David is the consummate professional that puts the trust back into distance selling - Purchased a classic Mercedes for £125k sight unseen - Car arrived bang on time and just as described - David arranged transport and customs - All made nice and simple.

David is the perfect partner to have when selling your car. He's friendly and professional, and a lot of car dealers could learn from him! I had problems selling my Volvo privately, but left it in his capable hands, and he sold it. His fees are very reasonable and he has good ad coverage in The Irish Times. I'd happily deal with him again, and am happy to recommend him to others.

Trustworthy and reliable

Bought a Toyota Auris import from David. Asked my trusted mechanic go to and inspect the car. My mechanic said ‘if I had known you were buying from David I wouldn’t have bothered checking the car, I’d have just said yes!’. Solid purchase, good price, no issues. He doesn’t appear to use a dealership but has storage garages for his stock, assuming that allows him to give a better deal.

Sold car through David’s consignment sale service

Was having difficulty selling my car privately so contacted David to see if I could avail of his consignment sale service. David advertised my car and within a short period of time my car was sold. David was a pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend giving him a call.

From the Old School

From the Old School. A thorough gentleman, genuinely passionate about cars and about delivering a top-class professional service.
It is now exceptionally rare to encounter this style and approach of genuine one to one customer service and care, delivered with such honesty and trustworthiness.
Would most highly recommend for purchase or sale.

Top Class Experience - highly recommended

I would like to take a moment to rate our experience with David Golding cars. David is an excellent and trustworthy person to deal with. We came across David by virtue of his vast exposure to the classic car market here in Ireland. As soon as we met him we entrusted him with our pride and joy - a Mercedes 500 SEL, which he sold extremely quickly! He provided a knowledgeable analysis of the car & market and provided us with honest feedback throughout the whole sale process. We were sorry to see the car go but we were delighted that he found a buyer who would take similar interest and pride in this stunning car! Overall, our selling experience was simplified using David and we were so delighted to have used him. At present, we are bringing another classic to David to sell and we looking forward to yet another excellent experience. Definitely recommend David Golding Motors.

Exceeded my expectations.

Exceeded our expectations.
Just completed the purchase of a UK registered car from David.
Because of the Covid 19 lockdown I was only in the process of looking around and did not expect to be able to make a decision on a car purchase until I could travel to the various car showrooms to see the cars in action.
Having decided on model I wanted; I was browsing the car dealers when I came across David’s site which provided a detailed video test drive of the model I had in mind. I saw that the car David was offering was of a higher spec and at a more competitive price than I had seen elsewhere.
David could not have been more accommodating in bringing the car to me and facilitating a test drive which convinced me I could move forward with the purchase. David completed all of the necessary work to have the car registered, NCT’ed and delivered within a week of agreeing to purchase.
Both the service and the car have exceeded my expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending David as a true and trusted professional.

Satisfaction

Recently I had my second transaction with David which was handled very efficiently. Obviously with the first deal otherwise I would not have returned.
I would strongly recommend David to anybody considering buying or selling a car, I have done both.

Classic Car Purchase

David provided me with a great car and excellent service. His communication from start to finish of the deal was superb. He provided a very rare personal touch that I have never previously experienced from a motor dealer. His information on the car pre, during and post sale was honest and informative. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other prospective customers.

Selling with satisfaction

I reluctantly faced having to sell my classic car recently and chose David Goulding to help me do this. He has years of experience and knows the market place. Once we had agreed selling arrangements my trust in David was fully justified as through his extensive contacts he remembered someone looking out for a car like mine from months ago. David oversaw the transaction completely justifying my trust in him. It was a pleasure doing business with him and if I decide to enter the classic car market again he’ll be the person I’ll go straight to.
