have at last taken the plunge and decided to sell and try something esle, probably a DB9.

gave her a right good clean and put her in for a full service, ad is placed in clasified section.

its strange, in some ways i want the phone to ring in some ways i dread picking it up every time it does. guess its hard parting with it as its been great fun but if i think with my head (for a change) i really dont use it enough and it is the sensible thing to do.

Good luck. I just tried a trade in..... lets just say Noble ownership looks a longer term proposition at this stage.

The garage in question offered me £13k less than retail even though I was going to buy one of their highly priced toys.

hoping because it has rear seats for the kiddies, please dont shatter this illusion by saying they are too small...lol.

i'm a bit of a fan of the DB9 too - but its a different car and I would miss the Noble

i think i would only sell mine to get a new GTR, not driven one yet so its staying

I can see the Noble becoming a future classic, so i'm tempted to keep it forever !

i had a R34 GTR before the noble, was a great car. did think about the new GTR but having had a skyline before i would like to try soemthing different,

will certainly have fond memories of the noble and to be honest can allways get another one later on if i miss it too much...lol

strange really, just it back freshly serviced and cleaned, sun is shining and had to take a couple of dvds back to the rental shop... took the noble on a 5 mile round trip....lol

my phone hasnt even rung yet, mind you i am not sure if i am sad about that or happy, car is in having a new set of eagle F1s put on it as i write, getting it back with new tyres will make it even harder to answer the phone if it rings....lol

Often discussed on the AM forum - rear DB9 seats are smaller than a 911 apparently. Drivers side with seat back leaves no room at all. Try before you buy.

did think of that, my last car was an r34 gtr so i know skylines quite well. if i bought a new GTR i could but it tax free (under an army benefit scheme). bit worried that depreciation on the GTR will be horrendous.

was at an aston dealer yesturday, the rear seats sure are limited! need to go back with the kids to see how they fit in, will be touch and go.

mind you also have to sell the noble first....lol
