We wanted to sell our Vintage Car and were directed to Jesmond & Gloria of Waimak Classic Cars. The association was a pleasant experience as Jesmond was a dependable, helpful and considerate person to deal with. And so too was Gloria. Richard and I are happy to recommend the services of Jesmond at Waimak Classic Cars.
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.
Hello Jesmond and Gloria, I am writing to express my appreciation for the first class service that you have given to me. I would recommend you and your company to anyone wanting to buy or sell a classic car. Good luck for the future and continue with the great work.
Best wishes,
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.
Sir thank you for your approach towards me as a client, you provide a very good service. Also thanks for the length of time your allowing me to have the car stored at your premises.
I have now sold three cars through Waimak Classic Cars and have found each set of negotiations honest and accurate. Everything that they say they will do happens and communication is clear and prompt. They run a very neat and totally professional business and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to purchase or sell a classic vehicle. I wish them every success for the future.
Jesmond and Gloria
I happened to read some of the testimonials posted on your website and after our recent dealings feel compelled to add my two cents worth despite the fact I never usually give written testimonials other than in my work environment .Firstly I have to say that everything I have read pretty much sums up your combined service and approach to selling and buying of the classic cars you represent .Secondly having brought two cars , one sight unseen, and sold two cars in the last 12 months I can only reiterate the comments of others regarding your honesty and integrity and good communication. As for Gloria’s attention to getting the logistics arranged smoothly and other follow up given the unfortunate delivery issue with one of the cars I bought, I cannot say enough and appreciate the efforts .It truly is a pleasure working with you on my NZ fleet of vehicles.
Having also had the chance to meet you and spend a few hours looking at and talking classic cars during my last visit to NZ it is a pleasure to see someone else with the same passion and knowledge of classic cars .I see that your business is not just a business but is a passion to do the right thing by the people you are working with, be they buyers or sellers and also to do the right thing by the cars you sell .Given we are now working on another sell and buy opportunity I am sure we will continue to have more dealings in the future as my little fleet takes further shape
Best Regards
I have, for many years, hankered after a Saab 900 Classic (pre 94) Convertible. For good measure the car needed to be a manual transmission. This model is very
thin on the ground in New Zealand but I was lucky enough to spot one that turned out to be from Waimak Classic Cars. Buying a car unseen from 1500 km away was
made very easy by Jesmond and Gloria. An inspection was quickly arranged and completed, and was accurate. Excellent communications made me feel very comfortable with the deal and now I have the vehicle I must say it is fantastic – exactly as described and promised.I highly recommend Waimak Classic Cars should you be in the market for such things.
I would like to thank you and Gloria for your professional services in the purchase of the Rover and the sale of the MGB. You showed us every consideration when we visited and we are very happy with our new classic car. We have no hesitation in recommending you to others, who may need your services to buy a vehicle or have one sold on behalf.
“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”.
Just viewed your ad on internet and after having bought and sold over 500 vw’s over 35years would like to compliment you on your photography and presentation,Well done.
To Whom It May Concern.
I have just completed the purchase a 1937 Vintage Car from Waimak Classic Cars.
I attest to the professionalism of both Jesmond Micallef the Sales Director and Gloria Micallef the Operations Director who was responsible for organising the delivery of the sedan to the shipping company, and its safe arrival in Sydney. I can personally recommend that any potential buyer become associated with these representatives of this fine Classic Car Company, representing this specialist motor trade in New Zealand.
I would be very pleased should any potential buyer wish to contact me, I would be happy to speak with that person.
Hello Jesmond, I wish to express my appreciation to you and Gloria for selling my car. It is a bitter sweet emotion, but the time is right to move on. I have never regretted taking it to you guys for a second. You have been great.Even though you have a stable of cars one gets the feeling as a vendor that yours is the only car you are selling.The continuous contact and attention to detail was excellent. I hope we will do business again when the opportunity presents itself.
