went to MMC's today to have a shot of the SC they have just got in, but never managed to test drive it, got distracted but the ardent 2004 Red Exige NA that graeme had in. Had a test drive in that instead and loved it, brilliant power delivery.
I am presuming that i has been owned by SE'ers in the past - any history, only had 5000 miles on the clock.
it has a price of 23500, which i think represents the mileage, although he also has a 2006 exige S in which is only a couple of grand more (18000 miles)
got to make a decision tomorrow
Thoughts?

what price was the Exige S?
I've driven both and prefer the S, but the options packs on both are very important. Would rather have either over an Elise tbh also. (used to have a 111r which i ended up adding Exige bits to; wheels, suspension, tyres etc)
The power delivery of the S makes it much more desirable in my books also. none of the issues with keeping the yota lump in the power zone which is tricky on track. The Sc provides much more linear power delivery, and is way more useable on road. Very nearly bought one, till we discussed the trade in value of my 111r!
I'd avoid the SC Elise as i think a speced one would cost the wrong side of £35/36 and depreciate like an Alfa! (expect £10k+ in year 1)
Reckon the Exige should be £22/23k-ish and wont fall much from there

23495- looks like awesome VFM to me - I would be sh*t bricks if I had bought one of the run-out of NAs with them up at that money!
Off to hunt for this Exige S at " a couple of grand more"

You may wonder how the 'S' would have been if you buy the 'NA' Exige. So if you can afford the extra money go for the 'S' and never look back.

Is it definately an S? Seems way too cheap, especially at a main dealer.

I have a colleague here selling a 2007 07 plate Elise in red with 2000 miles. It has the sport, supersport and touring pack if that is any interest?
I know it is available at a very competitive price.
