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.

Just a quick note to say thank you for everything regarding my recent purchase.From my first telephone enquiry, I was left in no doubt about your knowledge, professionalism, & customer focus. I also appreciated you meeting me at the airport and dropping me back after we had inspected the car and taken it for an independent inspection as per your advice. I am very happy with the overall buying experience and the car was delivered to Auckland with everything done as agreed. Nowadays it's a rarity to find people who "do what they say they will do" and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else who is looking for a classic car.

I met Jesmond a few years ago when viewing his very fine collection of vehicles. I was impressed with the high standard of all on show, all looking in showroom = condition and Jesmonds knowledge was impressive also. When the time came to sell my classic, Jesmond immediately came to mind and following a very easy and friendly discussion, Jesmond bought and took my loved car into his care. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jesmond and Gloria to anyone in the market for high quality vehicles, they will receive the best honest,professional, friendly service they could wish for. Wishing them all the best for the future.
