Resale value of Exige S in 2010

How much do you think a 2007 Exige S will go for in 2010? I figure in low 30's. Is that fair? Could it drop to high 20's?

Try asking Brandon with Beverly Hills Lotus. They have a closed end leasing program and he could tell you what the residual of a 2007 Exige S would be.

I assume this guy is saving some money for a future purchase... good for you! Save like it will be $40, and if it is less you can have some driving instruction and track days. Go for it!

My apologies go out to the P2L.

You guys should really stop teasing the OP and give him some realistic numbers.

By 2010, the car should be worth $167,000.

That should clear things up.

In that case, if I lease one, would Lotus send me monthly payments?

yes, but you would have to send the car and the payments back after 2 years

in 2010 there will only be 100 cars left and you won't be able to give them away because insurance for anyone under 30 will be $25K per year
