Whitey - here's the deal man, I have lived litterally two minutes from a Lotus dealer, walking their lot almost every Sunday, counting cars, test driving other used Elise's, scouring Ebay and Cars.com, and reading this site in depth...been looking for over 4 years...

This is what worked for me:

1.) Know what you want.
2.) Know the price points.
3.) Understand the potential problems (as best as you can).
4.) Know what you are willing to pay.
5.) Go for it when you find it - and do not look back.

The drive home yesterday alone was worth the wait, anxiety and anticipation.
With patience and (right) attitude like yours, good things come your way. And your Elise is proof.

Congrats and enjoy your ride!
