Welcome to 1st Time Car Sales

Welcome to 1st Time Car Sales Ltd

Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Chichester, 1st Time Car Sales Ltd offers a unique and welcoming car-buying experience. Set behind a stunning gated entrance on a private estate, visitors are greeted by the local horses and Jenny the donkey before discovering our carefully selected range of quality vehicles.

Founded by Thomas in 2024, 1st Time Car Sales Ltd was built on a vision of growth, trust, and customer satisfaction. As part of our continued expansion, some vehicles may initially display stocking finance. This is a standard practice within the motor trade and will be cleared immediately upon sale, fully settling our stocking finance provider and ensuring your ownership is completely hassle-free.

With over a decade of experience in the motor industry, Thomas's journey did not begin with a dealership. It started in a garage with a dream and a determination to build something special. After hanging up his sea legs and returning to the English coast following a successful career in the superyacht industry, he brought with him a meticulous eye for detail, exceptional customer service skills, and a genuine passion for exceeding customer expectations. Those values remain at the heart of everything we do today.

Professionally Prepared Vehicles

Every vehicle we sell undergoes a comprehensive preparation process to ensure it looks and performs at its very best. Each car receives a fresh service, a professional valet using only the finest products available, and a full machine polish to restore deep gloss and remove light imperfections.

To complete the process, every vehicle is protected with an 18-month ceramic coating. This advanced treatment bonds to the paintwork, providing long-lasting protection against UV rays, sun damage, dirt, road grime, and environmental contaminants, while enhancing the vehicle's shine and making it easier to maintain.

We take pride in supplying vehicles that are not only mechanically prepared but also professionally detailed and protected to the highest standard.

A Different Way to Buy a Car

At 1st Time Car Sales Ltd, we believe purchasing a vehicle should be an enjoyable, relaxed, and pressure-free experience. You won't find pushy sales tactics here—just honest advice, transparent information, and a team that genuinely cares about helping you find the right vehicle. We prefer to let the quality of our cars speak for themselves.

Competitive Finance Options through Trusted Partners
Vehicle Sourcing
Part Exchange
Sale or Return Services

Before any vehicle is advertised, it undergoes a comprehensive health check carried out by trusted independent workshops. Any required servicing, repairs, or replacement parts are completed to ensure the vehicle meets our high standards. We also provide a long MOT (unless otherwise stated) and a clear HPI report for complete peace of mind.

What truly sets us apart is our attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction. From our carefully presented vehicles to the positive feedback we receive from happy customers, everything we do is driven by a genuine passion for the motor trade and a commitment to delivering an exceptional buying experience.

At 1st Time Car Sales Ltd, you're not just buying a car—you're joining a dealership that values honesty, quality, and customer care above all else.
