I'm putting my 2006 Exige up for sale. I've only had it ~4 months, but I've found another car(and moving soon) so i just don't have room for 3 cars.
I purchased this car back in Feb and have since put about 9k into her making it as perfect as i can + adding power... i really didn't plan to sell this quickly, but things happen.



The Good:
The car is in good shape.
As i usually do, I spent a lot of money buying little interior bits here and there making it as clean as possible. Including(but not limited to):
Complete seats out detail
New carpets
New MISC trim pieces
New headliner
New OEM windshield.
Cquartz
The paint looks very good and I will post more detailed pics later.
The car drives great.
Clutch is good
Compression is great (250,250,243,250)
No grinding gears
The shiftier feels better than most I've driven.
Brakes well
Alignment is good.
I've tackled most every little "qwerk" thats come up... Fast blinking blinker, intermittent dash etc etc.
The AC was just completely worked on by lotus Orlando.. this includes new lines($$).

Its pretty well sorted out.
New Battery
New Wiper



The Bad:
Up front, on the lowest part of the bumper the paint has about 3 cracks in it. Pic below. The cracks are under the front of the bumper opening.
The front clear-bra is scuffed up in four(?) places. Small, but its there. Looks just like a bug guts or something from 1+ foot.
Also a few areas on the front where rocks have made small holes in the clear bra. Some scratches on the bra(three circled, two not circled).
On the rear, there is a crack in a very very low section of the body right by the drivers rear tire.. its literally impossible to see on camera, so i cant take a pic. You cant even see it in person... but i'm an honest seller.
The headlights, like most lotus, get pitted easily and are just so so.
Even though I've taken care of all the rattles i can, there are still some. Its an Exige, TADT etc.. but just letting you know there are 2-3 intermittent rattles, squeaks etc. Just turn up the music, or flog it, haha.

If i was to keep the car, id eventually replace the front Bra. Its been polished so its not fading etc, but its got damage from rocks etc.
She is by no means perfect, but i've tried very hard to fix everything i can.

Pics:
















Where the clear-bra has some tears from road stuff:


The Cracks under the front bumper. You cannot see them in person unless you're on your back laying down, so i didn't think a whole respray was necessary. Honestly, a new Bra will probably hide most of this anyway.:


Some updated pics after Cquartz:

 

Great car, and well represented. These Cars are a blast to drive and easy to own/maintain. Even with all the rattles.
GLWS

 

Added engine pics.

 

I thought this was my car but I didn't have the touring package. Miss my Polar Blue Exige! Good luck.

 

Updated some pics after Cquartz.

 

Here is a video i took so you can get an idea of the sound / power etc:

 

Who did the tuning? What kind of power did it make?

 

Sector 111 did.
265 Crank.

 

Updated some of the descriptions(The good / bad) to be more specific.

Also i added a new Battery, cleaned terminals and new wiper this week.

Sold.

 

congrats to the new owner! 265 chp is more than enough for this lightweight toy, must be a blast to drive. What's next OP?

 

Thank you!
Good question! I might just stick with the M3 for now until i can find the right 991.2 or perhaps Evora 400. Going forward i think id rather have one car than two splitting duties.
