Has anyone got a big mileage Noble?

[noblesoon]

Was just wondering if they cope well with higher mileages? Most for sale (even 2.5's) seem to be under 10k miles, but as I'm looking at a 3R with 26000 under it's belt I thought I'd ask!

ps, is the sort of mileage I'm looking at really off-putting & should there be a significant adjustment of price? (can't find a price guide or comparable car for sale elsewhere!).

I put 28k on my 2.5 in just over 2 years. It never really seemed an issue when i was selling it.......

19k on mine and running like a beauty

Mine has 19 k as well, no problems

19k on mine too - and it feels the same as the day I bought it!

Higher mileages should pose no problem for a Noble, providing servicing schedules have been met throughout the car's life. In many respects, frequent high-mileage journeys are good for the engine over a long period of time. I've covered 15k in our press M400 since it was registered at the end of last year, and it's required little more than standard services and regular checks (which you'd expect, given the nature of its work).

Also please take into account that the Noble uses a highly-developed Ford V6 block which - in our experience - is an immensely robust and hard-wearing unit.

19k on mine too.

Frankly thats not high mileage.

I would have thought that "high mileage" would imply worries about things like rust and corrosion, i.e. not just the mechanical wear on the engine internals.

Is this 26,000m car from Kerridges?

Who's is
==JAY keep seeing it around Scameraville
in Silver?

[noblesoon]

Thanks for the response. Encouraging all round.
Not Kerridges, it's an 04 3R so it's done the mileage in 14 months or so. Agree up to a point that it probably does more good for it to be active rather than occasional short journeys. It has FNSH so should be OK, fingers crossed!
Anyone know where you can get custom car covers (other than the 3 which pop up on google)?

Kerridges one was sold, my guess it's the car at Newtown?

I don't think he's a PH'r Rich.
He heard about the Northants run from someone else I believe.
