FEELER: Noble M400

Let me first start off by saying, I love this car and don't really want to sell it. I was planning on doing additional mods and I will go through with them if I keep her.
I have a real estate development plan in the works and in order for me to jump in with both feet I need to be liquid. I can pull off some deals without selling my baby, but to snatch up all the lots I need a bit more.
So just putting it out there in case someone is about to pull the trigger on a new build and you like what you see here.
Save 6 months, headaches, and about $10,000.

PM or email me if you are interested.

Exceptional car but I hate it when people don't post a price. You know what you paid for it and probably have a better sense of what it is worth so...

Btw, I've been drooling over the M400 for a while now. I'll have to wait a few years and also find out whether they can be driven in Canada.

Good luck!

I thought the M400 came with the 425 hp one and the M12 GTO-3R came with the lesser powered one. Maybe "came with" isn't the wrote term considering you have to get the drivetrain elsewhere. I could definitely be wrong on this one though.

I heard M400 is a phenomenal car on track. How comfortable it is on the road compare to Elise?
Could we expect NOBLE M15 to come to America?

Isn't it sold in the US as a kit car. I wonder if we have the same exemption.

The road comfort is leaps and bounds above the Elise. The M15 has been scrapped in favor of a new project to be named soon.

Thanks for infos.
Regarding Noble new project; I thought M14 had faced modifications in favor of M15! So, actually M15 is a concept car now and not available in Europe?

The only kit car dealer I know of is Superformance. Marco Autosports in Concord carries them. Not sure if anyone carries Noble up here.

when I see something without a price, I assume the owner thinks "if you have to ask, its too much."

My interest goes down at that point. I think this is a big reason Dean T still hasn't sold his.

ooops. I'll stop chatting in the for sale forum now.

my bad

M400 runs between $85-100k new with engine depending on spec. I am sure you can do the math from there

Main distributer http://www.1gracing.com

In the Northeast http://www.atlanticsportscar.com/ascc/


Drove one recently, it is really sweet

I run with with one on regular basis. Actually got caught in the snow last Sunday with one. I know for a fact that he paid 93k for his. The only thing he does not have is a radio. . .
