Looking at the following S2 and was wondering if you guys feel it's good value?

Not bad value I'd say - whether it suits everybody's taste is another issue

Price seems about right given the air/con & hard top bits. As always, haggle hard!

If it floats your boat - then go sail

I'm not a fan of that interior (looks like the car has been on pimp my ride) and it will be an absolute nightmare to keep clean inside. Foot marks across those cream sills etc... my black ones are hard enough to keep mark free!

That's a cheap car, not everyone's taste of colour's but good spec for that price, you'd expect to pay between 23.5 - 21 k for an R with that spec and that year

think the price is ok, but Elise's aren't easy cars to sell, particularly in the rarer colours so certinaly worth bidding in the Boocks as he may not have had too many offers!

the owner of that works where I work. It's the 1st 111R I saw and it's lovely.

Personally I like the interior, it's nice and airy, and the car seems nicely looked after.

Yep like that but as said previous doesnt appeal to the masses but hey so what if it floats your boat! white is actually very much en vogue at the mo priced to sell aswell so dont insult the guy with your offer too much!

Very nice and keenly priced. I think it's worth pretty much what he's asking for it.

Yep I agree and some I'd say, Hardtop, Air Conditioning, Touring pack, and that interior must have cost about £750 that Car must have cost around 33k when it was brought and it's about a year and a half old

Its in our psyche to want to get money off and not pay the asking price but if this car presents itself with no areas to negotiate on and/or the owner will not budge! then as s works etc say it is a good to go price.

I feel a little story coming on :

I used to Own a Bmw 320i Convertible, I brought it from a Partner at work, anyway I Owned it for 10 Month's and decided to sell it as it wasn't really what I wanted from a Car, it sounded fantastic, everything was tight and above board (FBMWSH) 2 Owners including me from new, metallic grey, power hood etc etc etc, so I advertised it for about 17500 I think, or it might have been £16500. I only got to reply's and the 2nd brought it, he came round with Cash and I wouldn't drop 1p (reason being it was as solid as a rock and worth every penny).

At the end of the Day it was still £2000 cheaper then going to a dealer as is the case here

No one loved it more than me dude, but it's going to a guy who really wants a 160 and I know he'll do it justice. The new one will look just as cool mate, even more so once I start fiddling with it

A chap from SELOC, but I think he posts here occasionally. He'll be here in about 30 mins.
