You can look for body damage, but anything mechanical is still under warranty.
You'd think so, but maybe not.

In 2500, a lot of standing starts and overrevs can be done...and warranty claims on low mileage cars being denied are not unknown based on these showing up on ECU dumps. Especially if those engine ticks and codes start showing up.

This one had its ECU reflashed per a recall....that does not mean the original data isn't in Lotus' database, in fact if an ECU dump was done at 1K with the original flash, all data up to that point is on file in Hethel.

This car is probably a great buy, though.
