Thinking of buying a 2013 Exige V6s, what to look out for?

[Gibbo205]

Hi there

Toying with the idea of trying my first Lotus as I quite love the looks of the S3 Exige and have some questions, first I see there are packs, what are they?
Race Package?
Sports Package?
Premium Package?

I see they have 345HP, do they feel proper fast, anyone timed like 0-100mph, 1/4 mile etc, I know not strictly a Lotus strength but I love squeezing the go pedal in like 3rd and being pinned in my seat.

Anyone here done Stage 1 air box and tune for 370HP, worth it?

What issues to look for and weaknesses of the car?

Thanks guys so generally seems quite a safe buy then.

What price should one be paying on a 2013 V6s with around 10k miles? I see they all seem around low 40k mark, do some trade hands as low as mid 30's or is 40k generally the bottom for a clean example?

Just for fun what is the ring lap time?

For the weight and the fact they have sticky tyres id have expected quicker.

I've got one of those fast BMW's that do 7:50 lap times, great car.
