Does anyone know the white exige at Christopher Neil?

[pauljack]

Hi there is a white exige touring at Christopher Neil in cheshire, they said they bought it off a guy from london via an email equiry. Is it anyones off here or do you know whos it is?
Also it doesnt have air con and on seloc people are saying that is a must on an exige? I was really excited about looking at it but now i am on a downer. It is 25.5k august 06 with 7000 miles with soft top and sport exhaust. Is this too expensive with air con?
cheers paul
Sorry i am a newbie so be nice

sorry i meant too expensive without air con derrrrr

Air Con is a must not only for the summer but for re-sale also. It's about £2k (IIRC) to have it retrofitted.

White one is a Touring, soft top conversion isn't it? In that regard I can't see it as much different from an R without aircon (someone correct me if I'm wrong, I probably am)

Yes it does get very stuffy in there if you dont turn on the aircon ,not only that but in the winter it keeps the screens alot clearer so i guess it depends on weather you could live with that . Plus it will make resale difficult as most people definatly want aircon , so will you be keeping for a very long time ?

Seen it today, tis very nice, but the aircon put me off as well.

Air con is a must in the Exige - mainly because of resale. It's odd, it's not like that with Elises but with Exiges it is.

I know the exact car you mean and the instant it said no-air con I decided against it.

Just wait until the perfect car comes up - it will eventually

It seems to me its been one of those "someone said it on a forum" and now its gospel, as it keeps being said. I had A/C in my s2 exige and I honestly could have lived without it.

When I was looking to buy my S2 Exige in 05, AC wasnt the big deal it is now, in fact I cant really remember anyone mentioning it or saying to get one with it.

I think you're absolutely right. A few years ago it didn't particularly matter; a bonus, but not essential. Not it seems to be that no aircon removes more than just £1295 from the price!
