Anyone on here owned it?

Probably all I'll ever need in an Exige (as the V6 is too much for me at the moment!) but the 29000 miles feel a touch too high.
I'm guessing this has been a daily driver for someone ( and in that respect, well done!) but would that mileage put the price a bit high at £33k?

What would possibly be an issue at that mileage?

Cheers

I don't know the history of the car, but I heard they were willing to discount to £31k which IMO is still too much.
With the miles and not fantastic paint condition.

With the sump mods I would have thought many of those miles would have been on track, not an issue with these cars but you need to ensure it's been properly maintained.

If 29k miles is too high for a 2010 RGB, I dread to think what the market would think about my 2008 sprint with 30k miles already on it - not that it's for sale!

If the condition of the car is good and the price is right, higher mileage would't bother me at all (29k miles isn't high mileage for cars generally). As to what could be wrong with it with that mileage ... probably nothing. My car still feels as tight as the day I bought it, I am considering whether to change the shocks over in the next year or so for some adjustable ones, but it doesn't actually need to be done. Also the car will come with a warranty from the dealer, so I really wouldn't worry about anything.

Absolutely. My 2008 Exige is at 31k now, and certainly is not asking for anything. Tell a lie, a couple of services ago, it was mentioned that some exhaust heatsheilding had started to corrode, but it's small beans really.

Feels just as it did when I picked it up at 8500 miles, and is ready for another year of weekly use and trackdays in 2014.
