Hi guys/gals :lol:

Ed has pointed me in the direction of this forum. On the lookout for a nice black exige s2 touring shortly to replace my RX8. Would be pleased to meet you all sometime soon at a local meet in my Exige when I hopefully find one!

Cheers,

Waz

Hi Ed,

would have loved Eds car but one with less miles :( Would have been perfect as he is local to me! Out of interest Ed, does yours have the 2006 facelift extras? If he was chucking his car away at a low price I would have considered!

Ed, how many miles does your car have on it?

214326 .

so, about a few thousand less than mine.... :lol:

Seriously though, welcome along waz. I wouldnt discount a car on miles without drving it - my car feels better now at 23k than it did at 14. And ed`s is definately priced well.

Anyway, have fun hunting.

Thanks for the welcome guys, really friendly bunch. Noticed a Yellow one which has been around for sale for ages, it based in London:

I remember I initially enquired about it two months ago! You would expect it to sell at that price ages ago :S

Aye, that's why I was asking what Ed's mileage was. Unless it was ridiculously high, I wouldn't let mileage stop me buying a car, as long as it had been serviced and looked after well.

ive got 19,300 on mine, torque curve has spread out nicely compared to when it was new. :D
sorry jj but dont think the colour has helped with the yellow one.
lack of warranty doesnt help matters, but personally i love it! 8)

I reckoned it was maybe a combo of the colour (not everyone loves yellow like I do) and the fact there are pics of it with the roof off - kind of gives the impression its been "messed with". Its weird, some seem to shift well quick regardless of spec /colour and some dont.
