Quick Sale of Noble
Discussion
I saw that the 2003 M12 GTO 3 that was advertised yesterday on PH at a "reduced price to sell" seemed to be snapped up same day. I thought it was agressively priced at £29,995 and although I can understand why someone might want to sell quickly, I am not too keen on the precedent. Can't seem to find any publications willing to print a RV figure for Nobles yet...
dont know how other people feel but i sold my 3r in 3 days on ph classifieds by pricing it aggresively, wasn't worried if i sold it or not but wasn't worth writing advert if i didn't make it cheaper than any of the other simularly specced/mileage 3r's ,which has only completed my noble owning experience, never have i had so much response from an advert (unbelievably free)and lost so little owning a car as special as the noble for a whole year!!!!!!!!!!,only problem is what can you buy next?...............rgds greg
Haven't seen any M400's for less than £43K private or retail? If a car is REALLY cheap it will sell quickish depends on the position/opinion of the seller I guess. I've just put my 3R up for sale at just over what I've been offered on SOR. The reasoning for doing it this way is I get to drive it in the meantime which is great with the drought we're suffering! For what it's worth my car was described in the "6 speed box and LSD thread" by a potential buyer as " a cracker" and " head and shoulders above the other car he looked at".Thats a better advert than I could have made!

Andy - how come you're selling so soon? Thought you'd just joined the Nobility!

It's my M400 up for sale at £43,950. Just won't have any <a href="www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=time&v=56">time</a> for trackdays this year so a bit surplus to requirements. Plus my garage is getting knocked down for a new one during <a href="www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=house&v=56">house</a> refurb, so it'll be homeless in summer

Hello Robp, I've had the car 9 months and absolutely loved it from every aspect of ownership,the drive, the reliabilty,a great dealer and a very helpful factory for weird questions like car seats etc! Oh and of course all the helpful replies on here when I was originally looking last summer! However, I bought the car with the full knowledge that at some point with 2 children their pulling power would be bigger than that of my beloved Noble. Frankly I'm feeling a bit selfish when I go out for a drive on my own, and coupled with the fact that I never drive it when it's raining, ( remember my "sensible or wimp" thread regarding the Britcar meet?)it means it's getting used less and less.Also the factory next to mine is possibly coming up for sale, and my sensible head is saying use the bulk of the money to put down on it! Could easily change my mind tomorrow though!

This Noble had been advertised in AutoTrader for 2 weeks at £31000 previous to the recent advert in PistonHeads..
I've been and viewed the car a week ago just before the advert in PH and can honestly say the guy had an extremely good genuine reason for wanting to sell the car quickly..
Incidently the car was emaculate and well looked after, it did have some work done i.e Gearbox and diff meshing problems which were sorted out with no expense spared.. TBH i've never met a more honest bloke and was happy/comfortable to take the car off his hands.
I'm now looking forward to driving my first Noble..From what I've experienced so far it's obviously an awesome car. (lets hope the roads dry up)
and thanks for explaining what happened, looks like you got a good deal. I know you will love the car

I think residuals are firming up. Just heard of a guy who sold his car after a year for the same money he paid for it 
Martin.
Was it a Ferrari F40 or Gullwing Merc?
A Noble you plank!
Hmmm, interesting wordage El-J as your Noble has a plank of wood where our front splitter goes!
