Testimonials
I have purchased many vehicles over the years, but never have I been treated as a friend rather than just another customer like Jesmond treated me on purchasing my classic car. A good honest chap with no pressure to buy, and quality classic vehicles that have been thoroughly vetted by himself before he even considers adding them to his vast inventory. If you are considering purchasing a classic car as an investment ,you can't go wrong with Jesmond and Gloria. Another satisfied customer

I feel I must write to you a letter that you may like to put to your customers. As you know I missed on a couple of your cars because of a car I was selling . However a lovely looking car came up on trade me .It was in North Auckland. I rang the older owner and found he had brought the car off a neighbour, I asked him about any rust problems . He said any rust that was there had been cut out and repaired properly. It had just been re upholstered and as the paintwork was original he had only the mudguards resprayed. It had new tyres and new wheel cylinders and brakes relined.As it had been in storage for 8yrs it had to be certified. But where he lived he said would pose a problem for getting it to the testing station. He said would I get it done from my end. He said everything had been done and it would fly through.I said I would and got it Transported to Palmerston North. When it arrived the first thing the transporter driver said was be carefull it has very poor brakes. Then takingit up a small rise to get it into my garage the clutch was slipping badly. The paint was far from original and the mudgaurds had been sprayed with an aerosol can . These are just a few problems with the car. I rang the seller up told him how disapointed I was and said if I transport it back to him will he refund my money. He said no. As all the dealings I had with him were on the phone and nothing in writing. My hands were tied. Not all Trade Me sellers are honest. Make sure you go to Waimak Classic Cars who I know deal in quality cars.

Hi Jesmond, Just a line of appreciation for your sterling efforts in selling my classic car . Your efforts have been , as always , first class.

I purchased an 1974 MGB from Waimak without actually physically inspecting it myself. I relied on Waimak's reputation and the testimonials of others. Waimak did not disappoint and is an efficient and professional company.

I had been looking for a classic car for a while, when a friend suggested Waimak Classic Cars,he purchased his MGB from them a few years earlier and was totally satisfied. I searched their stock on the internet and found a lovely classic. I was going to fly down from Auckland to view it, but after talking to Jesmond as to the condition, decided to buy it sight unseen. Gloria organised the shipping and when it arrived it was exactly as Jesmond had described. If you're looking for a quality classic you can't go wrong with Jesmond & Gloria at Waimak, I highly recommend 100%.
