I looked into buying a Noble in August ... spent ages talking with the dealer and with previous and current owners because I wasn't totally happy with the small warranty and horror stories that I had heard of.
The older 2.5 litre lumps, such as in that car you posted up were not very reliable and half the reason why the 3.0litre block is standard across the board now.
At the end of the day the person selling will tell you whatever they want to in order to sell their vehicle ... there is no way of proving how it's been driven on a day to day basis. All I am saying is 22,000 is a very low price for one of these cars - and especially given the problems the early cars had I would only advise caution if you were thinking about buying.
Not saying don't buy it just offering advice based on the fact that I went to buy one of these in August and was turned off of the idea.
At the end of the day the scoob is much more reliable and quicker A-B car.
IMO a Noble is def not the car you want to be buying on a budget!

Why don't you just let people make their own decision on what car they get...
I'm sure that Steve is a lot more wiser than you, also knows a fair bit more about cars than you do and also not forgetting alot more experienced than you (especially at NOT putting them in ditches!!!!)
When he normally decides on what car he is getting he actually does unlike yourself who is just a dreamer and a liar.... We are all still waiting to see this Ferrari I guess we will have to wait alot longer.....
YOUR Opinion wasn't required......
And you are way off the mark when you think that it is 'Paul'.......

It's an opinion which I am offering to him. I know that when I was looking for one of these cars I valued the opinions I got from others ...
At least I don't hide my identity behind an alias Paul!

I'm debating whether or not to use my kitcar as a Track day car rather than have it SVA'd for road use.
It should give the scoobs AND the pug a run for their money as it has a straight 6 2litre engine in a car that weighs 1/2 ton, power to weight is only 300BHP

Indy is nailed and great fun but the GP is just too good not to do the whole day.
IMHO of course
Only thing I would add, is dont do it unless you are prepared to push the car to the limit, that's what it's all about.
