Ok, kinda fed up with time wasters now, so how about someone who genuinely has cash to spend gives me a call and i’ll accept �19995.00 for a quick sale? tel 07771 967842
well hey were just itching for them over here in NZ but i havnt yet got my plans sorted out… i figured out that there is one s2 in NZ and thats it for the exige ! so there is a huge market. i figure i will be ready to be buying some mid next year
if i had the money here right now id be on the next plane to come get it trust me…
Well, we already have one!.
But let me tell you that if I hadn’t, I would buy yours. Really nice example.
I guess you should advertise it in other Lotus sites as well, SELOC, NYLOC, BBS, S_E, Pistonheads, VX220, MG, or the Noble or Caterham groups… are there others?
It’s already on Pistonheads but i’ll take a look at the other sites, thanks.
I still can�t believe I�m having difficulty selling it; in fact I still haven�t really come to terms with actually selling it! It�s such a great car it seems really odd to be getting rid of it for another��.
I think it’s because it’s just too rare to have made a following.
And them many of the current crop of Lotus drivers are these guys looking to “be seen”, I’m sorry but I find no other description. Threfore, for these, only an open top model would make sense.
It seems that the only ones that don’t care of showing our long waving curls are us (or probably are sooo ugly that we don’t want to be seen)
OTOH, I believe that we just couldn’t care less.
This may be a factor while selling the S1 Exige, apart from the fact that the way in/out is a bit more difficult than the S2.
I would wait if you could, it can take a while but the perfect client will come knocking at your door.
I can imagine some months down the road one guy posting here to buy and looking but not being able to get a fine example.
We are part of a minority, and as minority, we have to realize that most people don’t think like us.
Most people wouldn’t put up with no AC, no removable roof, noise, hard seats, hard suspension (dare I say power steering and ABS), small access door… even Jeremy Clarkson never even took note of this model, not reviewed it as far as I know, but he did the S2, and liked it! (I’m slightly offended by this slight oversight)
Anyway, if you can wait, wait, but offer it to the persons that would be lkikely to buy one: the ones that have seen one flying past at the tracks.
… even Jeremy Clarkson never even took note of this model, not reviewed it as far as I know, but he did the S2, and liked it! (I’m slightly offended by this slight oversight)
He didn’t, but Tiff Needle did, while still in Top Gear. I have the vid somewhere in here…
