Testimonials
Dear Jesmond & Gloria, we are home in Ashburton with the Camaro. We had a good trip made even better by the card and surprise when I opened the bag on the seat. As Karen said, we never had a thank you like that when we bought a car before. Thank you for the service, it has been great to deal with you both. Thanks Karen and Bill

Thank you for the car. It arrived about 2pm yesterday, and is now safely in my garage. I have had a positive, caring and reliable experience throughout the entire process. Both Gloria and Jesmond have made a novice re buying a Classic Car pleasurable.

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.

I have recently sold my car to Mr Jesmond Micallef and found him to be a very pleasant and straightforward Classic Car enthusiast. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Micallef to anyone who might want to buy, or sell a Classic car to him.

Thanks so much for the prompt correspondence regarding the XJ6. At some point in the future I may have a car to sell and will make use of your services. I enjoyed meeting you on Tuesday, people like you with definite views and a good measure of enthusiasm are a tonic for all of us. Best wishes for 2012, may the wind be at your back.
