Phil in a rattly old underpowered S1 ha ha :D not unless they could be retro-fitted with c/l,e/w, a/c, build quality ...
So what colour S2 Exige are you gonna get? :)
I'm voting S1 because I prefer the shape and the don't like those plastic slats on the s2 either.

This i feel chap is still due to the slating (discussion) between you and Shug re the rawness of an S1 Exige and how they are proper Exiges!

Still looking at 16-18k for a mint S1 Exige, less depreciation than yours? However you woul dhave to get Tom to maintain it!

Dave :wink:

P.S I will look after the Batmobile whilst you decide whether an S1 is for you or not!

Don't drag me into this! :lol:

I'm not the only one of that opinion - although I'm perhaps one of the more vocal about it :wink:

his conversation helped, ive always liked the s1 exige but didnt at the time think it was right for me, be it rawness or my driver ability. I think im up to it now so hence why i would like one. You also have to consider residuals, and that HONDA, once its in of course! :twisted:

Dont man - that looks all too tempting, as does a big fat finance agreement - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

4k difference between a mint W reg s1 Exige and an 04 Plate Exige - Hmmmmmmmmmmm! Where is my calculator...
