S1 for sale .....gulp

I don’t believe for one second this car has sold

The silver one that was advertised on pistonheads at £35k before Christmas was on for 6 weeks without a sale until the advert expired, it was a 2 owner car, standard, 18,000 mls with the right options, I bought it when it was re-advertised for less than £35k in January
Seeing that sold Kurt who is a member on here thought his must then be worth £40k so advertised it for that figure but it didn’t sell, obviously this guy with the green one sees that and thinks, mine has done less mls it must be worth £55k !!
Anyone can advertise for whatever figure they like but its the actual sold figure that counts, does anyone on here know what the most expensive one sold for in the last year ?

Wish I hadn’t broken so many up for spares now…id have been a millionaire :crazy:[/quote]


How many have you broken? Were they all smashed up?



Ive broken up about 6 original exiges :blush: all were damaged

Oh well. Some don’t make it.

I think £50k for an Exige S1 is possible if the punter wants it enough.

The market finds its own level…

I don’t know he really sold the car, but that’s what he told me.

I live in Switzerland and was looking for an S1 (bought one last Friday :slight_smile: ) I had a look at this car a week ago and offered him around 40’000£. Two days later he told me the car is sold. I was surprised he didn’t ask me to rise my offer, so I asked him for how much he sold it. He told me someone from England bought it for 55’000£. Maybe he lied to me, but it’s not for sale anymore here in Switzerland.

Sorry for my English, I try my best :slight_smile:

With little or no S1 Exiges on the market is it not a buyers market? Chris my S1 was £23k three years ago, is that not appreciative?

They are no bargain in Das Fatherland mit 58k km’s…

Only S1 I can find.

Unsure if a full cage and race shift gear etc is good news to a choice punter…

I know of currently 5 Exige S1 for sale on different internet sites in continental Europe.

The one on mobile.de in Germany which KR200 mentioned above:
2001, 58000km, LHD, New Aluminium, 50000 €

One on autoscout24.nl in the Netherlands:
2000, 40000km, LHD, Titanium, 50000 €

And three more in France on leboncoin.fr:
2000, 27000km, RHD, New Aluminium, 40000 €
2000, 47500km, LHD, Deep Purple, 46000 €
2001, 38000km, LHD, Titanium, 50000 €

To my surprise there are no more S1s offered in Switzerland.

I wonder how big is the impact of the car’s colour on the price. Most of the offered cars seems to be non-bright colours. As the Exige S1 becoming more and more a collectors car it is not
just a question of adding the cost of the respray in the buyers favourite colour to the price. Changing the factory delivered colour makes a car less attractive for a collector.

I wonder how long before some start coming back from Frogland, that deep purple one looks nice, pity they’ve ruined it by converting to LHD

This is why your car is not compromised hey Chris. Great purchase mate :wink:

Exciting times either way.

2 swittzerland

Yellow and grey

how easy is it to reimport from France? Is it an easy job to convert cars back to RHD?

Left hand drive cars seem to fetch more than right hand drive so I can’t see converting back to be very cost effective.

the deep purple is not a good idea

Yellow in Switzerland? Where did you find that?

Grey for 58k€

IDK for the yellow 65-70k€

65-70k€?! That’s even more than the green one!

Hang on, 111,000CHF
That’s £88,000

Come on, that’s a joke. The seller can’t be serious, it’s just crazy. I’m just happy I found mine already.

yes it’s a joke

no people buy a exige s1 for 60k€

Maybe not today but it might not be that far away and by the time most catch up excepting today’s values they will have missed the boat.
