Hi guys/gals

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

i wish, too many miles!

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?

jj · Post by jj » Thu Nov 09, 2006 10:23 pm

214326 .

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

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.

sorry jj but dont think the colour has helped with the yellow one.
lack of warranty doesnt help matters, but personally i love it!

jj · Post by jj » Thu Nov 09, 2006 10:43 pm

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.
