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

  • Slavuta Drivers in Bharat are better. Considering that rules are accepted as mere suggestions and a mix of car, bicycle, motorbike, pedestrian at the same place and time, these guys are virtuosos.
  • Grandmaster T Tesla Cybertruck?
  • Ava169189168 NO driver, at any age, should get a license without completing a Driver's Ed course.
  • Golden2husky My HS friend's family had a Wagoneer. These SUVs, plus the next gen that replaced it, were very much front and center in affluent neighborhoods. They were a tough as an anvil, and about as sophisticated. What this poor truck was put through was a testament to how rugged it was. We needed the "emergency" switch in the glove box on more than one occasion to get moving. Sadly, he flipped it in a parking lot - going fast in reverse and cutting the wheel hard. Tons of tire squealing, then silence. It's over so I thought until we landed on the roof and front of hood. I watched the windshield shatter and we ended up on our side. Stupid things kids will do. The Wagoneer took on a decidedly TR-7 look after the rollover.
  • Michael S6 I learned how to drive a manual on a Ford Pinto that my roommate had in grad school. It was not a very reliable car but not worse than my Cutlass.
