Cridfords

Cridfords, independent Porsche specialists in Surrey since 1987

Cridfords operates as an independent Porsche specialist from The Street in Ewhurst, Cranleigh, Surrey. The business dates its activity to 1987 and describes itself as having built up knowledge of the Porsche marque over that period, which it applies both to the cars it offers for sale and to the servicing side of the operation.

Showroom and vehicle stock

The showroom side of the business centres on prepared and presented Porsche cars. According to the company, every car it supplies comes with a full service history and is free from accident damage. The stock shown at the time of writing included a 2016/16 Porsche (981) Boxster 3.4S PDK convertible with 35,032 miles listed at £41,995, a 2013/62 911 (991.1) 3.8 Carrera 2S Coupe PDK with 58,710 miles at £54,995 and a 2019/19 911 (991.2) 3.0 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe PDK with 36,000 miles at £85,995. The catalogue is paginated across several pages of listings.

Servicing department

Cridfords states that its servicing department has been developed over the last fifteen years and is equipped with current diagnostic and workshop equipment, staffed by trained technicians. The company says it has worked with Porsche cars for more than 25 years. Alongside workshop work it offers collection and drop-off as well as loan cars, and describes its coverage as extending from London, Surrey, Sussex and Kent to the south coast. Servicing is presented as one of the core pillars of the business, together with the showroom.

Buying, part exchange and finance

The company presents itself as a licensed credit broker able to arrange a variety of finance packages. It also handles part exchanges and invites owners thinking of selling a Porsche to request a valuation, for which it asks for specification and history details rather than relying on automated online valuation tools. Cridfords states that it often pays more than such sites and more than the guaranteed future value offered through finance agreements, and raises the possibility of equity in a PCP deal before a car is handed back.
