Mike,

Yes I remember. I bought a Lazer Blue Exige S last Ocotber. I just sold it for an orange 2011 BMW 1M.

Good Luck with your search.

How reliable has the car been? What can I expect to pay in annual maintenance?

thanks

I have had my V12V for a year and a half and put about 7000miles on it. Yearly service $1500-$2000. Aside from the recalls, I did have one service bulletin performed on the car for a strange noise coming from the rear suspension. They took apart, re-lubed, and assembled the rear drive shafts.

Just do it - you will NOT regret it.

Just think of it as buying one of the greatest drivers cars ever made.

The Sheriff has some good advice. The Velocity PowerPack (headers, 200 cell cats, air filters and tune) will add enough power to the 4.7 liter Vantage to keep up.
I had mine at Laguna Seca Monday, passing all sorts of McLarens and Astons.
It is a bit too loud for me, so I had the tune set to permanently close the exhaust, but you can have yours permanently open upon request.
