Car Sales in Norwich

Honest car sales and expert sourcing, tailored for people who just want to buy a decent vehicle without hassle.

Whether you’re after a reliable family car, a capable 4×4, or something a bit sportier, I keep things clear, honest and easy, start to finish.

No Games. No Guesswork. Just Good Cars.

There are plenty of dealers out there who’ll talk fast and leave you unsure. That’s not how I work. I keep things simple: clear communication, transparent pricing and no fake urgency you can find elsewhere. Every car is HPI checked, fully serviced, MOT’d if needed, and test driven for at least 50 miles, so you know it’s been properly looked at before it’s listed. You’ll get my honest opinion and a motor I’d be happy to buy myself. I take pride in what I sell, and it shows.

Cars In Stock

Every vehicle listed is HPI checked, fully inspected, fully serviced and put through an MOT if required… and ready to drive.

About Steve Bennington

   I was born in Norfolk and never left — this is home, and I care about the people in it. I’ve been into cars for as long as I can remember. I started helping out in the local garage when I was still at school, then went straight into an apprenticeship and became a fully qualified mechanic. I spent over 12 years working hands-on with all kinds of vehicles, and I’ve been buying and selling my own ever since.

Although I later moved into the gun trade for work, cars (and anything with an engine) have always been my passion. Whether it’s finding a solid family car, a capable 4×4, or something a bit sportier, I’ve spent years helping friends and family track down motors that fit their needs and budgets. 

I take real pride in the cars I choose to sell. Most of my stock is sourced privately, not from auctions, because it gives me the chance to thoroughly inspect, test drive and meet the seller in person. If anything feels off, I walk away. I look for cars that have been properly cared for, from smoke and pet-free homes, ideally with two keys, good service history and a clean MOT with no advisories, and it shows in the condition. This attention to detail means I can sell with confidence — and you can buy with it. If I wouldn’t own it myself, I won’t sell it.

My goal is simple: to take the stress and uncertainty out of buying a car and help you get something you’ll feel good driving.

Car Sourcing

Finding the right second-hand car can be overwhelming. Too many options, too many unknowns, and too much room to get stung. That’s where I come in.

Whether you’re short on time, confidence, or just want someone who knows what to look for, In addition to the cars I have in stock, available for purchase, I also offer two levels of car sourcing support for those looking for something specific:

Option 1: Sourcing Only

Tell me your budget, what you need from a car, any preferences you have and I’ll get to work.

I’ll research, shortlist, and send over handpicked options that match your spec (for example; condition, mileage, history and value).

I’ll send you the details and from there, it’s over to you. You contact the seller and handle the purchase.

Simple. Efficient. No wasted weekends staring at listings.

Option 2: Sourcing + Viewing Support

Want someone with you on the day to make sure you’re not missing anything important? I’ll not only find the right car, I’ll come with you to view it.

I’ll do the checks, ask the right questions and give you my honest opinion so you can buy with confidence. You handle the payment directly with the seller.

This is ideal for:

  • Busy people who don’t have time to deal with the whole process

  • First-time buyers who want to avoid costly mistakes

  • Anyone who hates haggling or isn’t sure what to look for under the bonnet

Previous Cars For Sale

Honestly, I didn’t even know where to start. I’ve got two kids, work, the school run, clubs… car shopping was the last thing I had time (or headspace) for. Plus, I hate the haggling bit so much! Steve was amazing. He helped me decide what I wanted/needed, sent me a shortlist of cars based on that, helped narrow it down and even came with me to see a couple. When I found the one I liked, he sorted the deal and I just turned up, paid and drove away in my lovely new car. It was easy and I didn’t feel like an idiot once. 100% would ask Steve to help me again in a heartbeat.

– Jen, Dereham

We were really pleased with the car Steve found for us. My wife and I are in our seventies, and while we've driven for years, the buying side of things has changed so much, it's a bit overwhelming now. Steve listened to what we needed, explained everything clearly and handled the whole thing from start to finish. It took all the pressure off. We felt totally looked after and the car has been just right. Would happily recommend him to anyone.
