_Exige_ Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hey guys, Great forum Have been doing lots of reading! I'm after an Exige and in a position to buy one, almost immediately. I've seen 2 I like: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201504032314893?atmobcid=soc4 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201502020622001?atmobcid=soc4 Budget is circa £35k. I want as new as possible with low miles, good spec and history and preferably one owner. The above 2 I'm quite keen on, but why does the red one have a different front bumper and spoiler yet they're both 2011?! I'm also a little confused about the Spec and Trim on offer...?! Are they overpriced? I'd really appreciate any help, opinions etc Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Every car in our classifieds Exige section is cheaper... http://www.lotusforsale.com/ad-category/cars/exige/ There's a one owner 14k miles car for 29k for example. The revised front bumper was an MY12 change if I remember correctly so would have been changed on the cars in mid to late 2011.

_Exige_ Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi Bibs, Thanks for the reply Yes I've checked the classifieds section on here. The one you speak of has actually sold... I really want as new as possible so a 2011> registered Exige S with the 240bhp performance pack and as many goodies as possible... I'm still confused about the facelift bumper and rear spolier set up as there is a 2010 with the amendments on the classifieds here: http://www.lotusforsale.com/ads/lotus-exige-s-performance-pack-260-2010/ Yet the yellow one on Autotrader is a 2011 but it has the older appearing front clam and smaller rear spoiler...?! Do you reckon the red one I posted above is overpriced then? I mean it's a 1 owner on 15k miles, up for £36k. I'm concerned about spending too much but don't mind outlaying a bit more to get a premium top spec one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hot off the press... Lotus Newcastle have an Exige Sprint just come into stock, 1100 miles...

_Exige_ Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Ha yes I saw that on my Autotrader search earlier... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201505113355561?atmobcid=soc4 What does it have over the red one: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201504032314893?atmobcid=soc4 (Excluding the mileage!) Is it classed as more desirable the Sprint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRken Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 red one doesnt have proper seats or big brakes but is the facelift model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
