15k is VAT on the original price though which is lost when you drive it off the forecourt - on that basis it doesn't seem too bad, especially given the car market at the moment.

I lost 24k in 22 months on my Noble of which only 7.5k was the VAT...

He may struggle to get that money.
My Turbo lost close to 30K in 18 months!(that was two years ago).

That car was overspec'd. He took it up to RS money with carbon tat and ceramics when he could have had an RS for the cash (which comes with that kit anyway). Hence he's shot himself in the foot. Anyone spending 10k on carbon interior trim needs to think very hard first wink

p.s. Porsche's certainly do depreciate unless you buy well. Mine has barely moved in 3 years and if I hadn't put the mileage on and used it, I think I'd get slightly more private than I paid dealer! Mentally I'd resigned myself to losing 20k in 2 years, so got awfully lucky.

I bought my Noble for £44k in 2004. (6 months old from a dealer) and sold it for £30k a couple of months ago.

£14k in 4 years is £3,500 per year. Not bad for a Noble biggrinbiggrin;)smile

He's a freind of a freind, apparently never has anything standard, always has all the extras,
He has the car to go with the plate aswell (modded of course)

He spent a rumoured £26000 on a Suzuki Bandit to get it how he wanted it.
So I don't think he'll miss the depreciation money somehow.

Fair enough, although he may have to take a bigger hit than that to flip it! Couple of friends sold RSs for not much more than that.

When you sell it Dan is when you can tell us what it's lost. Anything else is window shopping....

Think the 6 is the one to keep to be honest. It's done depreciating, it doesn't have the girly driver aids, and the engine seems to be less inclined to RMS. The difference in pace isn't very big either, and mines gained a bit with the new trick dampers so wouldn't think it was slower than a standard 7. The 7 does look better though.

Anyway, can't you buy a new noble then? tongue out
