Wow you guys are great, thanks for the quick responses! Been searching for a couple months now and looking for really clean low mileage known quantity stock car for the weekends, not planning on tracking or anything. That's good to know about the dealer for the PPI, and would sure appreciate any feedback if you know this car or the previous owner, or if anyone has a chance for a once over that would be awesome.
It's a blue (not sure if laser or magnetic) 05 with about 8.5k miles on it, appears to have the touring package, its at autonationnissan104 (website link below, please don't steal it!

) From the carfax it appears its been with the same owner for almost its entire life, about 8 years. I'm waiting for the dealer to clean it up and send me some updated pics and any maintenance history and condition they can gather, they have no info so far in this regard. One odd thing the salesman told me today is the rear window is busted out and they are ordering a new one, I'm hoping it wasn't broken into....how does the rear window get messed up anyways!?
Here's the web page link:
Used 2005 Lotus Elise (Blue Car) | Serving Denver, Westminster & Federal Heights Colorado | AutoNation Nissan 104th
ps. Amazingly enough I see that Denver lotus dealer just listed a supercharged 2006 titanium grey elise!
thanks, Jeff
