The Exige S really is a fantastic thing on road and track. I'd opt for a 240 of some description; either a Cup or a Performance Pack later car. Running costs are minimal and depreciation is non-existent.
It's a 240 with race pack and harnesses I'm looking at. 2008 as well so has traction control. Head (wallet) = Exige

All 2006 cars with Sports Pack had std traction control.
Hope that helps?

Feel free to PM or call me for more detailed info on Exige specs.
You should do this, I bought my Sprint through Ben 3 and a half years ago, put 10,000 miles on it and suffered the grant total of £300ish in depreciation . He's not quite accurate on the mimimal upkeep bit though; it's true service costs are not much but once the modification bug bites you can easily spend loads of money! I might also point out that you can get a brand spanking new V6 exige for c30k down at the moment...

Only slightly related, an '88 SSE 911 coupe in gun metal grey just passed me not 10 minutes ago, god it sounded and looked good! Looked like it might have been a garage queen out for a first blast of the year but how much would it be worth today? Hopefully it matters not for the owner, but I'd hate to be the person paying £50k+ on it for it to be back worth £25k in a couple of years.
I always said the bubble will only burst once new cars are being sold at daft premiums, with Porsches new GT cars I can see that coming very soon.....

Howdo young sir, hope all is well? I bet you're counting down the hours......
All very well Ben, thanks! Too right, I'm super excited already. Aimee reckons it will be with her week 14 but I've asked her to add some more bling so hopefully collecting mid-April. Hopefully...gashead1105 said:

We'll see one way or t'other I guess Anyway, in an effort to try and not polute the thread with mindless price banter, my reason for skiving off work today was this;

£6k's worth of Mazda MX5 with a salesman who's an old workmate-we had a lot of sideways fun! I'm not convinced if go for a second hand one, but seriously tempted by a new one (last of the present shape).
Massive fun being able to wrong a car out to the redline on a British B road
I've not driven an NC Mx-5, but I'm much mroe excited by the new ND.

A mate took me out in his rather nice old Saab 9-5 Aero a while back, it has nearly 390bhp and was startlingly quick especially in the midrange!
Apparently 300bhp is less than a grand and you can buy a belter for £2500, I reckon I might've found the next Scouse Q-Car....
Here's his 9-5, the Suspension drop and Hirsch alloys give it a purposeful look.....
