Hi All,
I am going for a test drive of Exige 380 and Evora 400 tomorrow, but I expect I will either go for new or used Exige as I am looking for a fun road and track car. I have an RS6 for everyday so don't need the comfort.

This is will be the first Lotus I would buy, so wondered what I should be expecting by way of discount?

I can do cash or finance depending upon the best approach for Lotus. Any views appreciated.

Gareth

Thanks for your responses.

Great test drive at Bell and Colvill. I know this will come as no surprise to you guys, but I was shocked how different the Evora is to the Exige. Stepping from the RS6, I was surprised how slowly they accelerated and if I was looking at the Evora, I would have to find the money for a used Macca MP4 instead - For the price it doesn't do enough to stop me looking to bridge the gap.

But the Exige was visceral, a selfish car, loved the thrill and not sure what else there is out there that does this. But don't think I need to buy the 380, the 350 would probably be good enough for me, as I am probably the limiting factor not the car.

Which as I am a cash buyer, probably then I look to used car and makes me wonder V6 S or 350...

Oh and getting back in the RS6 at the end, it felt like a big, old, quiet, barge on stilts. smile
