I think the first one is a really good price. Mileage is a bit higher tha others but it's alot cheaper and if it's been well maintained then not really a problem

differences between those 2 cars are actually very little dispite what the ad says.. the 3R has different front lights and a leather interior, almost nothing else as that GT03 has a 6 speed box which was the only significant improvement the 3R had smile

realistically if spec is same buy on condition... mileage and trim options dont really matter anything like as much as condition

I'd concur. I bought my 3R earlier this year and whilst I thought I knew enough to get me by, I missed a few things when I viewed the car. For example, mine was sold with a TDS. It turns out, after having it serviced, that it does not! My fault completely but a lesson learnt. Taking somebody along who knows Nobles and what to look out for is worth the investment, if nothing else, giving you piece of mind.
