Default Trade Exige S240 for white 996 GT3?

Anybody want to trade their white GT3 for my 2008 Lotus Exige S240. 3500 miles, no track, no mods. Includes soft top. Much cheaper to track if you're so inclined. Blue book values are virtually identical.

Nice Lotus but I don't see ANYBODY wanting to move from a 6GT3 to a Lotus. That's not a lateral move. They are a hoot to drive but definitely different.

There are several guys here on the GT3 board that currently have a Lotus or have had one.

Gee thanks for the insight LVDell. Next time tell us what you really think, don't sugar coat it. I guess with 16,000 + post you must be THE authority on everything Porsche. Maybe you should call NADA to let them know they're idiots too.

1st post is to post on a GT3 forum to trade for a Lotus? Did you want me to lie to you? What is it with people not wanting to hear the truth? Grow some thicker skin. Geez, lighten up will ya.

ps. maybe you misinterpreted my post then. I wasn't comparing values ($)

I LOVE the first timers talking smack. Damn keyboard warriors.

Don't get me wrong, I love the lotus and have raced them. Fun little things, but no wet sump motor, I can't tell you how many people I know that have blown them. One again last weekend. Damn cheap to run though.

Fastpapaw,

Take Dell with a grain of salt, he's a ***** ... Oh boy, I meant to send you this as a pm.

Hopefully my post count is adequate to post on dell's gt3 forum, since I only own a 930. Maybe we could compare bank accounts?

Regards, Dave

Dell, remember the thick skin comment.

Dave, my skin is thick so no worries. But really, resorting to name calling? Real mature Dave, real mature.

Now go write on the chalkboard 100 times "I will never come to Dell's GT3 forum and flex internet muscles I don't have"

Car does have wet sump motor, you meant dry sump.

Dell wasn't being rude, dismissive or anything like that (when he is, you'll know).

I have no doubt the bluebook values for an '08 Exige S and an '04/05 GT3 are the same. And, the Exige is a beautiful car, the S240 even more so, but we're all track junkies and the GT3 is still considerably quicker around a track so it would be a tough sell. That's all. No insult or condescension intended, just the facts.

Good times, I love this forum.

Mike, nice looking car. Sell it outright and buy the GT3 you want!
