not to name) later contacted me with a query about a supposedly missing car charger, an item I had already handed over to their driver at collection. This felt as though it was being raised merely to offset or “balance out” my report of the missing umbrella, which only added to my disappointment.

Reply from David James Limited

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

Having revisited this matter internally, we can confirm that when you contacted us about the umbrella, the team acted immediately. As we operate across multiple sites, the vehicle had already been moved to our preparation centre. The member of staff you dealt with personally contacted the team there and even attended the site himself to physically check the vehicle and preparation areas.

No umbrella was found at any stage.

We would never knowingly retain a customer’s personal belongings. Items left in vehicles are routinely set aside and owners are contacted so arrangements can be made for prompt return. An umbrella would, of course, have no relevance or value to our business, and had it been located it would have been returned to you immediately.

With regard to the charging cable query, this was a standard check during appraisal, as plug-in hybrid vehicles are expected to be supplied with their charging equipment. It was entirely procedural and unrelated to your report.

We are genuinely sorry this has detracted from what was otherwise a very positive transaction.

Seamless and stress free!

An absolute seamless, stress free reluctant sale of my beautiful BMW 135i msport! Kept me informed throughout the full process. Can not fault this company and if you fancy buying a stunning piece of machinery then head to David James ltd for your next car purchase 😀

Fantastic service from start to finish

Fantastic service from start to finish, sold my XC90 T8 and dealt with Kylan.

The communication was spot on, keeping me informed at all times and Jordan who collected the vehicle was brilliant.

I would highly recommend using David James against other routes to selling your car, a great price received and awesome service.

Hi David

Thanks for the review, although we believe you may have got the wrong company.

We are a car dealership and service centre. We have 3 physical sites with 20 members of staff, and unfortunately, no trace of you as a customer which leads us to believe the review is in error.

We would appreciate if you could remove this or supply further information for us to investigate further.

Kind Regards

Excellent Service

I recently sold my car to David James Limited and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first enquiry to the final handover, the service was outstanding. The team was professional, friendly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. They offered a fair price, were transparent throughout, and handled all the paperwork quickly and efficiently. It’s clear they genuinely care about providing top-quality customer service.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Service – Thank You, Kylan!

I had such a fantastic experience with David James Limited, all thanks to Kylan. From the start, he was professional, considerate, and genuinely took the time to make sure I was comfortable with every step of the process. His communication was excellent—always quick to respond, clear, and helpful.

What really stood out was not just how good Kylan is at his job, but how friendly and easy he was to work with. He made the whole experience smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable!

I honestly can’t recommend Kylan and David James Limited highly enough. A truly amazing service from a team that genuinely cares.

Excellent professional service

Excellent professional service
Cannot fault them !
Sold my RS4 after my needs changed and they gave a good price and paid out exactly what and when they said they would.
Don’t bother with other ‘dealers ‘ if you have a quality vehicle these are the guys to deal with .
Special thanks to Kylan for researching the model properly rather than just going with a book value appreciate the extra effort .

Very Professional

I bought my car from David James yesterday, and the whole process was very smooth and pleasant. Jack helped me, and he was extremely professional—he gave me plenty of time to look at the car, answered all my questions, and never pressured me into buying.

So far, I’m really happy with the car. If I notice any issues later, I’ll update my review, but I doubt I’ll need to. Highly recommend!

Contacted David James through Facebook to sell my car. I was dealing with Kylan who came back promptly with a great price straight away and no haggling.
Make the whole process very easy from start to finish and the money was in my bank before the car left the street.

Would love to buy a car from them in the future…..

Biggest regret of my life

Less than 6 months after purchasing a £40k+ car from David James, I now have no car and am out of pocket a lot of money. The car reared two major faults in this short time and low mileage, david james could not diagnose the fault so it was sent to BMW which couldn't get the car seen for almost 3 weeks. 3 days later a quote of over 3.5k for a starting motor. Warranty is not worth the paper it is written on and won't cover the work. David James has provided very little support and rarely calls back when they state they will. No courtesy car from any party involved and it is coming to nearly 2 weeks in the garage with no progress. I have had to chase every party multiple times daily to communicate and make the decisions on how to proceed. I was told the car would be moved to another garage and repaired there so it would be covered, all of a sudden this wasn't going to happen any more and I have had very little communication from anyone. You don't expect a service like this for such an expensive car. The biggest regret I may ever have is purchasing a car from here. I suggest you avoid at all cost. No sympathy or care for the experience I am facing and it definitely seems like I am just an inconvenience to them.

Great Selling Experience

Recently sold my beloved BMW to David James Limited. Really pleasant guys to deal with, particularly CJ who was my point of contact. Good communications throughout the selling process and on the day of collection their driver arrived on time. After a quick inspection to check the car matched my description all transactions were completed instantly. Would not hesitate to do business with David James Limited again.

DJ did my Haldex clutch oil change today, when I went to pick the car up it was still on the ramps as they wanted to show me a broken suspension spring, they pointed out a couple of minor issues. Thanks guys, great service.

Strongly recommend David James

I sold my car with David James and it was brilliant from beginning to end. Kylan was my point of contact and was excellent. It was the most smooth and straightforward process. A great price for my car, easy communication, and collection too. Payment was in the moment and the car was gone with ease. Would 100% recommend to all family and friends and will be using them again for sure!
