Please excuse me labeling this as a Lotus Exige - there's still no entry for Nobles!

I'm considering the sale of my 2005 Noble M400 with 5700 miles. I purchased the car at the beginning of summer, and just recently went through the long, painful process of getting it registered in California. While it's everything I wanted when I bought it - extremely fast, reliable, and a head turner - my office recently moved to downtown San Francisco which means I can only rarely drive the car. My plan is to replace it with a 2012 GTR that I can actually drive every day.

The car has been maintained and tuned by Hoover at Turbohoses.

Extras:
- Full Turbohoses exhaust system
- Heatshielded turbos
- Upgraded cooling lines
- New Optima Red Top
- 91 octane tune @ 400rwhp
- Vinyl wrapped roof

VEHICLE IS SOLD!

 

I love these cars. Glws.

 

Seen this car in person and it is clean. Great seller that is trustworthy so buy with confidence. Glws!

 

Thanks David; I hope I can still come to our meet ups with the replacement car!

I also forgot to mention, the original builder for this is Greg Robb.

 

One of my favorite cars, beautiful!

 

What a fabulous car. If this was available before I found my Ultima (I went through the CA registration process and it is a big hassle) I would have snatched it up. For folks who don't know about this car, it is a brilliant, powerful, great handling mid-engine sports car with down-to-earth service costs.

Are you the Ultima owner I met at the show over in Woodside a few months back? Either way, a huge fan of Ultimas - they are even more insane that Nobles!

 

Perhaps. I own a red one. I believe there is a black one in Woodside though. I often join the once/month car gathering at Alpine Shopping Center in Portola Valley and/or almost the weekly Saturday gathering at Santana Row. Either my Ultima or Ford GT. I am really fond of mid-engine cars.
Are you the fellow who has driven the red Noble to Santana Row?

Good luck w/the sale. As a fellow Noble owner, I can say these cars are an absolute blast...and pretty darn fast too. No nannies, no amenities (except radio, A/C), but, definitely fun. If this car is putting 400rwhp, at a mere 2,350 lbs, they would be deceivingly fast.

Somebody is getting a heck of a deal, especially with those low of miles, and considering that you already went through the hassle of getting it properly registered, and in CA out of all places!!!! LOL

PS: why don't you put it for sale on the Noble Forums? People that are looking for those cars usually hit that place first...?

 

glws....amazing car

 

Agree with Tailwag ... on all three counts. Just wanted to say beautiful car. and add the fact that you may also want to post it on Lotustalk as well. I've see Nobles get snatched on that site often over the years. GLWS.

 

Thanks for all the kind words!

I'm preparing a full sheet of mods that the car has before posting it up on those sites. I may go ahead and post it up there in the interim however.

 

Reading this makes me miss mine. What a great car. Someone please ****** this up........

 

Wow, sorry to see you have to let this car go.

I agree, Nobleforums and LotusTalk are great places for Nobles.

Hate to see a Noble go but hopefully it can stay in CA.

Took me 2.5 months to get my Noble registered in CA... mostly through Sacramento's mixups... which made me go back and forth multiple times to offices when it should have been done sooner.

But hey, red is the fastest color, right? BTW, mine has the anthracite wheels but otherwise is like yours.

 

Thanks for the comments. I don't really NEED to let it go, but want to explore the market and will sell if the price is right. There's so few for sale out there that I've tried to price it fairly.

The registration process took me about 5 months due to the DMV constantly changing it's mind.
