Scottish Elises

Graeme from MMC was on the blower today with a very tempting offer which goes along the lines of - New unregistered 06 Exige 190, sport pack and AC.. Basically the offer is 4K off the list price, means 30K for a brand new Exige..

What's everyones thoughts on that, would it be worth buying or are you still better off buying a used car??

Cheers

I'd say thats a good deal. Though bear in mind you'll probably lose £6k on that in the first year.

Will still cost you £10K to run it for the first 2 years and you never know when they will bring out a new elise / exige meaning that the value drops off even more.

There is an Exige S with 2.8K on it on piston heads for £32k, which means you can get it for £31K, Supper charger for a grand, not a difficult question for me.

Except she says I have to buy half a house and am not allowed to waste money on silly cars, I like flats anyway.

there will no doubt be a few Se'ers weeping when they read this!

does seem like a good deal, although i will never buy new again, unless of course i win the lottery! You should get a good finance deal though which might make it all work for you?!

I currently drive an E46 M3, so only £10k in two years sounds good to me!!

I'd still buy used unless you're going to keep it forever and being first owner means something to you

Doesn't really mean anything to me to be honest - other than you have all the little annoying running in problems to solve for someone else when you sell it!!..

This is something that i was thinking about - the S's seem to be getting cheaper all the time, disproportionately so when compared with the standard Exige?!?!

Ach fcuk it, who knows what to do....

Boyner,
If your happy with the deal go for it. Unfortunately you need to p/x the BM otherwise buy 2nd hand.

Gareth,

Having the BMW it is a bit of a pain especially how i have had two people who say they want the car but when it's time to put their money where their mouth is they go all scared!!!

Plus i still don't know if i am even going to be in this country much longer!! Hopefully i should know by the end of the week what the craik is re the job abroad!!

Cheers

I'd definitely go for the Exige S. I prefer new or newish cars if possible, but for that price I couldn't resist the supercharger!

Yup, I was on the same boat a few months ago.
What you looking for the BM anyway? PM me if you want an I'll ask around

Stick some info on the M3 in the Classifieds - there's a guy at my work been talking about one. and he just needs some gentle persuasion to take the plunge...

yeah, I know 2 colleagues that have been talking about taking the plunge too Will pass on details if you post up
