2005 Chrome Orange Elise on the Way - LotusTalk

Puzi12 · 07-25-2009, 03:26 PM

I purchased a 2005 Chrome Orange Elise from California a few days ago on EBay. It only has 1,278 miles on it and it has never been serviced. It should be here by next weekend (I live in Orlando).

I've been checking out this site for a while and I'm just absorbing as much information as a can. I can't wait to get my car and put some of my new knowledge into practice (I'm going to do the 1,000 mile service myself since the warranty is up).

Eventually I'd also like to add the LETSLA short shifter, but know I won't be comfortable doing it myself. Does anyone know where I can take my car to have this done?

BTW- There's no way I would have felt this comfortable with my purchase if it weren't for the enormous amount of information on this site.

Best color by far!

Are you interested in installing the shifter in Cali? I know a few who have installed it in Socal

SobeLotus, sweet pics! Miami does seem a lot closer all of a sudden.

Plastique999- Thank you, but I've already made plans to have the vehicle transported at the beginning of the week.

A guy at the autozone, said you stopped by earlier today.

Hello.

Puzi12 · 08-15-2009, 09:55 PM

Yep, that was me! The DD needed a new battery. Did you take your Lotus there, too?

You get a good price or what?

Dogpatch has truly been a most valuable resource for all things Lotus. Before the Internuts hunting down cars and parts was an artform!

Welcome to the Lotus family! I almost got Chrome Orange when I was looking at getting an Elise. I'm just about a half hour from you in Titusville,Fl so maybe we can meet up sometime. Congrats!
