Trade my Elise for your car! - LotusTalk

NOLA911 · 10-19-2009, 08:24 PM

I am about to put my lotus up for sale, but knowing that I will be replacing it with another car, want to try this.. I am open to trades- even trades, or with cash either way.

Chrome orange color- Fully loaded, all options
Factory Sport package
Factory Touring Package
Factory Stage 2 exhaust
upgraded to 2006 exige LED tail lights
20 % tint on all three windows
Wheels / rear diffuser painted black
Sector 111 cup holder
Micro Mirror,
All plastic grills changed to mesh
desnorkled / green filter
Custom chrome orange painted center console
Custom Xenon headlamps
Custom painted engine cover
Pre-wired for radar detector at mirror
Brand new optima red top
4 New tires
2 remotes

Everything works great, miles are just over 60k, the engine and transmission by toyota run like a bat out of hell. The car is absolutely wonderful in every way and is a blast to drive on the highway.

OR I know it's the cheapest on the internet to buy - 24.5k until I put it on ebay for a little more.

Sorry for the huge pictures, all I can find are those posted by another member here from a meet we had and we got caught in a drizzling rain. It has never been intentionally taken out in the rain, only caught in it sometimes, and I have never tracked it. I will post some better/more pics later.

Im really really flexible on this.. I already have 2 SUVs, but can sell one. A sporty Sedan would fit well with the stable as-is, and another toy car would be fun but not the most practical of the bunch. I really just want change... just sold my boat and bought another the next week. just traded one SUV in last weekend for a more unique one.

I have a 2004 VW R32 that I am looking to trade for an Elise.

Versatile, quick, sounds downright amazing (imagine a wookie getting anal raped by a spiked baseball bat while Chuck Norris is roundhouse kicking godzilla in the balls).

I have a few things done the the R32;
-Debadged Rear
-25 MM Rear Sway Bar (helps mitigate the initial understeer)
-VF "Dog Bone" engine mount
-Tyrol Sport Brake Stiffening kit (R32 has probably the best set or brakes to come on a production car that costs <100K. However, pedal feel was vague in the top 1/4 of pedal travel. 60-0 in 108ft!)

PM me if you are interested/want pictures.

Rthirtydos · 10-27-2009, 08:49 PM

Forgot to mention that is has 43600 on the clock and I know how to detail

FLuXeXigeS · 10-27-2009, 11:10 PM

PM sent, very interested!!!

Interesting proposition. I've never actually heard of a trade on the internet work out.

Subaru Impreza WRX STi Realiably Track Built - low mi!!

Rthirtydos · 10-29-2009, 03:52 PM

Bump for the VW which is more practical than a track ready STi.

NOLA911 · 10-29-2009, 06:08 PM

Hey, guys. Hadnt seen the thread since the weekend. I think the car is sold.

What state is the VW in?

MightyMike · 10-29-2009, 07:52 PM

I'll trade you straight up for my 07 Toyota Corolla. I'll even deliver it to you with a full tank of gas and new air freshner. Deal?

I traded my sti + cash for an elise a while ago. I had met the guy before but it was mostly an internet deal. I think it is a rare thing however.
