Is that not quite dear?
Braidwood have got an 05 Plate Exige for the same money.

Either that or the Exige is too cheap.

That Exige is obviously a bargain, it's got the highly desirable power assisted steering and colour-coded bumpers :roll: The "sports seats" look suspiciously like the standard ones though...

In todays climate £15K would be more realistic.

think youir bout right Tut, maybe even a bit less if he's desperate and knowing the car, think would be a decent buy at that.

think its a case of.....he's paid too much when he got it from me and is trying to recoup some of the cost

missing my Lotus too. Sold it back in April 2008 after owning for 1 year and 1 day. I look at autotrader, lotuscars, pistonheads every day !!! So many good deals at the moment. Going to try and hold off for a bit as i have a wee one on the way and the economic climate is all over the place at the moment.

I'll save anyone else the hassle by telling them not to bother going to look at this car. I viewed it in mid Oct when it was 18995. I CBA posting up all the things wrong with it, but believe me, it's a lot ! I know another SE'er has also looked at it and quickly walked away.

Thanks for posting that info :D I talked to Braidwood too, didnt go as far as viewing it however. Its been up for sale for a very long time and got them down to 17k just with emails but 37,000 track miles put me off it.
