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 started dealing with Jesmond several months before finally purchasing from him. Being my first purchase, I was careful and perhaps even pedantic, but Jesmond was patient and gave sage advice. There's a couple of things about him. Firstly he's completely honest - and in this world, that's not common! And secondly, he knows his cars, which gives a buyer absolute confidence. The car was exactly as he said it was. The delivery went ahead without fault and arrived in Auckland from Christchurch within 48 hours! Thank you Jesmond, I appreciate the quality of both your service and the cars you have on offer.

"Thanks again Jesmond and Gloria, for another great car. I did dally and bought something between this car and the first one, and instantly regretted it, so will never stray again! The Mustang was exactly as described and a joy to behold! And I find any excuse to drive it! As usual, your service was impeccable and follow-up outstanding, and I will continue to ensure anyone I meet looking for a quality classic, will be referred your way".
