Hello all, another new guy here. I am beginning my search for my Lotus Elise. At this point, i have a pretty open mind on what i would like. I am prepared to spend between 35-45k....i am considering new though which according to the website comes in around 53k. I have a few basic questions.
If i buy used, what model years are preferable if any? Is the supercharged version worth the extra money and if so would it make sense to buy a higher milage/older model to afford one? If i buy new i would be stretching my budget slightly...is this worth it? Are new elises going for msrp these days or can deals be had? I am also completely lost on which colors i like as i have only seen a few due to the limited quantity readily available in the area(MA). Any feedback would be greatly apreciated. Thanks all.
