Colin spends most of his time as the company buyer, travelling all over the country to purchase quality stock he wishes to put his name to. This makes the salesman's job an awful lot easier having hand picked cars opposed to cars bought in bulk from auctions. If you cannot see the car you desire in stock please use our 'car finder' service and Colin will go out of his way to meet your requirements.

With over 20 years' experience in the motor trade, Barry is a key asset to the team, making sure your car is maintained to the highest standard possible, before and after purchase. If you have any technical questions or would like to make a service booking, please do not hesitate to give Barry a call.

Regardless of your past finance history, we focus on your ability to pay now and in the future.

If you are in full time employment, have a current wage slip and a bank account then fill in the finance application and we can help.

Bought a nissan navara from Colin Ludwell cars and what a brilliant service I got. Nick was a very welcoming, relaxed sales rep and didn't push me to make a decision. It wasn't close to home for me so I was abit worried about being disappointed but I was definitely not let down. Great service, cheers Nick.

I had a fantastic experience buying my car from Colin Ludwell Cars. I dealt with Adam throughout, who was always helpful and patient with any delays we experienced from my end. They really pay attention to detail here, with a brand new clean registration plate included. The amount of cracked reg plates I saw at other dealerships in Bristol... yikes.
Would highly recommend.

Efficient, friendly service, Nick the sales manager was great, no hard sell tactics. The whole process was seamless with me driving away with my new car there and then! I would highly recommend Colin Ludwell cars.

BE AWARE, January 2020 purchased a Mercedes B class, sold to us with FULL MERCEDES SERVICE HISTORY , but I was Silly, I trusted the salesman Nick Sims & didn't check the paperwork where a found on returning home the V5 vehicle ownership document had been filled out before, tipexed out then written over again, it was a mess a well as looking questionable, nicks response "must have been filled out before by mistake" but twice though?
The service history had NO service book just 1 print out for 1 service carried out by Mercedes a year after original purchase, car was 5 years old when we purchased

This will be the 4th car our family has purchased from Colin Ludwell's over the last 15 years. Absolutely brilliant customer service , when there was a problem it was fixed at their on site garage without hesitation, very friendly staff. Great range of cars, all in tiptop condition. Thank you for still being here.

I have just sold my car to Colin Ludwell Cars through a website called motorway. Max was efficient and a very good communicator.
The transaction to pay off my finance and pay the difference was seamless and hassle free.
Barry who collected the car was very friendly and fair whilst looking around the car; he was clearly knowledgeable.
The process was so easy that we are now in discussions of selling my partners car to the same company!
Thank you Colin Ludwell Cars!

I bought my Mini a month ago from Colin Ludwell Cards. It is my second car, but first car purchase, having previously had a ‘hand me down’. Adam was very patient with me whilst I contemplated back and forth for 7 hours...! But he was totally right - excellent car and at a competitive price. Haven’t looked back since! Great customer service throughout the buying and part-exchange experience.

Bought Evoque went wrong after 5 weeks, yes repaired it, same fault after 6 months but wouldn’t collect car which couldn’t be driven, did offer to put on diagnostic testing, so if your far away don’t bother, if in Bristol then maybe

The guys at Colin Ludwell cars are great. I dealt with Nick who was the consummate professional and very friendly. Buying a car can be a fraught process but the experience was 5 stars on every level. I would definitely buy from CL Cars again and I have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and strangers alike. Thanks guys.
