Hi I was wandering if anybody could help me. I'm about to sign my life away and purchase a M12 GTC.
Its an early 02' model. I'm a little concerned however about the warranty issues and the fact that it only lasts 12 months(now out of date) and that it is non extendable. I've contacted some warranty firms and they don't cover Nobles obviously due to lack of demand. Can anybody tell me if they own a Noble of this age and if they have experienced any problems that should concern me. Does anybody know how much parts cost such as Turbos etc...?
Would really appreciate any help and advice.

Why not try John Noble Motorsport They developed the M12's engine and, I would of thought, would give straightforward answers. They certainly did a good job of tuning my friend's Caterham :whyisntthereasmilieforzoooooooom?:

Take the same precautions and checks you would with any car. Background checks, does it have any history, general condition, have a Noble dealer give it a check over etc.

In general they are very well built though, not that I'm biased!

This can't be a GTC - they have so far only one demo model which they take to motorshows and this does not have the roof design finished.

Must be a 2.5 GTO - there are quite a few around here that had their cars for about that period and from what I hear there are no major issues.

Mine is only about 4 months old but runs very nicely and I can only recommend it. I use it every day and it still gives me a big grin when I drive it

Go ahead and get it - you know you want it
