Lotus Exige S2 - Buying Guide

[BoostMonkey]

As above really is there one around?

I have contacted Silverstone Lotus for a test drive on Saturday and just wanted to go with a bit more knowledge than I currently do.

Many Thank,
Rob.

Any guide on the Toyota engined S2 Elise will do the job. It's near enough the same car.

The sticky one at the top of this forum is a place to start.

Your quite correct, being a man I comppletely missed what was right in front of me, pistonheads need a facepalm smiley!

Have a look at the wiki's in on www.seloc.co.uk (if you haven't already).

I purchased a similar car from them back in August. PM me if you want and I can pass on any advice.

I bought a S2 Exige from Matt a few years ago and it was very good. Enjoy and take it easy on the AO48's this time of year.

It was your car I was looking at, I was very impressed with it.
Just not sure that:
a)I'm ready to let the RS go for another 6 months, it is such an accomplished car
b)not sure if I want my next to have such loud pain, but then again in such a low down small car this maybe wise.

Aimee said it had an owner before yourself? And what kind of use did you give it.
What did you replace it with?

Hi Rob,

I owned the car for 2 years and bought it from B&C. Not sure who the previous owner was but it was in A1 condition when I bought it.

I only ever used the car on the road, had intentions of doing track days but never got around to it! I did about 10k miles in it whilst I had it with a couple of road trips around Scotland and the north.

Unfortunately I sold as we moved house, so didn't replace it with anything, but hope to get another toy in the spring.

If you want any more specific insight on the Exige drop me an email.

Good luck

Dave
