Bought a rare Mercedes 500E from Damon & can only wish that all car traders are as honest as him { and I too am in the motor trade }. Lovely chap to deal with & RECOMMEND him highly.... | |
| Roger Woods | 28 November 2009 07:28:44 |
Most days I view your site looking longingly at your RS's which makes me hark back to the days I used to ride my push bike over to Mike Youngs RS Dealer in Ilford (long since gone) and press my nose up against the window.... | |

Hi Damon,only just noticed the Guestbook link ! Would just like to add to anybody who is thinking of buying that Damon is a very enthusiastic guy and nothing is too much trouble.Bought my Mk2 Focus RS from him after being totally messed about by my Ford dealer. Enquired about the car on the Tuesday and picked it up on the Saturday. . .now thats what I call service.This also included sorting all the finance and part ex as well.Brilliant.Would definitely purchase from Damon again. | |
| Ed Hardy | 30 October 2009 23:04:30 |
Absolutely brilliant. Cannot fault this bloke whatsoever. Nice to buy a car from someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about all cars! | |
| Jonathan Chambler | 15 October 2009 19:24:03 |
It has been a privilege to serve your business with warranty cover since 1994. | |

HI DAMON. THE S CLASS IS EXCELLENT, LOVE IT TO BITS. THANKS. | |
| Peter | 15 May 2009 16:42:18 |
I bought an Audi A8 from Damon at Christmas. It's been great. I had an air bag sensor fail about two months later and checked with Damon whether it was covered by warranty. Sadly it wasn't, but Damon being the honest upfront kind of guy that he is paid for the sensor to be replaced. This he didn't have to do but the fact that he did speaks volumes in the world today. This man you can trust. Many thanks. Pete | |
| Rod Valentine | 20 April 2009 10:43:20 |
I appreciate very much your communication and service but above all it is so good to deal with such a decent and straight guy thanks Damon for all your help. May the future go well for you. | |

Hi Damon, | |
| Martin Padfield | 31 March 2009 16:40:22 |
Just bought a lovely Lexus GS430 from Damon; great car in expected great condition and Damon was in excellent communication throughout, including taking the time to explain some of the toys in the car that were a mystery to me! It was genuinely a pleasure to do business with DJ Sargent and I would and will recommend him to any potential buyer | |

Hi Damon, I just wanted to say thank you once again for the great advice and BMW you sold me which is running perfectly by the way! You are an extremely honest and helpful gentleman and I am already looking forward to purchasing my next car from you... hopefully a Ferrari!! I hope your business continues to succeed as well as it has done and i will look forward to seeing you soon. Happy New Year!!! | |
| Scott Day | 31 March 2009 16:39:56 |
Very happy Damon with my new Porsche 911 C4S | |
| Phil Green | 31 March 2009 16:39:38 |
Damon is a doddle to do business with. He has a very 'can do' attitude which he proved by completing the deal & personally delivering the car in a very short space of time. He took care of the warranty transfer which was an added bonus. I would highly recommend him. The car was as advertised in every respect. | |
| Keith Payne | 31 March 2009 16:39:30 |
I had made an enquiry with Damon and, looking at the guestbook, it looks like there are decent sorts out there. Good for you and I hope we are able to do business together. | |
| Richard Mugford | 31 March 2009 16:39:19 |
Damon helped with the purchase of an S Type Jaguar. He delivered a fantastic car to me, which I had not even seen! | |

| Gaz Jakeman | 31 March 2009 16:37:09 |
I have recently purchased an XJ8 from Damon and what can I say, Damon is the last of the few gentleman dealers left. As a BFG customer all I can say is the after sales service was better than driving off with the new car! Chaps, if you are looking for something special to blast up the autobahn then Damon can cater for your needs. Damon, I look forward to purchasing my next car from you. Thank you again for the service and car you have provided. | |
| Muhammad | 31 March 2009 16:37:01 |
I bought my Mercedes from Damon without seeing it, based purely on his reputation. The car did have an electrical glitch but Damon sorted this like a true professional. He lives up to his reputation as a highly recommended, trustworthy dealer. In the minefield of specialist cars, D J Sargent is the Royal Engineers. Will buy again. | |
| Dean Hodgins | 31 March 2009 16:36:52 |
Bought a Mercedes SL500 from Damon. Was made aware that there was possibly a minor (eratic) fault with the vehicle and that if it returned it would be repaired. Well, it did return and Damon was true to his word with the vehicle repaired promptly. Love the car and the service I received with it. Will definitely be back when the time comes to change it. | |
| Tony Taylor | 31 March 2009 16:36:44 |
An exceptional service from an exceptional person Damon, with this being the third car we have bought from you. A very smooth administration service and now a very excited daughter, thank you very much ! We will be back when we need another vehicle | |
| ADRIAN SOTHERON | 31 March 2009 16:36:34 |
Bought a 51 reg BMW X5 3.0 back in June of 2007. Just to say it has been a joy to own up to now and has proven to be a great car. A very genuine vehicle at a great price. Hope to do business again some time, when we are ready to move on from the 4x4!!!! | |
| Steve Newnes | 31 March 2009 16:36:23 |
Damon, thanks ever so much for the marvellous manner in which you do business. I found you to be honest and approachable, with a no-pressure approach to selling. Well, it worked and I am so pleased with my MR2. Will know where to look for my next car! | |
| RENE OKUEFUNA | 31 March 2009 16:36:15 |
What a pleasant, stress free, honest, approach to car purchase. Thank you for your endless patience and directions, I love the car (SLK 200K) and I will be back in a few years to upgrade. Highly recommended, no hard sell and a perfect gentleman. Thx Damon. | |
| Chris Gilliham | 31 March 2009 16:36:08 |
Damon. Thanks for the smooth runnings during purchase of my 911/40th Anniversary. I feel like a kid again ! Car runs beautifully and it feels good to know that you will be personally be on hand in the event of any aftersales problems (Doubtful) Great personable approach. All the best in 2008. Until the next time. Chris | |
| Gavin Thurlow | 31 March 2009 16:35:33 |
Very knowledgeable and personable - Damon's service was excellent. A straight approach and an excellent quality vehicle. I would highly recommend dealing with DJ Sargent of Copthorne. Thanks! | |
| Hollie McCarthy | 31 March 2009 16:35:22 |
Hi Damon!! | |
| Paul Parsons | 31 March 2009 16:35:07 |
D J Sargent's stands out from all the rest for car sales. Damon delivers unsurpassed customer service, no hassle discussions and a fair and honest approach to buying a quality car. I have recently PX my beautiful XK8, which I originally purchased from Damon, after 3 years and it was a pleasure again to do business with him. Highly recommended - Thanks. | |
| Glenn Norman | 31 March 2009 16:34:59 |
Damon, as promised some kind and true words of thanks. Picked up my BMW 750iL and thanks to an honest and knowledgeable sales approach, and straight forward negotiation, was able to afford to fill her up as well ! Enjoyed the drive home and will honour my commitment to purchase from you again plus recommend you to others. Cheers mate. | |
| Mike Chapman | 31 March 2009 16:34:50 |
Great selection of cars undercover and time to talk it all through. Car prepped on time and offered to deliver it. Nice guy and would not hesitate to start the search for my next car here. | |
| sean goodman | 31 March 2009 16:34:39 |
Professional service at all times, great car and Damon bent over backwards to get the car ready within my timescales. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from Damon again or to recommend him to others. Noble M12 by the way. | |
| Dave Roberts | 31 March 2009 16:34:15 |
What a delightful experience from the initial enquiry to the after sales service. Started with a call to ask about the car, Damon was just so enthusiastic about the car and knew all about it. Then the visit and purchase, again everything was just such a pleasure. There was no hard sell or haggling over price or PX price, it was simply this is the price for the car and I will give you this for yours, a really nice change from past experiences or buying cars. Oh yes and the car - a BMW B10 Alpina V8, it's wonderful and I love driving it. I will be coming back in 2 or 3 years for him to source my next car. Thank you Damon for everything. | |
| Chris Vanni | 31 March 2009 16:34:05 |
It's all true what they say. How refreshing it is to have someone who has genuine knowledge, it seems of every car ! No messing about with my part exchange and gave me what I wanted for it. I bought a BMW in February which was beautifully presented and as good as described. Wouldn't hesitate in going back. Great all round experience. | |
| Phil Taylor | 31 March 2009 16:33:54 |
I bought a Volvo V70 from Damon in March. It was a superb buy. Forget about other dealers and go and talk to him. Straight talking, listens and then delivers a great package. | |
| Jiggy Nayee | 31 March 2009 16:33:39 |
Hi Damon, | |
| tim bleach | 31 March 2009 16:33:30 |
Hi Damon. Thanks for keeping the car until I got down to you. Having travelled 275 miles to see the Audi (A6 2.5 TDi Quattro Sport), it was as you described. Spot on for me. Got back in half the time. It was a pleasure doing business. Thanks. | |
| Mark Townsend | 31 March 2009 16:33:20 |
I am really pleased with the BMW and it is refreshing to find a car dealer who is prepared to invest time with the purchaser. I feel I know Damon as a friend and someone I can trust. | |
| M.C.Alman | 31 March 2009 16:33:11 |
It has been six months now, the Grand Espace is great. D.J. Sargent made buying the car painless and stress free. Looking forward to doing business again soon. Thanks. | |
| Giovanni Bracco | 31 March 2009 16:33:00 |
Damon is a very honest guy, and the Cayenne is just as described. Such fun!! I will be back in a couple of years to buy my next car!! Thanks again. | |
| David Wigmore | 31 March 2009 16:32:50 |
Have now bought my fourth car from Damon and have been absolutely delighted with them all. All the cars I bought were clean and I have done many miles since purchasing them, only really changing in the end just to move on to a newer model. | |
| Robert Rockey | 31 March 2009 16:32:41 |
I would not hesitate to recommend D.J.Sargent of Copthorne to anyone looking to buy a competitively priced, well prepared car. Damon, I found to be friendly honest and helpful. My p/ex and purchase was taken care of with no problems at all. I am really happy with my new car, an Alfa GTV. I did have a minor complaint after a couple of weeks driving it, and I contacted Damon who dealt with it courteously and went out of his way to remedy it. The whole experience has prompted me to add Sargents to my 'favourites' list so that I can keep an eye on their stock for another bargain. | |
| James Harding | 31 March 2009 16:32:33 |
Hi Damon, | |
| Patrick McKee | 31 March 2009 16:32:24 |
We have bought four BMW's from Damon over the years - most recently a 540i sport- and every car has been immaculate. Damon is polite, friendly, genuine and a pleasure to do business with. He does not pressure or force any deals, and is honest about everything involved. | |
| Simon Goodman | 31 March 2009 16:32:10 |
I purchased a beautiful Mercedes S-Class, and the complete deal, including trade in of my Alfa Romeo was all done over the phone and by e-mail. The car was as described and is terrific. | |
| Roland Pickering | 31 March 2009 16:31:56 |
Knowledgeable, Polite, No Hard Sell, can I really be describing a car dealer ? Purchased a very clean current shape Range Rover at a very keen price. No hassle, No worries. I would certainly recommend them. | |
| Peter Jackson | 31 March 2009 16:31:47 |
I purchased a Toyota MR2 from Damon. He is a nice, down to earth, no BS kind of guy . | |
| Rob Sapsford | 31 March 2009 16:31:38 |
I have now bought two 3 Series BMW's from Damon and will probably buy a third next time time round. Nice bloke nice deal ! | |
| Clive Branch | 31 March 2009 16:31:26 |
Thanks for an excellent car. I bought a 1985 Audi Quattro Turbo. Once again, thanks. | |
| Michael Herman | 31 March 2009 16:30:55 |
I recently bought a Jaguar S-Type from Damon. The car was in superb condition throughout with a full history and a high spec. It's a pleasure to drive and doing business with Damon was a professional and enjoyable experience. I will definitely buy from Damon again in the future. | |
| nick jones | 31 March 2009 16:30:44 |
I purchased a Porsche 911 Carrera 2 from Damon and am very pleased with the car and the way he does business, was a nice change compared to dealers I have dealt with before. Car is going well and have found no faults 4 weeks into it, love it. Got a great part ex deal and it was certainly worth the long trip from Liverpool. | |
| Dave Bennett | 31 March 2009 16:30:37 |
Purchased a Subaru Impreza from Damon in January 2006. He was a pleasure to deal with and was very helpful and honest throughout the buying process. I will definitely be checking his stocklist when it's time to trade in the Scooby. | |
| James Stevens | 31 March 2009 16:30:26 |
I recently bought a Porsche Boxster from Damon. It was a pleasure to buy the car from him and a refreshing change to deal with somebody who takes pride in the service they deliver. Damon delivered on all his promises, on time and at a price that I was very happy with. I will certainly be checking his stocklist again when the time comes to sell the Porsche. | |
| Alan Bate | 31 March 2009 16:29:52 |
Buying a car off Damon? I did and would do so again! SAAB 9-3 Convertible. No hassle, no hard sell, that's the car, that's the price, no problem. A very pleasant experience compared to a Main Dealer. I would recommend Damon to anyone looking for a good value car. | |
| Salim Ali | 31 March 2009 16:29:21 |
Great guy and pleasure to do business with,,,, THANKS!!!!!!! | |
| Tony Monella | 31 March 2009 16:29:13 |
Love cars, hate sales people ! That's why I will be happy to buy from D J Sargent's again and very happy to recommend them to friends and family. | |
| Tony Monella | 31 March 2009 16:28:22 |
I purchased a Lexus iS 200 from Damon recently. I found he provided me with a very honest and professional approach. The car was presented beautifully and the transaction was made extremely quick and very easy. All in all the car was a superb buy and I would be more than happy to buy from here again. | |
| Paul Webb | 31 March 2009 16:28:13 |

| John Tullett | 31 March 2009 16:28:02 |
The (used) Porsche was accurately described and very well presented. Damon's knowledge, helpfulness and obviously caring manner made buying from Sargents a thoroughly pleasant experience and I recommend his services. If you are looking for a car you would do very well to look here. | |
| Kevin O'Neill | 31 March 2009 16:27:52 |
Been looking for a Merc SL for a while now, noticed that Damon had a nice SL 320 in stock. Having bought my last car from him, I knew that I would be getting the best deal and all round service | |
| Carl Roberts | 31 March 2009 16:27:38 |
Just a quick note to thank you for the excellent service I received when I visited you last week. I am totally thrilled with the BMW and I am equally impressed with the facility you have, the long drive down was well worth it. Thanks once again. | |
| BILL THOMAS | 31 March 2009 16:27:27 |
I met Damon today and what a pleasant change to meet someone who takes so much pride in what he does for a living. No hard sell, just tells you the facts and lets you decide. Brilliant. Over the years I have bought approximately 7 Range Rovers (yes I know, I must be mad !) and this is the first time I feel I've had a really fair and square deal, for that I say thankyou Damon. | |
| Kevin Peebles | 31 March 2009 16:26:28 |
Vauxhall VX220: I bought mine from Damon after months of research. The price was reasonable, he was totally honest and the car was a dream. I've just had it serviced and the specialists have backed this up. Damon is straight as a dye and I would strongly recommend that if he has the car you are interested in you visit him. Top bloke. Took the hassle out of buying. Superb | |
| John McManus | 31 March 2009 16:26:10 |
If you are reading these comments then you probably want to buy a car! Do not hesitate to buy from Damon - he's a great bloke and his cars are beautifully prepared and presented. I bought a beautiful Volvo S60 at a really keen price and I love it. When I'm changing the Volvo I'll be flying in from N. Ireland again - will you pick me up again Damon? Thanks mate - a pleasure doing business. John. | |
| Pip Hale | 31 March 2009 16:25:59 |
I was grinning from ear to ear as I drove my new MINI home !!! | |
| Lee Gallagher | 31 March 2009 16:25:41 |
First class service. No hard sell tactics used. The standard of cars they have sell themselves. Highly recommend these guys to anyone. I'm still grinning with the standard and quality of the car I purchased from them. | |
| James Petty | 31 March 2009 16:25:31 |
I found Damon a breath of fresh air to the world of buying a used car, excellent to deal with; excellent facilities and excellent help with no hard sell or excess pressure to buy. Totally comfortable with my purchase and would use again for future cars. Highly recommended. | |
| Paris Jordanou | 31 March 2009 16:25:22 |
What can i say, it was a pleasure buying the BMW540i from you. Easy going and no pressure to buy at all. Even got a lift from the station!! Highly recommended. | |
| David & Heather Marshall | 31 March 2009 16:24:22 |
What a pleasant change to deal with an unrushed, professional. Made us feel that nothing was too much trouble and allowed us time to make up our minds about what car to buy. All your cars are in lovely condition and well prepared and all under cover. Thanks for all your advice and patience. We would have no hesitation buying from you again when the time comes. | |
| Leigh O'Brien | 31 March 2009 16:24:08 |
Good result all round, very swift, enjoyable to deal with, and importantly, the missus loves the car ! | |
| Jamie Clarke | 31 March 2009 16:23:55 |
Fantastic, friendly and honest service and knowledge from Damon on the purchase of our TT. Decided that from now on we will buy all our future cars from him - an asset to the murky world of motoring! | |
| Tony Taylor | 31 March 2009 16:23:41 |
Thanks for a wonderful service you provided for us when buying my toy (ST24) and also for my daughters Corsa which she loved. Be back for another soon as her beloved Corsa has recently been in a row with a Jag unfortunately ! | |
| Ronald Lloyd | 31 March 2009 16:23:19 |
Hi, most impressive sight Damon, love the family history. Look forward to the visit soon. | |
| Paul White | 31 March 2009 16:23:03 |
Hi Damon. Thank you once again for the quick and professional service you showed me and, by the way, the Impreza is shall we say 'good fun'. | |
| G.Woodhams | 31 March 2009 16:22:23 |
Thankyou very much. Unbelievable quick deal ! Viewed first day, finance arranged and collected a.m day two. | |
| Rob James | 31 March 2009 16:22:08 |
Nice website with good looking stock. Bookmarked for the next time the urge is upon me! | |
| Chris + Patricia Hunt | 31 March 2009 16:21:57 |
Excellent friendly service, Damon is such a nice guy, and really pleased with the Merc. | |
| Adrian Omar | 31 March 2009 16:21:38 |
Picked up a lovely Volvo S60 at a really nice price. Really friendly, professional and flexible service, should I be buying again in the future I'll certainly be considering Damon's stock again. | |
| DAVE HARDING | 31 March 2009 16:19:25 |
A BIG THANKYOU TO DAMON FOR THE SUPERB SERVICE HE GAVE ME WHEN BUYING THE OMEGA, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE CAR. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR NEW PREMISES. | |
| steven bates | 31 March 2009 16:18:57 |
Good friendly service. Love the Vectra !!! | |
| Kevin O'Neill. | 31 March 2009 16:17:17 |
Good all round service from the moment I walked in the door. Oh and another thing pleased with my BMW too. | |
| Paul Sutton | 31 March 2009 16:16:49 |
Yep, better keep your head down, the planes overhead are that close!! Very pleased with Land Rover Discovery purchased. | |
| Phil Ellis | 31 March 2009 16:16:27 |
If and when you visit the site take a camera, you won't need it for a car, but for a rather close up of the under-carriage of the occasional Jumbo (and you don't need a zoom lens either). By the way Damon isn't a bad guy either, nice stock. | |
