EVO ARTICLE

[JKBELISE]

Has anyone seen EVO yet this month ? Is the article right about Noble dropping all dealers to coincide with a price drop ? Have they gone completely mad ?

Thank you --- I should log on more often --- surely this cannot be good news -- I do not like this one bit and have to say I am off to Stockport to look at the Gallardo at the weekend -- pity it is a great product

I've always dealt with the factory direct ever since taking delivery of my 3R. They are simply fantastic and bend over backwards, jump through hoops etc to keep you happy. Will be interesting to see how they cope with the extra demand etc but on past performance I'm not wooried.

A little birdy told me that the dealer network may be about to be built up again from scratch.

Now I am very confused as is my Noble dealer who still seems to be in shock - some notification might have been welcome - I love my 3R and hope you are right about the future - I suppose only time will tell

"some notification might have been welcome":

I agree JKB, and have commented twice about this here, but, so far, nothing from my (Southern) dealership! And, a short memo about the price reduction to us recent purchasers would have been considerate and businesslike!!!

I phoned my dealer this morning who had been told only a few days ago so they are still in shock. I do feel that cutting the price makes no difference to a potential purchaser but going forward will people be inclined again to buy not knowing what the price will in days or weeks. I have been through a few different makes over the last few years and thought I had found a good proposition. I will certainly not be trading up at Noble and may move again -- have the factory commented or is it simply a case of " we have made a decision and that is it " --- at the end of the day you are only any good if people by the cars - mess them around and there plenty of others who want the business

Dunno how noble win lol. They cut the price, which a lot of people and mags have been complaining about (As it has undeniably been constantly creeping up since the car came out) and they still get stick

Why not ring Noble if you are worried, you may be getting a skewed view of things if talking to a dealer who's just been cut out?

[DustyC]

NOBLE! Dont listen to the whingers! Keep cutting the price until I can do a good part-ex deal with you!

The Noble dealer network has been shelved in favour of at least three dedicated Noble sales centres, covering the north, the south and the Midlands.

Simply put, Noble Automotive was unhappy with the performance of some of its dealers and with the advent of the GTC, M400 and M14 we felt that it was immensely important to retain a tighter grip on the Noble buying experience.

Hi Simon,

When you say "North" do you mean Scotland !!!!!

When I was at the stand at the NEC yesterday, I was told there would indeed soon be a dealership in Scotland, but its not the 'north' one referred to.
