[mwmackenzie]

talk to meatybaws for a cheap S2 Exige in white???.... hahahah Gotta be worth £16K??

P.S just jesting I don't think he'd get that much, sorry mean don't think he's selling...

Not just saying this cause I have one - but some people need to get a grip when it comes to de-valueing their our pride and joys.. In the industry I'm in - there is nothing worse than people making the market worse than it is by panic selling. Soon as a few muppets undervalue then every know-it-all gets on their high horse about paying any more than "the one that went for cheaper last month.."

Paul is correct........when you want to enter the real world , I will show you the BCA auction site and current pricing
Form an orderly queue for S2 Exiges starting at £13k

Well I stand corrected.. Sorry...

But do you mean starting at 13k or selling at 13k? Cause there is a big big difference (as I've experienced at auctions when I went to look at a F348 not long ago - guide of 19k and it went for 24k).

Still don't think it's that simple though - or no-one would be selling theirs at 18/19/20k (i.e. everyone on P/H and autotrader right now..)

But hey - goodluck with the search - and I will eat my words and bend over and eat my own ass if u manage to get one for 13k.

A la DDtB stlyeeee?

[Edin430]

Yup game on

A nice straight normal example not starting at 13k but sold at 13k or less...... That's the bet ... Let's say before the end of December? Right through the hardest trading time as well - should be easy?????

Goodluck

btw - just to clarify - seein as some people don't get it (so suprised..... ) - it wasn't a lesson in auctions but your post was very misleading that's all Anyone could find a nice car starting at rock bottom prices.

You do know that Mr Boag has the only succesful Slush Puppie outlet in Alaska

Duck, joke overhead.

I am pretty sure that this guy will have been getting bids from the trade of around the £13k mark - looks clean enough to me if a little high on the miles http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/798734.htm

With Exige S at a dealers at under £23k ( http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/796580.htm ) its not surprising the NA is getting a hammering - numbers built will not have helped residuals as well as the 190 not being as nice a drive as the S.

We're talking £13k Exiges, not £10k ones.

We can bring the mouthwash!

[Edin430]

Sorry not meaning to start a big debate here... Just honestly trully believe that you will not in a million years be able to find one for sale, privately, at 13k.... As per JJ's example - £16k (and that will go quickly IMHO) is the lowest you are going to get... right now.... I think. 51k miles - 2004 reg. Seems right to me.

But yeah back on topic - Dean - Exige/111r no matter what the price - you'll have a blast

As I sit here having my morning coffee reading that the Chancellor is going to cut VAT tomorrow by 2.5%.....and in an effort to continue the thread hijack .....sorry Admin


I offer the following observationsto X7 LDA below:-

Whilst the prices I quoted for S2 Exiges were lifted from recent BCA sales, These were "Hammer Prices" of 2004/2005 vehicles. In addition the sales were not "closed" and open to members of the public such as yourself.
I fully recognise the fact that most members of the public will continue to shy away from auctions because of the myths perpetuated (mainly by motor traders) that auctions are not a safe place to spend your pounds.
Yesterday's Scotman Headlines (The Top Gear - Range Rovers Stockpiled on a Oxfordshire Airfield) makes chilling reading with the Pendragon Group shedding 2500 jobs /discounting Rangies by £15k......and still heading for a £30m loss.
One Motor Trade Contact of my acquaintance , stated "Even the Liars are quiet"

In summary

The days of the Motor Dealers defending their £4k margin on premium second hand stock have disappeared for the moment and the independant traders are not buying the non franchise/other stock. This is causing the standard Dealership business model to fail with cash flow grinding to a halt.
No Cash Flow is obviously not sustainable for any business so Joe Public can pick up a bargain at the local dealership at Trade Prices.

So the private seller (with the Rimming Fetish )....who wants to sell his 2005 Black Lotus Exige (Reg X7 L*A)with nominal mileage.... is hardly likely to draw anything more than a trade bid of around (£14,475)

I get offered cars every week........usually the smokers that they cannot shift.......and last week saw me being offered a 2004 Range Rover Vogue with tiny mileage and all the toys . The vehicle is currently with a liquidator and my speculative/cheeky £12k bid is the higgest so far.

I did not really want the vehicle so looks like Gail and the Girls are getting an early Christmas Present for pulling the Horsebox

PS
My offer of posting details (and potentially bidding if you are shy!) for any Exiges that appear on BCA still stands
