Sad day for me,my Esprit is for sale!!! - LotusTalk

Well,my Esprit is currently on the internet for sale!The construction industry has obviously taken a big hit

and I have a mortgage and a kid that come first.Luckily for me I still have work,just not as much.Hopefully a few years from now if things stabilize,I can get another.So if you know anyone interrested in a well sorted 1990SE with a ton of extras,let them know.Thanks,Tim

Sorry to hear it man. Sales is all about presentation, post some pix.

I have it listed in the for sale section on this website with limited info(will get to it soon).But it is listed on Craigslist and another auction style site,by law I cannot mention the name....

Why can't you mention the name of the site? Is that a craigslist rule?

socal450 · 04-19-2009, 09:06 PM

No,I did mention Craigslist,its the other site that has that rule,its actually considered fraud,I believe.Since its auction style,they believe(if you post info on a friendship site like this),that you will have "friends" bidding on the item intentionally just to bump up the bid amount.Kinda makes sense,im sure they have dealt with that in the past.

i saw it on "that other site" this morning!

im truly sorry man! thats a shame.... hopefully it goes to a really good home!
try to sell it to someone who may someday want to sell it back to you hehe! I had an old 1964 impala as my first car when i was 16 and sold it halfway through a frame off restoration... sold it locally and am thinking of re-buying it once my lotus is all done...

anyways, keep us posted!

I saw it on the other site - wish my 90 SE looked that good.

Any chance you'd be interested in turning loose just the newer wheelset?

Thanks for the compliment,but I must sell it the way it is!
