Hi all,I have been lurking in the forum background for some time now and think I have the basic knowledge to buy a decent Noble.

Some questions:

Has any one bought a car from Kerridges in Suffolk and was it a good experience,after sales ect.

It it worth considering a cat c car(silver M12r on eBay just under 20k)

And will any of you be at the Sunday service in Woking so I can get some extra pointers on what to look for.

Thanks in advance,Neil.

Hi Neil,
I bought my 3R from Kerridges in January and can absolutely recommend their after sales service. There were minor issues early on which they paid my local garage to put right without hesitation (I'm 150 miles away) and they have also recently had the car back to replace a lambda sensor and sort out a heater box issue under warranty. Again, very good service and one of their service staff even met me there to open up on a Sunday afternoon so I could collect the car while I was in the area. Good people to deal with.
Good luck with your purchase.
Ian

Thanks Ian,

Just speaking the them over the phone was a breath of fresh air, they seemed passionate and knowledgable,if only all car dealers were like this.

I'd say you've got your answer Neil, do a deal and enjoy with peace of mind. The advert for the cat c doesn't read that well to me (info/price etc) imho. Bol with your searchsmile

Looks like Kerridges have three for sale at the moment, I'm pretty sure the blue GTO-3 is the same one that was there the day I collected mine; quite a nice colour combo, surprised it's been there so long.. I saw the Titanium 3R last month and it looked very nice but the red 3R must be very new stock.. which are you looking at?

The red one was sold this week, I like the blue colour GTO-3 but would prefer an R,hopefully will test drive both on Tuesday then make my mind up.

Kerridges are good people, and the cars they have at the moment look good. I'm about 10 mins up the road from them when in Suffolk (roughly fortnightly).

Thanks for all your replies.

Of the two cars at Kerridges,is the R really worth 6k more?

Have dealt with Kerridges for 20 years,( they've been going for a 100 years or so!).Proper old school garage, and old school service.
They turn down a lot of Nobles that they are offered that are not up to scratch,and spen a lot on prepping ( on the bits that aren't seen rather than tarting up) so there should be no concerns whatsoever in buying from them.

What can I say,drove the R and I still cannot stop thinking about it,the last time I felt this way,I ended up married.

Thanks for all the comments Kerridges have to be one of the best dealerships I have visited, only wish I could have put the deposit down today,but have a few things to deal with, so all being well next week.

What a car and surprisingly easy to drive at normal speeds,can't wait to get her on a track to see what she can do.

Hope to see some of you this Sunday in Woking,Sadly I will be in a Golf but not for long.

Neil.
