Assistance in NYC area - LotusTalk

mhouston23 · 09-19-2008, 07:15 PM

I live in TN and I'm looking at a used 05 Elise in New York and was wondering if anyone local there could give it a once over for me in person.

Here's a link to the auction:

eBay Motors: Lotus : Elise (item 190252492472 end time Sep-21-08 11:00:00 PDT)

Any input/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Do you have any idea where exactly this car is in NY? How do you know it is NYC? Did I miss this in the listing?

I've been in contact with the seller and received some more information. I'll find out exactly where he's located and post it as soon as he responds...

I'm going to be in the city on Wednesday...I can take a look at it for you. I'm a detailer[/i] so you know I'll give it a thorough once-over. Plus, I've driven many Lotus Elises so I know how a nicely kept one feels like. Please let me know. Mike, let's go together!!

Well, my max bid was going to be 30K which looks like it's below the asking price, so it may be a moot point.

asking price is not selling price...

I think he is at $31,000 right now, which makes you guys very close together on what sounds like a very clean car at a VERY FAIR PRICE.

I wouldn't be so quick to let the auction on E-Bay play out, as it could easily go for more.

Best of luck,

ANDY
