Exige S

[bridey0]

So what's for sale exige S wise 2007 onwards with low mileage at the 240-260 bhp mark. Black car at a dealer in North Yorkshire with 9k miles looks a nice example but at 30k price wise toppy??? Cheers

I think you'll find all the cars like that have moved into the 30-35 k category (from a dealer) in the last couple of months. Not sure why, but prices have firmwd a lot.

[schrodinger]

Having said that ... Silverstone seem to have one on at 27k ( not sure about the mileage). However, if it were me, I'd be looking at lipscomb who will sell off their v6 demonstrator at the end of July for 51k. Now that's a bargain.

Spotted that but rather more than I intend to spend

Driven that. Nice car. Guess prices are due to summer and track season for people?

[bridey0]

So if its been upgraded what was the original bhp? Are they all standard at 218 bhp then get upgraded or are there factory versions with more than 218 as standard ? Tks

[ad243S]

Lotus did 220, 240 and 260 versions from the factory

The one you mentioned according to car check is a 243bhp and would appear to be a standard 240 with performance pack from the factory as it has a long roof scoop and ap racing brakes.

Tks so what does the performance pack add?

[ad243S]

Performance Pack option (VIN character 4 = W) with 240 hp calibration, high flow injectors, big roof scoop, uprated clutch, 4-piston front brake callipers and enlarged front discs, variable traction and launch control

Lovely tks. What's the right price for that black car given its been for sale for a little while you think ? Tks

[ad243S]

I bought mine which is the same year and spec but with 19k miles privately 12months ago for£28k so from a dealer probably the price is about right.

Gonna be hacked off seeing my gt3 go but I have to change brand for a while .
I have to say the 997 gt3 is a bloody great car and I know I'll go back to one and I've driven the new V6 Lotus but to start with I need an older exige S.
On the look out now........

You'll struggle to find a "bargain" mate as they. Are like rocking horse Sh!* and prices will likely fir or rise. My dad recently bought a 111R for the same money I soild one for 3 years ago as the dealers just can't get the stock and most are sold before they even hit the forecort. My dads was never even advertised!

its this time of year. my gt3 wasnt advertised either i merely responded to a 'wanted' add on the Porsche forum. All this said from what i can see the depreciation on an exige S at current levels is minimal anyhow and mileage doesnt seem to play a big part in pricing as it does with 911's

The yellow car that Matt Haskins has (if it's still for sale)at Lotus Silverstone looks very good. I have bought an Exige from him before and he looks after you and only buys good cars. He also sells Lotus cars to German buyers and they are very critical.

If you find one locally I would be happy to share my ownership experiances with you, and possibly have a look too as I'm just up the road in Billericay.

Prices are very firm and have been for some time now.
