Which car would you pick?

[LSB_M3]

Hi all,

This is a random question so please throw in your comments and thought :)

(1) 2005 Noble M400, with 8,000 KM. This car is a pure sports car and a rare find. Noble uses a ford engine in this noble however they slapped 2 turbos to make it as fast as it is right now. All parts mechanically can be bought from ford. Other accessories, lights, exterior, interior, etc can be ordered from England which doesn't take long to get to middle east.
(2) 1995 Ferrari F355 coupe, with 114,000 KM. This car has high miles but it was never in any accident. All original paint and parts + full service history.

Note: The Noble is about AED 55,000 more expensive than the Ferrari.

Thanks :)

the noble looks nice... who and how mych does servicing such a car cost?

After seeing a couple of Ferraris in JBR or Jumeirah, one gets used to seeing them. The Noble on the other hand, she's a looker. Very rare...but also looks like an Exige, haha.

On the other hand, servicing and repairing a Noble will cost you way less than a Ferrari, so it depends on your length of ownerships...AED 55k extra now, or almost the same amount in maintaining an old Ferrari! :D

Finally, a Ferrari sounds better, hehe.

Ferrari FTW!

I like both, but don't think look at the 50k price difference, cause if the clutch or the timing belt have not been changed on that Ferrari, then expect to pay that difference as it is a complicated Ferrari to work with... Definitely "Noble"...

Whats scaring me is the high milage on the Ferrari. The car is owned by a member of the royal family and has been parked in door for a long time! I just happened to ask if it was for sale and the owner said hell why not :)
I haven seen the car fully cause it has a cover on, I will inshallah today.
If the car is not well maintained on the inside then that's a "NO" for me.

interior asside... samer's point is very valid. those clutchs can be a pain on the wallet

Noble for me... I just love those things, but I would add to that that it would be a more difficult car to maintain... who services Nobles?!

[Bisho]

How much the price of Nobles and Ferrari? Any photos for the Ferrari?

Both are hard to maintain and will cost you too much money, but for me, I suggest the Ferrari :)

The original owner does the service at a shop here in Kuwait who seem to be familiar with the car. They do custom cars and bikes!
They order everything from England if the parts are not available at the ford dealership. As I mentioned before, the engine is a ford mondeo with twin turbos.

I have no pictures of the Ferrari, it's a red one with beige interior, all stock.
I'm on the look out for other ferrari, my friend happened to know the senior sales person in Ferrari, who's been working there for a long time and knows almost 90% of ferrari owners in Kuwait. He promised to search for a clean low milage F355.

Patience is a key here. There is no point to rush and make the wrong decision or buy ;)
