Nice summary.

The oil change interval is not 3k, it's 7.5k for normal use and 4k for severe usage.

From what I've heard, the 'fix' for the headlight 'sunburn' issue is not completely effective. Some 'burn' marks are, I think, to be expected on any used Elise.

I agree about the sticky idea, but I'm going to move it to the Cars for Sale forum first.
