I'm considering arranging a test drive for Mrs. Kinky at the weekend.

Which dealer is the most flexible and friendly?

The nearest 2 I have to me are Fernhurts and Henley H - I'm located on the Berkshire/Surrey/Middlesex border.

My S used to be serviced by Fernhursts, so they are the obvious choice for me - but if there's a better/nicer/friendlier dealer, then I'd like to know about them please.

Edited to add: Can I assume that £2k is a safe/realistic/sensible amount to write off annually for servicing, etc? (excluding gas, insurance, tax, etc).

Many thanks in advance,

K

How about Racing Green?

I've always found them helpful and very friendly.

Just looked at their stock list and they only appear to have one Cerbera in at the moment.

I would recommend you get down to Fernies and see Drew or Graham! They will look after you. They have a lovely Silver Cerb in there at the moment! (Although I am biased toward that colour!)
I looked at a car in HH (its still for sale I believe), but the car at Fernies was the one I bought!

Cheers guys - as I figured - Fernies it is - although I will give a Racing Green a visit too!

And SC - as for Silver being the best colour - I have to confess it does look pretty good in Silver.

Thanks again folks.

£2k pa isnt enough to allow. Really will be £3K. Unless you do all the work yourself.
Try www.apmautomotive.co.uk - you wont find a better cerb specialist nor a better value indie.

Yes he is, just mentioned Drew and Graham as dealt with them more when I bought the car! Sorry.

Simon sold me Griff way back. Top guy. Chucked me the keys to a cerb and told to take my time a few years back when I was poking around in there one day.
