WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Verified
This is how it should be, Fun!
I found the Speedster I wanted, at the price I wanted, and it all felt very respectful and well, easy. Andrew was very knowledgeable and re-assuring and kept me informed all the way. Deal went smoothly. Recommend.

Very impressed with the Speedsters Team.
They took the sting out things and saved me the time and hassle of preparing and advertising my Speedster – found me a buyer the same day! I’m very pleased its gone to a good home.

Brian Clarke, Nottingham.

A pleasant experience
I was dreading the whole process of searching, calling, negotiating and finding someone to appraise my dream car. Andrew at Speedsters took care of everything – and I mean everything! Even sorting out the logbooks and number plate, I barley lifted a finger! Great service.

Lucy Sherwood, Falmouth.

Really happy with the result.
I had advertised my Speedster on the usual car sites and got fed up with the timewasters. I met the Speedsters team at the motor show and decided to take a punt with them – they wanted a few weeks exclusivity – but that said, they found a buyer within two weeks, and I got slightly more than expected! When does that ever happen? Very, very happy, But I miss my Speedster on sunny days. Highly Recommended.

The best way to buy a Speedster
I had been looking for the right colour and specification for ages, I changed my mind a few times, but I must say, Andrew at Speedsters was very patient and never made me feel at any point like I was being fussy, and he soon found me the colour I wanted from one of his contacts who hadn’t even advertised his car yet! Happy with the price and very happy with the service and continued support with questions I have most weeks! Highly recommended.

Elizabeth Henry. Cambridge.

Unbelievable service – next level.
I have to admit, I’m probably the most demanding customer you’ve probably ever had! Thank you for the reassurance, the advice and for travelling in person to assess my car and for finding a deserving new owner. And of course, for achieving a slightly better price than I was expecting! At least I will always have all the great pics and video you took of her before she went. Great service from the Speedster boys. 5 Stars from me.
