Used Car of the Day: 2006 Noble M400

Today we're going exotic with this 2006 Noble M400.


Yes, if you have to ask, it's expensive -- the asking price here is $75,000.

It's got a track oil pan and MagnaFlow exhaust without cats. The crankshaft is lightened and balanced, and there are all sorts of performance parts/mods here.

The seller has an extra set of wheels and an extra windshield. The work was done at a performance shop in the Seattle area.

Our seller is parting with the car because he or she is moving to a home that has a long gravel driveway.

If you have deep pockets and this sort of thing interests you, give it a look-see here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Long dirt driveway? That's one of the lamest excuses I've ever heard.


    Did the owner buy a cabin on a mountain top?

    It would probably be slower and definitely more trouble, but if you are going to do a supercar with a third gen Taurus motor you should have ponied up for the Yamaha SHO V8

  • 28-Cars-Later Suggestion for future QOTD: Given the fact US road infrastructure is crumbling around us why must all new cars have 20+ inch wheels with tires an inch or two thick in sidewall which literally become bent over time bc of potholes? I know initially in the 90s wheels got bigger to accommodate larger disc brakes but its gone a little too far given the road infrastructure don't ya think?

  • SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
