I had the calipers painted by Sticker City which also did my clear bra installation (more coverage than the OEM Starshield). I don't believe that the factory offered painted calipers as an option. The in-service date on the car is 5/24/06.

The car is up on cars.com now. Here is a link:

cars.com: 2006 Lotus Exige

You can find a free CarFax on the ad.

Cheers!!

Sorry. Maybe I misunderstood your question and/or don't understand when the warrany actually starts. The car comes with a standard 3-year factory warranty which I *thought* starts with the in-service date (i.e. warrany ends May 24 2009). I could be wrong

Bumpity bump.

I also have the car listed on Ebay now with a low reserve:

eBay Motors: Lotus : Exige (item 150254351174 end time Jun-08-08 21:54:28 PDT)

Gotta move it to make room in the garage for a new toy

I think this car has shown back up on eBay, but as a scam.

Thats clearly a scam. Or at least a banable offense for the image with an offer for a sale outside ebay. Who in their right mind thinks someone will sell this car for 10grand but doesn't trust ebay.. They are trying to save money by cutting ebay out but don't mind taking a 30k loss on the car...

What do you mean by just 'right?'

I sold my 06 Exige with an Elise cover that fit quite snuggly but nicely over the Exige. The wing made no discernable difference in the fit of the cover.

Stands to reason an Exige cover would easily go over an Elise.

Very interesting. I just reported it to Ebay customer support. Thanks for the tip. We'll see how long the auction stays up.

They are not only using the photos from my already sold Exige but they are also using my VIN. Difficult to absolve them of anything but fraud.

I looked up their website. Originally, I didn't believe that there was a Romulus, Michigan but evidently there is (no offense to anyone here from Romulus, on Earth or otherwise ). It looks like Williams Automotive is a VW salvage yard:

Used Vw parts, Used Volkswagen Parts, volkswagen jetta, - Williams Automotive Inc..

The Internet sure can be a scary place.
