I am looking at an Exige V6 S tomorrow, as a possible purchase in place of a 996 Turbo.
Are there any issues that I should check have been addressed, recalls or weaknesses?
Any guidance will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks. Saw the car yesterday, which looked super in the advertisement pictures. Within a couple of minutes I realised that an indicator wasn't working, passenger door wouldn't unlock by any means, all 4 tyres were scrubbed to death & an engine warning light was on. For good measure, looked like a bucket of dust & grit had been thrown over it. Luckily it was only half an hour away. Would have been very disappointed if I had travelled a long distance to view it, especially when many of the cars they sell are £100k+! Took it out & really enjoyed the drive, but clearly not going to go any further with this one.

[quote=Luke H]My 350 will be coming onto the market in the coming weeks - phenomenal car but moving house and a move back to an S2 to free up some cash for the move is unfortunately the sensible option.

Thanks for the heads up with this. I can't see that I will be purchasing anything before late September now, as up against it, time wise.
As long as it's well presented for sale, by someone who's enthusiastic, has been looked after, with clear evidence of this (and not had a bucket of dust & crap thrown over it), sure it'll find a good new home.
Thanks
