No problems here

I have an '05 Elise and have no issues with the alternator, or anything electrical for that matter.

I'd ask the seller exactly what conditions make him suspect the alternator? It could be as simple as a loose belt.

Alternator problems have not been a major issue that I've noticed. Some cars with aftermarket superchargers experienced alternator issues, but I think that was more related to wire strain than the the alternator itself.

Do a search in the Electrical section for "alternator" and a lot of posts come up.

Sounds a little fishy that a guy would dump an Elise just for a (maybe) alternator issue.

regards,
Wayne
