2005, that would be the very last of the cars. Having looked at what I have spent on my 3R, and the extras this car has recived, it is worth every penny. Look at what a Sagaris price is commanding and it makes this look a bargin for a rarer better looking and better handling car (IMHO)

+1, but test drive a few to compare against, if it is good then go for it the price looks good, what i will always advise is, see if anybody on these forums lives near you and can take you for a spin, this will give you a good benchmark, alternatively see if you can tempt a Noble expert into having a look over the car for you.

I would love that M400 too, but no free cash, then I have to sell my car first, and to be honest its better for me a LHD M400 but hey, those cost also more...

30k+ on upgrades, you can have a mountune engine with GT28RS, clutch, gearbox, flywheel for a fraction of that

I can take an M400 and tune to 500 real bhp for under 3K, including exhaust, comps are a 2k upgrade.
xenon headlights cost £80 for the kit and take 30 minutes to fit etc...
It went for 4k over the standard M400, which would have sounded about right for a 500bhp M400 with Comps.....but........

But imo is was given away and is the reason it sold so fast, the car is a real bargain, carbon fibre front splitter, C/F end plates, C/F rear diffuser, upgraded discs, DVD and satnav, radar detector, car cover and luggage pack, all throwmn in for free
How do you know how much you can get for something unless you start high and then go lower, he may have been capable of getting alot more for this car, 4k over was paid for upgrades without even flinching

Damn nice car, i would also have snapped his hand off

Mines a 56 plate so late 2006 are the last cars.

I agree, i wouldn't have been surprised in the slightest if it had sold for 45K.

Also agree, sounds like you've got a bargain there Sean, well done. I'd have jumped on that if I hadn't already bought mine,- even though I don't really like black on a Noble!

Compomotive wheels aren't 2k, not even close.

How much?

[Blu3R]

A smidge under half that

those comps were just over a grand when i put them on about 2-3yrs ago. this was my car, sold to duncan about a year ago. spent quite a bit on upgrading the car to how i wanted it, mostly handling and reliability rather than just engine for more power. looks good value at that price, dont think theres much else you could do to it now, pretty well sorted.

enjoy it sean!
