Kris H Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I reckon that if you are prepared to wait you will get an absolute bargain with residuals as they are at the moment, provided you're not wanting a 135r. Can't help about S1 prices but if that one is up for £17k, I'd expect to see others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott_Mac Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Warren... try Nick Whale, they seem to offer fair money for part ex S1's and they have a couple of v.nice S2's in at the moment..... S2 190 for £30k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebedee79 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Second NW - speak to John Willis, very fair. I thought the nearly new S2 111s in Ardent in the showroom looked the dogs with Momo steering wheel. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 well seeing as my baby is going there tomorrow for the front end paint job... i'll have a little look around... ( must not take any form of credit with me)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_Mac Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 That might be adviseable. They have a nice Laser Blue Exige to start with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris H Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I'd recommend NW as well since I don't feel that they try to bullshit you like some dealers will. I do think that if you're going to buy an S2 used, now is a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 Guys.... i have just seen an S2 laser blue on ebay.. item number 2478707618... What do you think?????? (would have posted the link but for some strange reason my pc does not want to cut and paste!!! it must know the sun is out!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebedee79 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Snowman Someone must know the history of this car if item is located in Dudley? ebay Seems good vfm, other 2001 ST's seems to be approx 17 - 18K IIRC. Go and inspect first. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris H Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Looks good to me - reasonably high mileage for the age and maybe due a C service in the not too distant future but with a ptp 140 as well I think that's pretty good. Worth seeing if you can find anything about the history and getting a proper inspection done, but at that price it looks a bargain to me - three days left on the auction though so could well go up by a grand or two.

gramps Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 He got robbed if he paid £4k for ptp 140!! i paid lots less for 165 but hey, BOTHERED!!! Good buy but stick with the s1 and get it modded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 Guys looking for help.. the S2 in question (ebay) has the reg of RK51KUH I have done the rac check but wondered if there was anyone out there who knew any thing else about the car. It's based in dudley, right by me somewhere!!! but i have never seen it. I have sent the guy an email asking to view the car but no reply...!!!

Zebedee79 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 May be worth posting reg. on some of the other boards as well - there can't be that many cars that have had the PTP conversion. I managed to trace the owner of my S1 prior to purchasing at a main dealer through exiges.com So far no bids so he should be grateful that you are interested in viewing it!
