Avoid this dealer, 6 breakdowns in 6 months, warranty is not worth the paper it is written on, Jason is a liar, lied about the vehicle history and new parts and when I complained he was aggressive... See more

Mercedes C280 AMG Great buying…

Mercedes C280 AMG Great buying experience, I dealt with Katie as her business partner was away at the time, I bought the car for the agreed price with the condition agreement that a full service be put on the car, which Katie paid to my preferred mechanic after purchase over the phone a week later (£510) when the car was serviced, trustworthy business and a pure pleasure to do business with. Thanks Katie 👍 very happy with my car.

Best car buying experience I've had.

I purchased a Porsche Panamera from here recently and the whole experience was perfect! I was given a more than fair price for my trade in range rover and never once felt presured into buying the car. Jason and Katie do a fantastic job and I will more than likely be back for something else in the future.

I bought a Porsche Macan from Jason

I bought a Porsche Macan from Jason. The car was exactly as described and advertised, very well prepared and came with an excellent main dealer service history. They were very helpful at every stage and also post purchase, when I had some questions.

Very honest car purchase from Karman Classics…

I’ve bought a fair few cars over the years and this was by far, the easiest and most honest experience. Jason answered all my questions promptly and was very open about the car’s true condition. A small problem occurred after purchase, which was dealt with swiftly and 100% to my satisfaction.

Great experience from start to finish

Great experience from start to finish. Jason took my initial enquiry and answered all questions I had and was prefessional throughou. I'd never bought a car without viewing before amd was nervous but the car was exactly as described and 12 months warranty included in price put me at ease. Wouldn't hesitate to use Karmen Cars again in the future.

Purchased a car from Karmann classics today, I had dealings with both Jason and Katie and found them to be really nice and extremely helpful including a 45 minute test drive in the car before buying. Found Jason to be completely honest and Katie got the car transferred over to me before I left. Best experience I have had from any dealership Thank you.

Fantastic service and really happy with the car I bought

I recently purchased a Porsche macan from Karman Classic Cars and have been really impressed by the quality of service and the quality of the car.
Jason is clearly very knowledgeable and it was refreshing to talk to someone who really knew about what they were selling after some negative experiences with other dealers earlier in my search, trying to sell me cars that weren’t as advertised.
I found everyone at Karman Classics to be welcoming and genuine and I felt like I could really trust them all. I’m very grateful I did as the car I purchased is absolutely fantastic and exactly what I wanted! I have already recommended them as a seller to a few of my friends, I would definitely look to buy from here again in the future if I needed to!

Absolutely great customer service

Absolutely great customer service, extremely friendly and trustworthy with everything. Made sure all our requirements were met and gave us plenty of time to decide what works best for us. Very smooth and positive process from start to finish as usually car buying can be stressful. This was totally stress free

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Avoid ! These wheeler dealers are dishonest to the core. I bought a BMW unseen, other than pictures on the website. When car arrived - one day later than agreed it was filthy, inside and out. Tank of diesel promised - tank was empty: Car cover promised - not delivered: Faults on car not disclosed which cost some £3K to rectify: 6 Month Warranty agreed which did not materialise. If I could give these characters zero stars then I would. Do not buy anything from this company - you have been warned!

Hi Glenn,

I've seen you've posted the same review on Yell under a different name- Robert; so I have had a look over our records for January for a purchased BMW and can't seem to find either name.
I find this really unusual that a car was delivered without fuel and filthy inside, as I'm the only one who preps the cars (being a one man band with the occasional help of my Partner Katie and friend Andy) and takes them to the garage, valeters, orders car cover and warranty recording etc. But nothing leaves without my approval.
If you'd like to get in touch then please do.

Kind regards,
Jason

Karman Classic Cars - a perfect experience.

Great service from this Company. Jason, Katy and Andy went out of their way to make my car purchase a genuine and enjoyable experience with no hard sell. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would recommend them to anyone wanting to buy a specialist used car.

Cowboy…

Bought a 2018 Audi RS3 for just under £40,000. After driving it home the hidden issues became apparent. Power cuts while driving on the motorway. Rear differential needs replacing at £3500+. Sold with oil leaks from the engine and gearbox.

Owner will block your mobile no longer than a week after sale, and never return your emails or texts. He pretends its someone else on the phone if you call from a different number.
Scum of the earth. Don't give him the chance like i did,

Purchase of car from Karman classic cars

I have to say under normal circumstances I would not have considered buying a car on line, but I found a car I wanted at Karman Classic Cars.
I decided to purchase the car, and have to say they couldn’t of been more accommodating.
This family business was a delight to deal with,Jason arranged delivery of the vehicle, (600ml round trip).
Deferred payment until I had seen and driven the car, then kept in touch to ensure I was satisfied with everything.
The car is immaculate throughout, and I am 100% happy with my purchase.
Thank you to Jason and Deni for allaying my concerns and making this purchase a pleasure.
Linda

Please read carefully before buying a car from this company, I also read these reviews and thought you know what i will give them the benefit of doubt. What a mistake that was. When my car was delivered i was very pleased with it apart from it is a Roadster and has an electric retracting roof that doesnt retract without Human Brut force helping it. I contacted them and to my amazement they knew about it and told me to keep helping it and it will eventually free of, I told them i wanted it sorting and thats where the fun begins. First they block your number, so you get clever and use another phone, i recorded the conversation but its just continuous swearing and abuse of me so i cant repeat it here. But here is the best bit. When you pay for your car you do it to a company called Hurst Court cars. You get a receipt but it only shows a very small amount the deposit but not the full amount. The receipt has no company address on it just a name Karman Classic Cars. When you get the car they send the full V5 so its not registered in your name and wont show on their accounts. Its all a big fiddle. If i had the time i would certainly pursue them through the courts but the only joy i will get from this is that the tax man will probably get to them first, or maybe trading standards. There are lots of genuine car dealers around so buy from someone else is my advice.

Jason was a great chap

Jason was a great chap. He showed me around the car then left me to look around it on my own. No salesman pressure. He did everything he said he would. Even delivered the car to my house free of charge. Highly recommended

Unprofessional

Absolutely appalled by the experience I had. I called at aprox 10:30 am to enquire about a car and to see if it was still available.... after a short conversation, I arranged a viewing (same day just 2hrs after the phonecall ). When I got to the address provided I rang a couple of times to inform them that I'm in the agreed location and there was no answer. Several minutes later, I received a text to say

"Sorry vehicle has been sold .
I didn't know.
Thank you"

Took time off work, wasted my time and fuel. The seller had no curtesy to inform me whilst on route knowing I had a 2hr drive or answer my calls to apologise for their mistake. I find this highly unprofessional for a car dealership.
