WHO WE ARE
Following his childhood obsession with cars, Roger Sumner first joined the motor trade in 1998 as a 'Saturday boy' at the local car accessory shop, and then Halfords whilst studying at college.
He then moved on to become a parts technician at The Oval Motor Group, the local VW main dealership, and a few years later progressed to the service desk.
Wanting to further his progress to the sales department, Roger switched brands to the nearby Mercedes-Benz dealership, Rygor Commercials, where he was then to stay for nearly the next 10 years. After a successful 5 years in the showroom, Roger was asked to manage the used vehicle department, followed by further roles in vehicle purchasing and trade disposals.
Having built lasting relationships and contacts within the local motor trade, Roger felt the time was right to go into business on his own and began trading as Cult Status Cars in June 2014.
Following two years of successfully selling quality used cars from home, Cult Status Cars progressed to an industrial unit in Westbury, which would then serve as it's HQ for the next six years.
In late 2022, and at the end of the lease in Westbury, much like many people 'post pandemic', the decision was made to address the work / life balance, be closer to the young family and return to working from home once again.
Cult Status Cars now operates from the fun and rural surroundings of the beautiful village of Whitley, which is well served with a fantastic pub, community shop and several overnight accommodation options to make your visit more hospitable and pleasurable than ever.
Combining a lifelong passion for cars with extensive prestige main dealer expertise, Cult Status Cars are able to provide you with a personal yet professional approach that will make buying your next used car easy and enjoyable, the way it should be!
