The salesman I dealt with at Specialist Cars York is a pathological liar. He makes false promises which he fails to meet. He talks about his imported cars being "factory fresh", which is complete nonsense. Do NOT buy from this man.

Kristian from Specialist Cars York in response to Mark

Hello Mark from Salisbury, we hope your well, country to your posting here the different adverts we keep seeing for cars we have sold to you all seem to state they are very nice, A few quotes from your most recent advertisements we have noted :- “A lovely late petrol Series 2a with overdrive ready to enjoy. “The vehicle has had a body work restoration by the previous owners and now presents really well with a naturally aged patina” “The gears do not jump or make horrible noises, and having not been used for at least 3 months she fired up nicely to be taken out for the photos” “She is fitted with good tyres and the brakes have been recently overhauled” “It has a wonderful patina and is an authentic old Land Rover ready for some fun!” “Lovely condition, solid chassis & bulkhead, bodywork restoration in recent years. Runs well. No nasty noises or jumping from the gearbox” We are pleased to see too what would appear to be a 12% profit within a few weeks on the 1st car, followed by an even better 32% on the 2nd vehicle thus proving the cars we sell are value for money. We are sure the additional work and time our admin department spent researching the history and province at no extra charge following your request after purchase aided this to happen. We wish you the best of luck in future sales.

Went to go look at a car. Damage which wasn't shown in the photos provided on the internet. Very misleading, staff (no names) even said he was a liar which says it all in my eyes. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. A

Kristian from Specialist Cars York in response to Anon

Hello Anon, as there are many specialist cars, we suspect you may have confused us with another garage, we are specifically known for providing very large numbers of details pictures as standard on our website, so customers know exactly the specifications, and what and coming to view, most vehicles on our website have as standard an industry leading 40-80 detailed pics covering numerous aspects of the cars (far higher than current industry standard on average of 10-15), some of our cars can be up to 120+, in addition as regular customers are aware we introduced our additional “60 minute media service” in late summer 2015, and can forward additional specific pictures and video within 1 hour of a phone or e-mail request. (weekday days Monday – Friday, light and weather conditions permitting). Remember, Taking lots of pictures and if required extra specific ones is easy for any sales guy to do, so we always recommend customers ask sellers private or trade to do this when looking at a car with a view to a purchase, with the modern technology these days regardless what they may say it is easy to do, we wish you luck with you quest for a car.

Specialist Cars & Kristian in particular get a BIG thumbs up from me.The cars are exactly as advertised in as much as ALL cars are spotless ( inside & out ), mechanically spot~on & then given a WARRANTY. I haven't hesitated to give them a good review at club level. STEVE~YORKSHIRE REP for the RANGE ROVER REGISTER

The car I bought from Specialist Cars York was only fit for scrap. This garage refused to refund or partial refund and rather than fix all the faults (a very long list of faults including rusty chassis, worn pistons, seized turbo, dodgy electrics) I cut my losses and listed the car on ebay as scrap/ spare or repairs only and got £700 back for it. I would like to add that this is a loss of approximately £2,000 in less than one month. Kristian at the garage was less than helpful, there is a video on pistonheads website of the faults, just search for "Specialist Cars York".
