Noble Running Costs
Discussion
Hi, After a (quick) search on Pistonheads I haven't managed to find a thread specifically on Noble total running costs, so hoping you can help out. Looking at M12 GTO 3R's at the moment but want to go into it being realistic and with eyes open so to speak.
How much is a realistic amount to budget per year to run an M12? Not including insurance, but including everything else, so servicing, tyres, other consumables and any major work that tends to need doing (i.e. clutch etc).
Would be running as a 2nd car with a daily driver for work in the winter / when it's raining, so roughly 6k miles per year and the odd track / airfield driving day.
Info from owners who have run one for a while would be appreciated, and an idea of how much you need to spend and how much would be a sensible amount to put aside for unforeseen problems.
Thanks

Not a bad start. Not had mine long (less than 24hrs
) so can't comment on personal experience but there are lots of threads on here about it. More sifting needed if the search doesn't bring much up.

its really dependant on what you are going to use the car for, I have had mine for 15 months and it has been pretty good for reliability, I have done a couple of upgrades, actuators and remap which was about £600 but that was my choice. serviceing has been about £750 for big service and £600 for smaller service but that is every 6000 miles. Tyres, depends on what you want, I have bridgestone 050 and they are still the same ones as when I bought the car and have plenty left on after 10000 miles.
If you do get a bad one, that can get expensive and you need to think a bit laterally as many of the parts are available other than straight from the factory, also depends if you want to get your hands dirty.
Beware though, they are addictive, gives you a bit of a stirring in your pants

Thanks for the constructive responses. So would I be right in thinking that budgeting £2.5k per year / £200 a month for servicing, maintenance and consumables would be a sensible figure? (not including petrol or insurance), then if all that money isn't spent it can sit there ready if or when something goes wrong / needs replacing?
