Hate to let it go. My Hummer lease was up and I need to get something that I can drive year round. I thought about getting a beater to drive in the winter, but I want something reliable.

$23,500 OBO 05 Ardent Red Elise-Sold
I am selling/trading in my 05 Ardent Red Elise. 35,219 miles. Heat/Air doesnt work and the rear tires are worn. I am purchasing another vehicle and can't afford 2 payments. I can email pictures from when I purchased it last June( purchased with 30,000 miles on it.)

melanie0302,
I hate to discuss on your "for sale" thread however; why not just trade it in for the car you're looking at? I like to believe you can get that for trade-in. Good luck with your sale, you should have NO problems selling at that price.

Actually I was going to trade it in. The first place told me they would give me $17,000. They hadn't seen it. The next place told me $21,300 without seeing it. There is no way I would let it go for that.

If you trade it it you'll be exempt from paying sales tax on the amount given for the trade. 6% of $21,300 is $1278, which is basically getting $22,578 for the car. I'd let them see your car and get more than they've offered unseen.
Good luck.
Not in MI. You pay sales tax on the entire purchase price regardless of trade.If you trade it it you'll be exempt from paying sales tax on the amount given for the trade. 6% of $21,300 is $1278, which is basically getting $22,578 for the car.

Wow, finally there's a state with a tax law item worse than Connecticut.
When my dad's estate was finalzed last year, one of his cars went to a relative without paying MI tax, so I guess I'm thinking of an exemption for a title transfer.
No sales tax for cars given to family members. I think that's about the only loophole.

I can email pictures if anyone is interested. My files are too big so I can't upload them.

Buy a used Civic/Accord or heck even a Miata (for year round beater sports car fun) and keep the Elise. You could buy a decent reliable winter beater for the money that you're going to lose selling the Elise at that price anyway.

Actually I bought another car. Thats why I need to sell the Elise. I ended up with a VW Jetta TDI.
I have two TDI Jettas. We have very similar tastes!

The TDI is a great car. I will miss the Lotus but the TDI is much more practical for a daily driver in Michigan.
