Car is in excellent mechanical condition. It was rear ended and pushed into the car in front of it damaging both the front and rear clams. No frame damage. Would make a great track car as is or a road car if you want to have the body work done.
59,000 Miles
Sport and Touring pack
AC blows cold but is missing the blower knob.
Car comes with a Utah Rebuilt/Restored title. It was marked as a salvage title previously.
Hardman Car Company Utah Dealer #5216
I bought this but had to run it through the dealership to get the Rebuilt Title otherwise if I re-titled it personally I would have had to pay the sales tax.
If you'd pay my diesel bill for my truck I could deliver as far East as Kansas City (leaving May 21st) or as far West as San Francisco (early June).

Please email instead of PM's for more info.

Why did it have a rebuilt title before?

 

[Ryno]

It was a salvage title because of this accident.
I have a few additional photos I can post tomorrow showing some minor repairs I made myself. The rear panel, under tray heat shield and muffler were bent. The front clam also separated at the seam which I epoxied back together.

I had thoughts of auto crossing this and just wanted to make it look semi respectable. I took it to one autocross and was able to finish less than a second back from top pax with the stock shocks and sway bar.
If the SCCA hadn't stripped all the competition from SS I'd probably have kept this.

Lets get this strait????? Was a Salvage title - no finance. Now a rebuilt title - can finance maybe. How did you do this? And what does a carfax show? Whom inspected the tub/frame/car to make it a salvage and do you have a copy of this report? What rebuilt work was performed?

Not being a douche, this is a fair price for somebody looking for a track car to build. Just a lot of variables that need to be answered.

I'd have thought interesting photos to a potential buyer would be of the front crash structure (looking through the grill at both corners).
The inside of the rear clam would also be useful to understand what sort of repairs are required there.

A state safety inspection was all that was needed to get the rebuilt title. I can forward a copy of the carfax to anyone interested. It is currently showing the salvage title. I personally checked all the suspension pickup points before buying the car and also checked the alignment and it was spot on, to the point I auto crossed it just the way it was and is. As far as what rebuild work was done take a look at the before and after photos.

I don't know if the inspector was accurate or not but he told me based on the minimal damage there was a process I could have gone through to get a regular title reissued. I'm not sure if it was accurate and didn't even look into it as it would always show it was salvage at one point anyway.

He also told me that California would not allow a vehicle that had been a previous salvage title to be registered. Not sure if this is accurate but something you may need to look into if your from Cali.

I'll try getting a shot of the front crash structure but I can tell you there is no visible damage.

Great selection of photos - they pretty much confirm that the crash structure will be undamaged

My Elise was originally issued a "rebuilt" (aka salvage) title in CA. It was transferred to WA a few years later, so I would assume it was registered during this time.

2 clams.

 

[Ryno]

I hot glued them to hold things in place while doing the fiberglass inside the trunk and waiting for the adhesive to cure on the front, they popped right off after.


It's pretty strait now, if I end up keeping the car I have been debating between doing the bondo work and repainting the rear on it or just having it vinyl wrapped the way it is.

Pictures of front crash structure with front grill removed. I have the two side grills but they are missing the mounting clips. There is nothing wrong with the mounting point for the blinker I just can't find a used one and they are on back order at the dealer.

Can someone else comment on this? Would this car not be able to be driven in California with a rebuilt title?

It's pretty bad the guy trying to sell the car is the one starting a rumor that it can't be registered in California. I was told by another potential buyer that it wasn't an issue however I'd still want to see you get independent verification.
