I am due to get a company car soon, but I am considering buying an Exige as something for the weekend. What are the costs of ownership, problems. How much will they cost new, 2nd hand, any any websites with some nice pics of Exige’s.Thanks in advance for your help.

Don’t consider, do it. [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/grin.gif[/image]Problems? I’ve had none other than the odd hiccup with the ECU and that was ages ago.Biggest expense will be keeping youself in tyres and even then it isn’t much really.Cost? �20-�25k 2nd hand, add 2k plus for similar dealer cars. New? Not available new anymore. (price new was �32k)Pics? Check the owners gallery which has most colours.Let us know when you’ve bought one.

Dale you’ve come to the right place!If you want to know about owning an Exige trawl this site.There have been many similar questions to yours from others and they get the same replys. Although there is sometimes the odd mumble from somebody that’s just had something go wrong. After all, Lotus’ are not as sorted as BMWs and are generally driven quite hard.If you get one, get it on the track. Even an average driver can peddle an Exige in the same league as nearly any Ferrari or TVR (and it feels great)!Give one a go, it’s quite a special experience.Ian [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]
