Valenti Lotus is a small dealer in CT operating in the shadow of HRM. A couple of years ago they had almost 20 cars in stock, now their website is down to 5.

2 of them are '05s and are now out of warranty. A friend of mine sent me these links:

The silver one was their demo and has a Stage II exhaust.

Are they out of their minds? How long do you think these will sit there on MSO? These guys were still aggressively pricing over sticker in the summer of '05 when cars were finally plentiful, and they had over 15 in stock. Based on their pricing, the owner is still a greedy guy. Who will pay that without a warranty? And my bet is that the data dump on the demo will look pretty bad.
