Well, what can I say!I contacted Mr Charles Plumley of Newport Imports when I saw that he specialised in American vehicles. I live in France and had an RV to part exchange.As I live in the centre of France I needed to deal with someone I felt confident with.We agreed a deal and I made the 450 mile trip to Calais with my RV to meet Mr Plumley in the UK. He even agreed to meet me near the port to finalise the deal. I bought a beautiful Ford F250 Super Duty which was totally as described over the phone.Having seen pictures I have to say it was even better than expected.I am very pleased with this vehicle. It was a pleasure to deal with Mr Plumley, he made the buying experience a pleasure and I was impressed with his knowledge about these vehicles.I would have no hesitation in buying from Newport Imports again.Highly recommended.Many thanks to Newport Imports and in particular Mr Charles Plumley.

When I came down to compare a Challenger, Mustang and Camaro, I was made welcome and allowed to look over them at my leisure. Any questions I had were answered in a way showing the interest and knowledge of Newport Imports. No pressure was put on me, just friendly advice. I chose the Challenger as it had real presence, and is capable of carrying five. It is a joy to drive, with so much torque, over a wide rev range, that you rarely need to change gear in normal use. When wanted the power is phenomenal with a soundtrack to die for. I use it as an everyday driver, and it draws a lot of positive interest.

II decided that when I retired I would use part of my pension pot to fulfil a lifelong dream to own a Ford Mustang. Having searched the web I was impressed with Newport Imports service and attracted immediately to a Vapor Grey GT Coupe of which I'm now the proud owner. When I visited Newport Imports, having made the long drive up from Penzance, I found Matt very helpful and full of info on the Mustang, the test drive settled it and the deal was done! I wanted some customising done and Matt quickly arranged this so I was soon able to be driving the 'Stang back to Cornwall where now it regularly turns heads resulting in several near accidents where drivers have taken their eyes of the road. One guy went straight across a mini-roundabout and up a kerb when totally distracted! Thanks to Matt and the team at Newport Imports for their help and great customer service experience in buying my 'Stang, I'll certainly recommend Newport Imports to anyone interested in buying an American vehicle.

To all at Newport-Imports, and especially potential customers. R.E. 2007 Roush Supercharged F150 Harley Davidson AWD. I feel that a testimonial is the very least I could do for this company. I would imagine for many of us just looking at fully cleaned and prepared U.S. vehicles without a gravel car park in sight and sales people who actually do care that we get all the right information and technical answers to our obviously very frequent and tedious questions would be enough, but be warned, they go much further than this, CUSTOMER SERVICE. Their customer service is absolutely outstanding, with what appears to be total customer satisfaction (at any cost) one of their main objectives. That said, may I say a big thank you to Matt and Charles for everything they did for me. The one big question has to be though, would I buy another vehicle from Newport-Imports? YOU BET I WOULD ! ! !

Once I had made the decision to go for an American Import, I found Newport Imports on the internet and gave them a call. They were really helpful and friendly and had a number of vehicles of interest and invited me down to have a look for myself. The F150 was just what I was looking for and I settled a deal straight away. The guys were really swift in getting the vehicle ready with a new MOT etc and I collected my pride and joy a week later in tip top condition. All of my friends and neighbours have commented on what a beauty she is (I like to think also due to the many hours I have spent detailing the body since I got it) and I enjoy every minute behind the wheel. Newport Imports are specialists in this field and have great product knowledge and a really friendly team and I would recommend anyone considering a purchase to have a chat with these guys first. Many thanks for all your help.

Hi Matt, Just cleaning up my mail.I never got around to writing and thanking you for all the help you gave us with getting this car over to me in Denmark.The guys had a great journey over here and I’m still totally smitten with the car – I’ve managed to get the number plate ‘GANGSTA’ which suits it fine J It just remains to be seen how long I can hold out before convincing myself I need one with a Hemi … and the other half can have this one because, after all, ‘it’s a nice colour’ … ;-)Brilliant job, thanks again

First class service, price and experience. We had been using a 2007 discovery to tow our 3.5 tonne boat + trailer around the country, this vehicle struggled sometimes and it was in our best interests to find a more suitable vehicle for the job. We finally agreed to get an American truck, due to severe increase in power and towing potential. We are ecstatic with our new Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi due to the sheer lack of effort it needs to shift our boat around. Very pleased with Matt's help and will be eager for the new model to be released for a potential trade in !

Both Julie and myself found dealing with Matt to be an honest and pleasant experience. He was not pushy at all and both parties seemed to be very happy with the deal we shook hands on.The car itself was just as described on the internet, in immaculate condition with a low mileage and history.We travelled down to Maidstone from north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne to do the deal and it was well worth the journey.We would certainly recommend Newport Imports to any prospective buyer of genuine American vehicles.Julie is American, so she knows the business over there and she was very impressed, as I was, with the service and choice offered by Newport Imports.

I found Newport Imports on the internet and decided to take a trip down to visit them. This was very worthwhile as I found them to be very forthcoming with specifications and details of the vehicles I was interested in. From ordering the vehicle, I was kept well informed of the progress - delivery dates etc. On collection the vehicle was very well presented and all aspects were demonstrated which I found exceedingly helpful! I have since been very impressed with the after sales care that I have received when purchasing additional equipment.I would have no hesitation in recommending Newport Imports.

I purchased a Dodge Ram Viper from Newport Imports in October and I can't fault any part of that process. I checked out the website and saw the vehicle I wanted but as I live over 100 miles away I had to trust Newport's description over the phone and the images on the website, I didn't want a wasted journey. It was also important to me that I could exchange my Mitsubishi for the Viper in one day and all documentation was completed, this was done and I left as a happy Dodge owner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Newport to friends and colleagues and I expect to have more dealings with them in the future.

A couple of weeks before my 4 1/2hour drive to Newport Imports, I'd never heard of a Dodge Magnum. And I had no intention of getting a car from a dealer. All that changed.Going to Newport Imports, I slipped into a hassle-free, fair-priced transaction for an astonishing, immaculately presented Dodge Magnum. Charles and Matt do it just right, but fortunately I've had no reason to be back in touch since, because there have been no problems whatsoever.Thanks Charles and Matt!

A few years ago I purchased a Roush Stage 3 Mustang from Newport Imports.When looking for a Lincoln Navigator recently I was delighted to see that Newport Imports had a 12 month old one for sale.Like the Mustang I bought the car unseen over the phone and, in fact, collected it the next day.It might be a 250 mile drive but that's a small price to pay for peace of mind from a dealer I know I can trust.

Re: ’08 Ford Mustang Bullitt To All Concerned! I must start by saying what an absolute pleasure it was to purchase my new car at Newport Imports! Courtesy, respect, no BS, no hard sale! Just a relaxed, yet professional atmosphere, always willing to help and answer any and every question. Excellent aftercare and references in relation to insurance companies and other registration requirements. A great showroom, impeccably clean, with all Cars/Trucks/SUV’s new and used, gleaming and ready to test drive! Matt and Charles take great care to get everything right, even down to the smallest details. This I must add with a realistic and patient approach. Matt does a great job in sales and as several other customers have mentioned, always returns calls and emails – nothing is too much trouble and all issues are dealt with and rectified from pre-sale to ownership. As for the Bullitt well what can I say? Other than it manages to put an ear to ear grin on my face everyday even at 5am (and that ain’t easy)! Basically a 2010 under the skin with a few tweaks and extras …. But far better looking (in my opinion) no bling, no ‘go-faster’ orientation, just pure sleeper muscle, loaded with nostalgia and the retro feel! A great tribute to the 390 and the movie namesake! I would wholeheartedly recommend buying your next auto from Newport Imports!RegardsEd

I would like to take this opportunity to express my absolute joy with my new vehicle 'Dodge Ram 2500 Longhorn Edition'. The truck itself is perfect delivering more than was expected.The staff at Newport Imports were knowledgeable, courteous and very helpful, not pushy or looking for a sale. They even went to the trouble of moving half the showroom stock just so I could have a test drive.All my future services or requirements where the truck is concerned will be done through these guys. Buying my next truck will be with them too!

I am pleased to supply a testimonial for Newport Imports, especially to the salesman Matt.From the first phone call to driving away 8 hours later with my '03 F150 Harley Davidson, I could not have wished for a better, more complete service.It is rare to receive such customer care in the motor trade, and Newport Imports should be very proud of this service.Matt was a joy. He knew every answer to my many questions as I had never owned an American car before and made the process effortless. - I wish he worked for me!I am already saving up for a new F150 Roush version. Matt and Newport Imports will be getting my custom again.I would recommend these guys to anyone. Please, please keep it up boys and very well done!

At no time was any pressure exerted to complete the sale, and it was refreshing to be free of dodgy sales techniques.Thoroughly recommended to one and all!

This is the second Mustang I've purchased from Newport Imports but the first time I've been in a position to order one brand new and have it built to my own specification. The assistance I received from everybody to ensure I got the correct options was greatly appreciated.Regular email updates, including photos of the car when it arrived at the Florida dealership, ensured I was kept fully informed of the progress of my car from the initial order date to the day I collected it.The treatment from everybody, including the service department who ensured the car was prepared the way I wanted it, has been exemplary.I would have no hesitation in using Newport Imports for my next American car purchase and will continue to highly recommend them to anyone who enquires about my cars.Many thanks to you all for making spending so much money an absolute pleasure.

I would just like to write what a pleasant experience purchasing this car was - from the first phone call enquiry to picking up the finished vehicle. My husband and I purchased our first American car in 1977 and from then on we were hooked and have only driven yanks ever since . The people you bought from in those days were the modern day equivalent of snake-oil salesmen so what a delight it was to come into contact with the delightful Matt, who returned every phone call, replied to every e-mail and answered every question and more. He sent pictures and updates on the progress of the car. There was never any pressure selling just endless patience as this was my first purchase of my own not my husbands. So thanks again Matt - I am enjoying the car immensely

I found Newport Imports through an internet search for American Cars in the UK. Having looked at the website and the breadth of Mustangs available I made a call to Charles and went over for a test drive. I also went to other dealers but found Newport Imports more to my liking through their knowledge, approach and vehicle choice. The car was exactly what I expected and I’d like to thank Charles and the team at Newport Imports for making the acquisition process very easy and informative. Other testimonials mention a no-pressure sales approach and this is exactly what I experienced too. Ask a question and you will get a good answer and not just about the car but also about insurance, servicing and add-ons for your car. The Mustang Roush Stage 3 is a fabulous car to drive and is a definite head-turner. Every day I find another person taking a picture of it. Something you just have to get used too.

Here at Manhattan we operate a restaurant that caters for our local business community. In addition, we run an outside catering vehicle which is long and very, very heavy.We first visited Newport Imports looking for a pickup truck to tow our trailer. In the end we opted for a second hand Lincoln Navigator. It seemed to provide a more practical solution for our towing requirements as well as having the luxury of being a full 7 seater with all the toys.We have been so impressed and happy with our Navigator that we ordered a new one for import through Newport Imports. We took delivery about a month ago and are absolutely delighted.Throughout our two transactions with Newport Imports they have been informative, helpful, reliable and professional. I would not hesitate to do business again with Charles and his team and would happily endorse them as a professional and reliable operation.Ian FlitcroftExecutive ChairmanManhattan Furniture

I emailed Newport Imports about a Camaro that they had on their website, and got a phone call back within 30 seconds! (Honestly!!)Although it was a bit over my budget, they suggested that I come down for a look as the price was negotiable.I drove down with a mechanic friend and we were given plenty of time to look the car over and, an the test drive, we went as far as we needed to check the car out thoroughly.The price was now far to good to pass up on, (now UNDER budget), so I am now the proud owner of a silver 99 Camaro. We stayed for a coffee and a chat before leaving - All very civilised.Quite an enjoyable experience all round!

No gimicks and no hard sell. Newport Imports provided outstanding service and the attention to detail could not have given me more confidence that this was the company to source my new car.The 2005 Mustang is a flash back to a world renouned retro icon, and the 2008 Bullitt hit's the nail firmly on the 'retro muscle car' head. It looks fantastic, sleek and moody, deviod of all decal and badges to suggest its Mustang pedigree, this car will only be known to a few as the legend it is. It demands attention, and if not on looks it will win on the killer exhaust note - tuned to match the '69 Steve McQueen original (as with many of this cars features).This is one cool car.

We were looking for an American car and decided to buy an F150 Harley Davidson. But, on arrival at Newport Imports showroom, we fell in love with a Hummer H2.I have purchased many cars in my lifetime, both new and secondhand, but I have never experienced the hospitality and professionalism of the staff at Newport Imports. Matt in particular deserves special praise as it appears nothing fazes him, nothing is too much trouble and his attitude is second to none,The car is way beyond our wildest dreams. Its presentation and just its outright appearance is mind blowing.If you need an American car, new or second-hand, I would strongly suggest you go to Newport Imports. You will not be disappointed.*** Gary Wickham ***A special mention from me to Shaun for all he did and getting me my number plate. also a big thank you to Matt - You've made our dreams come true!*** Kim (Jaws!) ***

Hi. I'm in heaven. Just been out in my Roush Stage 1 Mustang, 4.6 litres of V8 grunt with head turning sound. A real driving experience!!!Being my first purchase of a left hooker, I was a little apprehensive. But with Matt overseeing the whole process it was totally enjoyable. No pressure selling, good direct advice and an obvious keenness to help a "first timer".After the sale, still happy to help and answer the forgotten questions about my wonderful car... THE car!! I suggest you just test drive one. It will bite you so hard, you will just have to have a Mustang!

Having decided upon a Mustang, I needed to choose which precise model; Saleen, Roush, Shelby etc. I also had to choose a dealer, ideally, one local to me, (Preston, Lancs). Ultimately, I chose the dealer who gave me the best advice, and the one I felt most comfortable with, despite having never driven a Mustang before, or the fact that, until I picked up the phone, I had never even heard of Newport Imports.Traveling 4 hours to collect a car you haven't seen from a dealer you don't know is always a little uncomfortable. However, Newport Imports had everything sorted and ready. They even opened up the showroom an hour early and collected me from the airport. - Nothing seems too much trouble.Now the proud owner of a Roush Stage 3 Ultimate Mustang, I would not hesitate to recommend Newport Imports to anyone else or indeed to buy another car UNSEEN or UNDRIVEN from Charles and his team.

We would just like to say that we are both over the moon with our new Dodge Ram 1500. We can live with the fact that it maybe drinks a little more fuel than most, because it does all the things that we ask it to do, towing, heavy loads, treking across muddy fields and roads etc.Buying it was made very easy and was a pleasureable experiance. Charles could not have been more helpful. He was very informative, explained everything about both the process of buying, and how the Dodge worked, pro's and con's etc. He was not pushy or overbearing like some we've had the misfortune of dealing with.We would recommend Newport Imports to anyone wishing for a great car and great service.

I would like to take some time to thank everyone at Newport Imports for the first class service i was provided with when purchasing my new 2008 mustang California special. They made the whole process very simple without any of the usual risk when importing a new vehicle. Also I have had the pleasure of buying several very expensive new cars normally BMW and I can honestly say that owning an American car is a uniquely satisfying experience. Normally when i purchase a new vehicle; i usually get the very annoying pressure sales routine ,but with Newport i never felt even the smallest amounter of pressure from anyone!! Since I have been driving my new Mustang I have lost count of the amount of compliments I have received, it is hard sometimes to keep the grin of my face . Please dont just take my word for it make the change using Newport you will be glad you did. Thank you and kind regards MR M COWAN

I looked through many websites, magazines and american car shows looking for a Ford F150 Lightning. Having found one Newport-Imports I set about trying to purchase my dream motor. It would be an understatment to say that Newport-Imports provided a great service. Being from Ireland there were obviously many obsticles to getting the car, this is where the guy's at Newport-Imports came good, they advised me on travel, getting my car home and to top it all off even picked me up from the airport to go to the showroom. Garages in Ireland give great customer service, but Newport-Imports provide a service which I am not familiar - a new level of service, from this; you can imagine how good my new 400bhp beast is, Immaculate, Impressive and putting a smile on my face every day.Many thanks guy's, see you next year for a Mustang!!!Mr N Gorey

Thanks to all at Newport Imports for introducing me to my new Mustang. This is my second Mustang, the first was a great car but this one is really special. The way it looks, how it sounds and most importantly the way it handles are all so fantastic I really would find it difficult to get back behind the wheel of a boring euro box. Charles impressed me with his laid back but professional approach. I most liked the way I wasn't made to feel that as I'm of the female type the only horse power I'd be interested in would be the four legged variety. I prefer at least 300 (or more) under my hood. There was no pressure, quite the opposite and now I'm very happy with my choice. I will definitely return to Newport Imports for my next Mustang and have already recommended them to friends.

No pushy salesman and vehicles in "tip-top" condition (none of which require a trip to the workshop or bodyshop).I am very happy with my F150 and I am sure I will be back for another, keep up the good work.Many thanksG.Mortley

I recently purchased a Ford F150 and would highly recommend this vehicle especially if you have kids! Your street credibility will go up considerably! The service I received from Newport Imports was excellent, everything they said they would do they did, which is a welcome relief in the car game. I have already recommended them to various friends who are having a mid life crisis and need a new toy to see them through!!!

After a small delay with the registration (which was communicated and explained well to me by the sales staff) I received my Mustang. The car did not come with the Shaker 1000 stereo I wanted but the sales staff arranged for a more than adequate custom replacement to be fitted. They also arranged for the installation of the Thatcham Cat 2 alarm I needed. The Car is fantastic and the stereo is "ear-shattering"....only thing missing is the 20" rims I am saving up for.......

The service we have received from Newport Imports in purchasing my 2005 Ford Mustang has been exceptional. They made me feel welcome and most important relaxed enough to know that I could approach them with any problems that may arise. These problems were dealt with professionally and very quickly and exceeded my expectations in all areas. I would highly recommend Newport Imports to anyone thinking of buying a new car as the service we received was excellent. I would like to thank you all very much for making my dreams come true.Paul Jones.

Five years ago after driving only European cars and vans for 20 years I decided to try something different. With no knowledge of American vehicles I started looking for information and found Newport Imports advertising a Dodge Ram pickup in my price range.After a short telephone call I felt confident with the attitude and knowledge of Charles and went to look at the truck, it was just as described and exactly what I wanted, I couldn’t wait to drive it!I am now on my third American vehicle, all purchased from Newport Imports and the "I CANT WAIT TO DRIVE IT" feeling is still there every time I open the garage doors.Thanks to Newport Imports enthusiasm in the cars that they sell, I will continue to drive these fantastic cars in the future with the piece of mind that Newport Imports after sales service and customer care are second to none.Ian Stanley

I found Shaun a pleasure to deal with. From my first visit to Newport Imports to the day I collected my car, my experience has been one of dealing with a highly professional company. There was never any heavy selling and I was left to make my own choice between the Ford F150 and a Dodge Ram 1500. Having had my new Ram for 3 weeks now, I know I made the right choice! I would definitely buy another import from Newport Imports when the time comes to change.

For sometime we have been searching for an American truck and living in the North of the Country I was reluctant to look at vehicles in the South of England. I discovered the Newport Imports website by accident and they had a Ford F150 Lariat which met my specification. Arrangements were made to visit their premises. We were greeted by Shaun, an extremely open and friendly person. It was apparent right from the beginning of our conversation there was absolutely no pressure on me to buy and nothing was too much trouble for him. After our test drive I must have bored him silly with my questions, but he took the time and patience to answer all of them in detail. We decided to buy the truck and because of the distance we were travelling we gave them a very tight timescale to have some minor scratches removed plus a full valet, all of which was completed to our satisfaction. It was essential that we were kept fully informed of the progress of the work being completed as we were arranging to travel by public transport to Newport Imports premises to collect the truck. Shaun continually telephoned us to keep us fully informed of the situation. Since we have bought the truck the level of service has continued at an exceptionally high level, queries about parts are dealt with very quickly, helpful information on how to fit them is given quite freely, totally different to some other suppliers of Imported vehicles. I would recommend anyone thinking of purchasing an American vehicle to visit Newport Imports you will not be disappointed. Shaun and Charles at Newport are both very nice people to deal with and top guys when it comes to imported American vehicles.

The SSR is the second vehicle I have purchased from Newport Imports. The first a 2000 model Harley truck I still own has now covered over 170,000 miles and works every day in our busy custom Harley shop. Both vehicles were sourced by Newport Imports to my specification. The service provided was totally professional but also with a personal touch. I have recommended several friends to Newport Imports who have also received a similar service and have nothing but praise for the operation. The SSR has now covered 10,000 faultless miles in just on 3 months and I am over the moon with it. I would recommend to anyone who wishes to purchase an American vehicle to talk to Newport Imports I know I will be when I decide to change the SSR.

I purchased my Dodge Ram Quadcab from Newport in March 2005. What follows are my personal impressions from my own experience of dealing with Newport Imports. Over the years I have purchased from a number of top marque dealers so I have a lot to compare Newport Imports with. From the start of the negotiations I was impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of Charles and Shaun. They know the vehicles they sell very well. They are likeable and easy to do business with. There was nothing that was too much trouble for them. I checked the vehicle back in with them to have some additional works done and their attention to customer care remained of a very high standard . The Dodge has attracted a lot of admiring glances. I have had no hesitation in recommending Newport Imports to others who have approached me asking where I got the truck from.DW, Orpington ,Kent, 16 May 2005

This vehicle is vulgar, ridiculously proportioned & utterly insane,- & I love it. I'm quite surprised at how docile it is when driving gently, & how quickly it changes character when you hit the loud pedal. It has covered just over 1000 miles now & I'm about to start putting it out for evaluation with our engineering staff, - the sensible ones. We were happy with the delivery time of the vehicle compared to the time we would have had to wait for the same spec vehicle from another source, although there was a premium for this. I'm also pleased that Newport has agreed to assist with any subsequent inquiries regarding servicing, aftercare & any warranty issues.

Contacted several importers initially and Newport Imports immediately stood out in terms of knowledge and enthusiasm. Very informative, making the whole ordering process simple and efficient. Naturally there was a lead-time for a new model in high demand, however this was made much easier to bear by Newport's regular updates, where they resisted the common temptation to give over-optimistic delivery forecasts. In fact, in the end I received the vehicle a week earlier that anticipated. SVA, licensing, tracker installation etc had been dealt with swiftly as soon as the car arrived in the UK and all that was left for me to do was turn up and drive away. Encountered a minor electrical fault within a few days of ownership - an auto-electrician was despatched the following day from Maidenhead to fix the problem on-site at my workplace in Bournemouth (covered by warranty, of course). Can't ask for much better than that! As a long-standing customer of Audi and a great admirer of their customer service I would say that thus far Newport have proved to be every bit as efficient but with the added advantage of a more personalized service that one often encounters from smaller companies. Don't be put off by perceived difficulties in importing an American car... leave all that to Newport Imports and you will find the whole process every bit as easy as buying from any standard UK dealership. Plus you then get to ditch your dull euro-box and drive off in a real machine!

I wanted to find out about the Company Car commercial vehicle rating of the Dodge Ram and contacted Shaun at Newport Imports. He gave me the detail that I needed and pointed out that his Company were one of the only that issues the appropriate certification. The information he provided was excellent and I decided to place an order with him. From the time of placing the order too pick up of the vehicle, Shaun kept me fully up to date with the progress. I picked up my Dodge Ram on 18th Feb ’05, drove it to Scotland that day and I am absolutely delighted with it. The profile of the vehicle is stunning and it drives like a dream. Be prepared to be stared at from all angles though. Since taking delivery of the truck I’ve had people come up to me in the street, take pictures and give me the thumbs up on the motorway. If you are thinking of buying an American import then Newport Imports are the only Company to deal with. They have a fresh approach to selling vehicles and are genuinely interested in the type of vehicles they sell. If you choose to use them, I’m sure you won’t regret it. I’d be delighted to recommend them. Arthur Agnew Chief Operating Officer Bell Security Ltd

I thought it was time to drop you a line to say thank you for such a professional job you have done in supplying my Dodge Ram. Having toyed with importing one myself for 2 or 3 years, I can only say I am glad I left it to Newport.I recently bought an accessory off the Internet, after paying $120 in tax and shipping on a $100 item I think I’ve justified your very existence. Your “nothing is a problem” attitude is genuinely a breath of fresh air and having changed cars every two years for twenty years, your ability to perform to your word is second to none.

Since my first contact with Newport Imports they have been friendly, professional, efficient and above all reliable, also providing an excellent after sales serviceI first met the guys are Newport a full 18 months before I actually bought a truck from them. I run a business that operates between France, UK and South America but I live in France. I didn´t want to buy an American vehicle in France because they work out on average 10% dearer, so looked to suppliers in the UK. After some initial `bad vibes´ with what I can only describe as `here today, gone tomorrow cowboys´ and after being given the feeling that I was being done a favour in selling me a truck, by a large company based in Central London, I decided to have a chat with an American Car Club member who pointed me in the direction of Newport. Alleluia!!!Since my first contact with Newport they have been friendly, professional, efficient and above all reliable and provide an excellent after sales service. As initially stated it was 18 months before I bought a truck mostly due to French red tape, however despite the length of time involved, at no point did Newport stop working to help me get past all of the obstacles being put in the way by the French system. OK, so they were selling me a truck but I wonder how many other dealers would have stuck with me. I am sure most would have moved on to the more easy to satisfy customers. In the end they sorted everything and I am now the proud owner of a 2004 F150 FX4. I would not hesitate to recommend Newport to anyone. Thanks Newport!!!!

I bought my Cadillac XLR from Newport Imports earlier this year. My search for a new car led to me to look at American vehicles as there was simply nothing else that appealed to me. Having looked at what was on the American market, the Caddy XLR (a Merc SL competitor) seemed to be completely original and without even seeing one in the flesh, I decided it it was the car for me. That just left where I was going to buy one. A trawl of the internet led me to Newport Imports. To be honest, I was taking a bit of a gamble... I had no experience of American cars, and no real idea of how good Newport Imports were. But I do now. First of all, the Caddy is everything it is meant to be, and I am totally thrilled with it. Secondly, Newport Imports, in my opinion, offer a service which is light years ahead of any of the UK main dealers I have ever dealt with. Unlike my experience of VW, Toyota, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Land Rover and Jeep (but with the possible exception of Audi), these people actively focus on keeping the customer happy. From the moment I ordered my Caddy I knew I was in safe hands. I received a realistic delivery date, a constant update on where it was, it was delivered on time by a transporter driver who cared passionately about cars, and even tho there was a design fault with a steering part on the car, it was dealt with immediately and in person by Newport’s MD who drove 200 miles the same day to collect the car and have it rectified. It was back to me in a flash. Since that time, I have received calls to make sure I am happy more than once. I have never once received a call from any other UK main dealer, except Audi, to make sure I am happy. What’s more, it wasn’t just a PR agency, it was Newport itself and someone who knew the history of my order. Very impressive. I cannot recommend Newport highly enough, and I am so impressed with the Caddy (which has had no problems at all, not even a rattle or a squeak, only its initial steering part which was the subject of a recall) that I would readily buy another one. If anyone hesitates because they are buying an imported car and are worried about the after-sale support, don’t... You will never get better support than from these people.
