At Waimak Classic Cars, every vehicle has a story and so do the people behind them. Over the years, customers from across New Zealand and around the world have trusted us to help source, purchase and enjoy classic vehicles with confidence. Here are just some of the experiences shared by past clients.
From our dealings by email and phone both Jesmond and Gloria’s service was 100%. We found both Jesmond and Gloria to be outstanding people with a great passion for the preservation of classic cars in New Zealand. Thank you Gloria for collecting us from the airport so early in the morning and taking us to meet our new vehicle. It was also a wonderful chance to see your amazing / splendid collection of beautiful vehicles. Jesmond and Gloria never ever lose your love and passion for classic vehicles and the preservation of Kiwi classic vehicles. Thank you both once again for your amazing service.
Jesmond and Gloria have done a fantastic job for us in finding a new home for our classic Jaguar (which originally came into our family from Waimak Classics ten years ago). We enjoyed the open and friendly personalised approach and the professional and responsive service. Its clear the Waimak classics team are genuine in their care for customers and their cars, and we would thoroughly recommend them.
Wow, what can I say! It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you in the recent purchase of our classic car. You went over and above to ensure everything was 100% with the vehicle before taking possession, and we could not be happier with the car, so thankyou very much! The tour through your building was a highlight for my parents, reminiscing about the Jaguar days all those years ago. They will not forget the day and your hospitality. I dont think this will be our last purchase from WCC.
Having bought our 1968 340 Jaguar unseen we are more than happy with our new purchase. It looks and drives just the way you folk at Waimak Classic Cars described it and would deal with you ones again. Cheers
With over 20 years in the motor trade, I suppose my expectations were higher than most. But happy to say Jesmond and Gloria didn’t disappoint. To be honest they exceeded my expectation! I had previously seen vehicles for sale on their website, but like most “experts” in the trade thought I could get cheaper. However its a case of ‘you get what you pay for.’ And for the peace of mind of dealing with genuine honest people, and getting a car that really is as good as its described – you cant go past Waimak. A thank you gift and free drop off to the airport were great touches. And while this was my first experience, I’m sure it wont be my last. Will definitely be in touch for my next classic.
Hi Gloria and Jesmond, What a neat experience it was purchasing a car from Waimak Classic Cars. I LOVE IT !! It’s in amazing condition for 25 years old, a great driving experience and very very pleasing on the eye to look at. You’ll remember my wife called first and said she wanted to buy this car for her husband’s Christmas present, she had only looked at it online for 30 seconds haha. Buying a car sight unseen is quite a leap of faith to be honest, however we were really inspired by the magnificent array of cars you have sold over the years, what an amazing tribute to motoring, we feel quite honoured to have purchased a car from Waimak Classic Cars. Thank you. Kind regards Bill & Michele.
I really couldn’t be any happier with the Mercedes, that I purchased. The car really is every bit as good as you described – actually, better. It is absolutely mint. Pretty much everything works perfectly – incredible for a 27 year old car. The drive up from Christchurch to Auckland was a joy. 100kmh the whole way (in cruise control) with the V8 whisper quiet for the entire journey. I’m forever looking for reasons to take it for a spin! And the car constantly draws admiring looks and comments. For a ‘sight unseen’ transaction, where I relied entirely on your word as to the condition of the car, it really couldn’t have gone any better. Your professionalism and pre and post sales service is outstanding. Looking forward to my next purchase from you guys (still very tempted by black the R107!). I’ve joined the Mercedes Owner’s Club and am looking forward to showing it off at the next of their events.
My recent purchase of a classic car from Waimak Cars, makes me want to share my experience. Jesmond and Gloria are fabulous to deal with. Very professional, and obliging.They love their classic cars with a passion! From their place to my door, has been a fabulous, no fuss experience. Buying sight unseen was a bit nerve wracking but the car, and everything I was told, turned out to be a true and honest record of it all. (Complete with “Goodie Bag”)☺ I would not hesitate in recommending anyone to this business.
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.
Hi Gloria & Jesmond, thank you very much for picking me up from the airport & I’m so pleased with the Jaguar, it’s such a nice car & it drives beautifully. Thanks again.
Hi Gloria, Sorry to take so long to be in touch, but I have to let you know I have nothing but pure pleasure in me every time I drive that beautiful car. I can’t thank You and Jesmond enough for your very genuine care and organising which allowed me to purchase the car without worry. Everything you both said you would do, you did, without delay. Rest assured the champagne didn’t last long, that was a lovely surprise when I opened the boot. Thank you, such a lovely touch. Wishing you both all the very best, again you were so wonderful to deal with!
