[SOLD] 2005 Lotus Elise Lotus Racing Green/Red Leather - LotusTalk

brgelise · 01-17-2013, 11:49 AM

After another year of perfect running, I am thinking it is time to sell my baby. It now has 30K miles,. All it needed last summer was a new thermostat. I sold the base wheels so it now has Rotas and LSS (anodized) wheels. Asking price is 29K and you may ask Waldir at Intermeccanica about the near perfect condition car is in as well as how well balanced the setup is! For right sale price I also have rear dB4000 rotors and front and rear pads available. Stereo is optional depending on your need. Setup for quick disconnect at track.
These are current service notes thru sleepy time this November.

My reason vehicle is For Sale is 2 fold.
One: The President has thoroughly ****ed up the economy! The man spends money like a crack addict!
Two: I want to prep my Evora for track and "see 1 above" means I can no longer do both!!

My asking price is 29K On the one hand, its a track car. On the other hand , its better maintained than most cars out there. It has NO accident history. Considering the number of 2-3 owner cars out there, each with its own "shady" history, this is a one owner, I know everything there is to know car. I'm not going to give it away, but for an interested person in a turn key car, this will work for you!!

BTW, softtop is, of course included with cover. And yes there is a basic cover for off season garage storage. Buy some tires and you've got everything you need for a dozen track day season!

brgelise · 02-01-2013, 10:41 AM

Was just told in my area another 05 with more miles and in no where near same condition sold for 30k+. I was just advised to list mine for 34K by an EXTREMELY knowledgeable source. Stereo upgrade alone is worth a grand and there are $600+ in brake parts available. Most cars that list for 30K are for the car, take that stuff off and I list for $28.4K to put things in perspective. If you are in new England area I'm an easy visit and I have access to some of the best service folks in Lotus!

DCNSX · 02-10-2013, 06:54 PM

Still for sale? Does it have the OEM wheels as shown in track photos? Email me at Howard.stanton@suntrust.com.

As I do not check lotus talk often

litew8 · 02-15-2013, 08:15 AM

I'm not-so-secretly hoping this car sticks around for a little while, I have a WRX to unload before I can buy an Elise. This one would be perfect. I'm a North East guy too, Northern NJ...

Curious question - do you have any pictures of the rear of the car? Is the Larini SE sticking out through Euro Grills, or did you remove them all together?

ZeRoSL · 02-28-2013, 05:22 AM

Is this road legal?

LotusCC · 02-28-2013, 05:32 AM

Yes, it is.
