New Noble buyer advice please.
Discussion
Hi all
I am pretty sure that I am going to buy a Noble M12 and was helping for a bit of advice. I have owned several elises in the past but understand that the Noble is a different beast.
I am looking for a relatively cheap (22k) and want to know what to look out for. Are there specific things in early models? Are any components prone to failure that I should check thoroughly?
I`ve seen this car for sale that looks interesting, does anyone on here know the histroy of it

Thanks in advance

The car has had a recent repair to the ecu, a new
gearbox with the upgraded atb limited slip
differential (not standard on the 2.5), and a clutch
at the same time. I'am not sure which ecu the car has,
all i can tell you is that the car idles and runs
well, and starts from hot and cold with no problems,
and would be covered under warranty if there were any
issues.
The car has the standard sump.

Thats the kiddy to buy.
A well sorted 2.5. Has open diff but I believe the torque delivery is mapped to reduce stress on it.

Apologies on the thread hijacking, im also a fellow loti owner looking to possibly upgrade to the noble route in the future... What sort of performance figures do the m12/m400 deliver and are these pretty reliable cars if not modified too much...
Looking in classifieds, didnt realise how cheap noble's had become (maybe time of year...), is it a good idea to purchase something with say 40,000 miles or spend a little extra to get a lower mileage example and less potential issues. Forgive my lack of experience with noble, havent really had access to many in the past to chat about...

I just read the spec for your Exige, are you sure the Noble would be an upgrade?Looking in classifieds, didnt realise how cheap noble's had become (maybe time of year...), is it a good idea to purchase something with say 40,000 miles or spend a little extra to get a lower mileage example and less potential issues.
