We will NOT buy another Mustang from Westcoast Classics……….. YEAH RIGHT.

This is the third Mustang we have bought from Westcoast Classics, and once again the whole process has been hassle and stress free. We wanted a low mileage 2009 45th Anniversary GT Premium with extra specifications to suit our taste This added another challenge to the task but they came up with exactly what we wanted.

The vehicle arrived in showroom condition, and is a credit to their purchasing criteria.  Many thanks for the “extras” given to us on the day. They were an unexpected and much appreciated bonus. The cruise back to Taupo was most enjoyable and very economical for a 300 HP car! Our new car has impressed a lot of friends and turned many heads.

Anyone thinking of purchasing a vehicle from Westcoast Classics is most welcome to contact us on 0274924767

Dear Bryce & Lisa,
 
I recently took delivery of my 2011 Ford Mustang California Special and I wish to thank you both for the patience you afforded me as a first time Mustang buyer and it was a total pleasure dealing with a professional who knows his stuff.
 
Everything you promised was delivered and more. I am so rapt with my new car, it is such a joy to drive. I have owned many cars that I have liked but this is the first car I actually love.
 
Being a first time buyer I was apprehensive as to buying a car I hadn't seen, but you supplied dozens of photos and video and assured me it was a great car and you really did come up trumps with the end product. I have no hesitation in recommending to others to deal with your company.
 
I sing your praises to all those you stop me and ask me about the car, as it is a real 'eyecatcher'. I fully recommend to anyone wishing to buy an American classic to deal with Westcoast Classics. I made enquiries with others dealers before I went to Bryce, and I am glad I did that as Westcoast Classics out-shone them all and was streets ahead in knowledge, customer service and pristine product.
 
Thank you so much, Bryce and Lisa, I will definitely be back for my next purchase for sure.
 
Kindest regards,

Hi Bryce,
The car is everything you promised, Awesome my wife and I are very  happy. Thanks for all the help, Westcoast Classic’s have been a pleasure to work with you made the whole process an effortless journey. The thought of left hand drive permits, Customs, import agents, Agg a & Fish was very daunting and could’ve  easily put me off the whole idea, but you made it seamless from the very first conversation. You delivered everything you promised took care of all the hassles’ all I had to do is front up with the coin so it’s been excellent working with you. Already being asked how I went about it and your name is top of the list, you fulfilled a childhood dream.

Cheers Denis, New Plymouth, May 2012

For those who are thinking of importing an American Classic Car, I can but only give, my highest recommendation to Bryce Williams of Westcoast Classics limited.

This man is a total professional, has integrity, honesty and is a real pleasure to deal with. If he says its this, or its that, or it’s the other thing, it will be exactly as he has described.

You will come to a point where you will be required to make a leap of faith as all the cars are based in his Californian warehouse, and unless you want to fly there to convince yourself that the car really exists, do not be deterred. Make that leap of faith and you will be extremely thankful that you did.

The entire process was made pleasurable for me by Bryce keeping me up to speed with where the car was at any point in the entire transaction.
 
My car is everything I thought it would be, plus some, and I am very happy with it.
I can feel another purchase coming on in the not to distant future.

If you would like to speak to me in person about any of this, feel free to contact me on 0274 – 980750 and I will be more then happy to oblige.

 Hi Bryce
 
Well you probably don't really need any more testimonials for your website, but as this is the only way for your future clients to gauge whether to put their trust in you I am happy to oblige.
 
I myself read through the pages of testimonials you had already acquired in order to help make the purchasing decision easier. As everyone else has said on these pages before me, you made it easy and hassle free, took the stress out of giving away a large amount of money having not seen the car (except in photo's) and supplied a great looking, modern American icon in extremely good condition. No mucking about with foreign exchange, customs, MAF or compliance inspections, just choose, pay, drive away and most importantly no risk of being scammed or ripped off.
 
The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the attention this car brings, random strangers stop to talk about it constantly, big thumbs up come from drivers and pedestrians alike and people take photo's as you drive past.
So thanks again Bryce for the Mustang, if the drive home is indicative of the ownership experience to come I will be very happy.
 
Regards

Hi Bryce and Lisa

Hope you are both well. Testimonial from Diane and I below.

To whom it may concern

My wife and I had been considering purchasing a late model Mustang for a while. We had considered purchasing one in the States when we next visited, but one conversation with Bryce convinced us that this was fraught with a number of potential issues that could prove very costly, time consuming and frustrating.

We ended up purchasing our 2009 45th Anniversary GT Mustang through Bryce and the whole process was a breeze.

Bryce was straight up and down to deal with, everything he promised he delivered and he completely followed through the whole process for us making the purchase as simple as buying a new car in New 7ealand.

We found Bryce at all times thoroughly professional and honest to deal with and we would have no hesitation in purchasing through Bryce in the future.

Thanks again Bryce, we love our Mustang.

Tony and Diane Powell, Auckland, March 2012

Many Thanks to you for putting together a stress free purchase deal on the 2009 Ford Mustang GT 45th Anniversary Model, which I selected from your West Coast Classics web site vehicles available for purchase.   The car was presented in new car condition which is a reflection of the detail you go to make the (purchaser)  buyer feel very comfortable through the whole process.  The car is going like a dream and I am very happy driving on the left hand side while, my wife is co-piloting on her side.
Together we have driven over a 1000ks in the month since our purchase.  Any person who is looking at wanting to own an American Classic or Muscle Car, I would recommend that you contact Bryce at westcoastclassics.co.nz because the whole transaction is managed by a man who is, straight up, honest, friendly and very professional which is something I don’t think you would experience anywhere else in the world.

Signing off a very happy motorist

Hi there,

I recently purchased a 2010 Camaro which I am very pleased with, from West Coast Classics Ltd, I found the whole process of buying the car very easy and hassle free thanks to Bryce keeping me up to date with the compliance and permitting process, he did all the paper work an legal stuff, all I had to do was pick it up I found Bryce very helpful and easy to deal with - "a nice guy".

I would definitely recommend going threw West Coast Classics to anyone wanting to purchase an American car with a brilliant service. Once again thank you very much Bryce for an amazing car, looking forward to dealing with you again in the future.
 
Many Thanks

Hi Bryce,
 
Just a word of thanks for your professional manner in handling the importation of our 2010 Camaro.
After watching your website for many months and considering a trip to the States to make our own purchase we contacted you after seeing the Camaro advertised.
 
After our initial meeting I was confident enough to part with the Dollars without seeing the car apart from the many photos supplied.
 
The Camaro arrived on the exact date you had given and the condition is like a New Car !!!
 
I have only driven the Camaro from Tauranga to Auckland and I'm still smiling.
 
The total purchase process has been a pleasure and I am happy to talk to anyone considering the purchase of a Classic Car from Westcoast Classics Ltd.
 
Ken & Georgie McLeod, Auckland, February 2012

Thanks for your advice and encouragement to me to consider other options. I was keen on a mid 2000’s Roush modified Mustang.  Bryce suggested I consider a 2011 California Special with the latest Coyote engine which produces as much horsepower as the supercharged Roush.

I travelled to Tauranga to look at this car with a bit of scepticism as I really thought I'd prefer the Roush. How wrong I was and fell in love the minute I saw it. The sale process was smooth but because Christmas was looming it was doubtful the left hand drive permit would be issued by LTSA prior to the holidays. However Bryce saw it through and I was able to enjoy this car on our holidays.

Thanks Bryce for keeping us well informed during the process and the extra effort to get the permit through at the 11th hour. I would recommend West Coast Classics to anyone wishing to purchase an American vehicle.

Dear Bryce and the Team at Westcoast Classics,

I am writing to say how rapt I am with the Shelby GTC. I have just returned from a long cruise and it exceeded my expectations.
For anyone contemplating searching for their dream car, Bryce is the man for the job. From the minute I contacted him and discussed what I was looking for Bryce began the search and found the perfect car. Right through the entire process I was  kept up-to-date with exactly what was happening with numerous phone calls and emails. Bryce was highly professional and trustworthy to deal with. An extensive range of photographs helped me feel confident that the car was in the condition he described and on arrival it didn’t fail to disappoint, it was perfect.  Bryce took care of the entire process which made it easy and stress free. The expertise of this company means it is hardly worth the hassle of doing it yourself. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bryce and his team to anyone considering importing a car for themselves.

I will be back.

Regards

'In October of 2011 we became interested in a Mustang advertised on Trademe by West Coast Classic Imports. From our very first phone contact with Bryce Williams he was very helpful, honest and willing to give straight answers on that car plus others he had available.
We subsequently bought a 2010 Camaro from Bryce; it was still in the USA and required full Vinning etc on its arrival plus a Left Hand Drive permit. The car just missed one ship (purchased after shipping deadline) and arrived in NZ on boxing day when NZTA are closed for the break, the process therefore took close to 2 months but in no way due to any fault of Bryce’s. Throughout this time Bryce kept us regularly updated by phone and email with the progress of the car through the system. He sent many photos of the car including peace of mind ones of it safely packed in its container. He was also full of good advice re stripe options for the car.
The whole process was very ably and expertly handled by Bryce, all we had to do was pay a deposit whilst he handled everything else. Bryce delivered the car to us at Tauranga airport all NZ road legal and it was exactly as described in West Coast Classic Imports paperwork/advertising.  Bryce was as friendly and personable in the flesh as he had been on the phone.
If you want a hassle free import of an American muscle car then I can highly recommend Bryce Williams and West Coast Classic Imports. Their service was exemplary, no stress, plenty of information and feedback plus true to their promises. I’m willing to give verbal references to anyone who wants to know more of our experience; Bryce will have my phone number.
The hardest part of the whole process is trying to convince my wife that we now really need a second muscle car in the garage to keep the Camaro company!

Cheers

Hi Bryce

Thanks for the awesome Corvette which arrived as my Christmas present. 

I spoke to Bryce in late October about purchasing a Corvette.  He virtually within a few days had sourced a 2008 Jetstream blue (my colour) Corvette with only 10,000 miles on the clock. He sent through a series of photos which were great but did not really do the car justice!  It is truly awesome and the few people who have seen it so far have been blown away by its looks.

We arranged finance and Bryce arranged the LHD permit and all the compliance details, shipping etc. He arranged for photos of the car in California prior to shipping and a photo of it in the shipping container. 

Six weeks later it arrived in Tauranga and Bryce arranged delivery from the wharf to his premises. After a thorough going over we then received photos of the Corvette with NZ licence plates.  Bryce arranged for a transporter to bring it to Kerikeri. Throughout Bryce was professional and thorough and I would definitely recommend him to anyone wishing to purchase an American car.
