M12 Running Costs?

[Jim_Cross]

Can someone give me a rough idea of running costs for an M12 please? Things like servicing, tyres, petrol etc

Cheers!

Jim,

Someone on here has a very good site about the running costs etc, will try to find it for you.

Excellent, thanks Jaz! Great site

Buying Jim?

[Jim_Cross]

Not this year, toying with the idea next year or the year after. Just starting to get some ideas together - I like to be prepared when I go start car hunting

I Just got my 3R in June. Best car I have ever bought. Had a Lotus Elise and a 340R before. One test drive was all it took.

Good hunting!

I've got a VX220 at the moment, and the Noble is the only logical "step up" I can see from there really - I don't think there's anything else that would deliver the driving enjoyment in that sort of price range.

My main concern is that one of the things I love about the VX is the ability to rag it on the road without doing crazy speeds. Somehow I think I'd lose that with the Noble

The only other one is the question of reliability...the VX isn't the best built car in the World, but it's simple and the engine is bullet proof

Noble are still a very new company and are always improving with each car. This site is very good at keeping you informed about problems etc.

Touch wood, nothing yet with me. I don't intend to track the car also.
