Thread: Wtb nc

    Default Wtb nc

    Anyone looking to sell / know of a nice NC? It's for my daughter... she'd really prefer an automatic, but I'm totally on-board with making her learn how to drive a manual. I'm only even considering an automatic if it's cheaper. Shooting for $7000 to $7500 price range.

    Tons of good cars in that price range, I'd expect. The NC is not a bad car in auto, actually. Just hit CL adn avoid the 2007's. That's the only year with a higher-than-normal failure rate on the motors, and even it is pretty low. 09+ is a bit better interior-wise.

    Thanks Mike. We test drove an 06 at a dealer in Frisco. She loved it (hooray!), but the one we looked at was all kinds of crappy... Traction control & airbag lights kept flashing, top was trashed, along with other little things that screamed "abuse".

    Holy cow, I was floored how tiny the NC trunk was. I felt the NB trunk was decent for such a small car.

    If you wanted to buy her a near new one, at triple the budget, I know of one.

    You can motivate me to sell my beautiful 06 GT NC winning blue with tons of upgrades if you up your budget to 10.5K!

    So far we only know what equipment are on the LE which will not has a LSD, upgraded suspension and brakes. I am sure and hope they will have one version later that has the handling package. My intent for the RF (if ever get one) will be a DD and will not see AX nor track given the weight penalty. I like mine already come with "handling package". I don't want to wrench on the RF. I am going to drive it the way it roll of the boat from Hiroshima!

    If it's the same as the regular ND, the Club is the racey one.
