Prospective buyer, a few questions.......

[SteveS2K]

Hi,

Been thinking about my next car and fancy a Noble. I'll only be looking at a 2.5 but was thinking about waiting for the GTC to be released as I guess it'll reduce the value of the other models as people trade up, any thoughts on that?

I'd also like to know what kida of servicing cost I can expect? i.e. how much have people been paying for services and any other parts that have been need?

Fianlly are there Noble dealers in the North East?

Thanks,

Steve

Steve, I'll let others respond too but the advent of the GTC should not affect trade values as it is should be a slightly different animal.

Whether you go for a used 2.5l or await a GTC is up to how much you want to fit your rearside into an M12 - the former is available now and I doubt you'll see the latter until 2005, ans that's of you order early!

Regarding servicing, well it's mostly a Ford so it shouldn't hurt the pocket too much - mine's in for its first service which is FOC, apart from the cost of any parts and the oil!

Good luck with your choices.

Steve,
I'm in for first service on Thursday but that's here in Bristol. I believe I'm correct in thinking your nearest dealer is Sheffield.
By the way, your Honda; I Presume. Is it for sale?
My mate want's one just like that. If you want, email me with the spec etc and your price.
Cheers.
Chris.

I'd like nothing more than to be able to order a GTC but the simple fact is its way beyond my budget

I was thinking that when the GTC is available that there will be a more Nobles available because peeps are moving from a 2.5, 3.0 ect.. to a GTC. If there are more available that'll force the price down a little, surely?

I'm gonna hang onto my car for a little while, just wanted to see what you thought about the effect on the GTC on Prices.

Steve, I'm in the North East and would be happy to talk about Noble ownership and what a fantastic car the 3R is etc.

You are welcome to e-mail me from my profile and I will give you a call.

Cheers,
Ian.

With any luck (for us owners, not for you!) the prices of secondhand ones won't be falling as a result of the GTC, especially now the weather is more Noble-friendly.
