WTB: 2007 or 2008 Exige S

The time has finally come for me to seriously start looking at buying a 2007 Exige S (or 2008 Exige S at a great price). Willing to buy within a week or two, or wait up to 6 months. I realize they are relatively rare cars and I am really looking for the perfect car for me.

Looking for mainly:
Touring Pack
Track Pack

LSD, Starshield and minor modifications are not big factors to me. Would prefer a completely stock vehicle.

Colors in order of preference:
Chrome Orange
Storm Titanium (or other similar silver/gray colors)
Black
Ardent Red
Maybe one of the blues or white

Probably won't consider other colors unless the price is right (shoot me any offers).

Willing to pay what the car is worth (not looking to extreme lowball anyone, but won't over pay either), have been doing a lot of research on the Exige over the last year and I am now in a position to buy. Want a car in great mechanical shape and good aesthetic condition. Minor issues are alright, but obviously will affect the value that I am willing to pay.

I live in Orlando, FL and I am willing to fly/drive to pick up the vehicle anywhere in the southeast, or might look into shipping the car if located elsewhere. Will need to see and test drive the car before buying (and may take to a lotus dealer for detailed inspection).

Please pm me any offers you may have, thank you.

You may wish to reconsider the Starshield criteria, or lack thereof. Nearly everyone who thought they didn't want/wouldn't need, lived to regret it and wound up getting it anyway after some repaints of rockers and nose. The front tires literally spray grit, sand, and stones back to the rocker panels in front of the rear wheels.

Good luck with your search!

Thanks for the heads up, I will be sure to inspect the vehicle closely if it does not have starshield. Although it seems like most do have the starshield.
