I think this wins for the "best" asking price...

At least they could have a photo of the real car or not say it's a 2005.

Wow... someone's got to have some serious 'nads to be asking $20K over MSRP. Sadly I think they'll sell it. This old axiom comes to mind: There's an ass for every seat...

Guys, this is even worse. The original price is 50 bucks and it's selling for HOW MUCH? For a bloody game?

They appear to be a Lotus dealer as they have a new 2004 Esprit for sale as well. The listed Fax 928-447-6430 is in AZ.

It's a pity then, if they really are a Lotus dealer, that they're showing pictures of a 111s instead of the Fed Elise...

Why is that sad? It just means your car is worth more if/when you go to sell it.

It is only approporiate, is it not? Although it is down to 100 from 1000!!! I wonder if somebody was screwing around and pulled their bid.

Problem with this photo too...

They appear to be a Lotus dealer as they have a new 2004 Esprit for sale as well. They are located in LA.

http://go2autosales.com/cars-exotic/cars-exotic.html

The photo of the Esprit was taken outside Scottsdale Lotus - it is one of the cars they currently have for sale there:

Likewise these photos from Go2's site were taken in Scottsdale too:

I now leave the floor open to the conspiracy theorists...

 

[perryeyges]

I wonder if this isn't the starlight black car that I saw in La Jolla.
The sales guy told me that the car was sold. Oh, to be a high roller.

Is it possible that this dealership is selling it through one of its subsidiaries to cover the inflated price? Did you notice that in the "go2auto" picts they cropped out the "Scottsdale Lotus" from the pictures?

From Scottsdale Lotus -

From go2auto (The seller with the overpriced Elise) -

Boy I'd sure have a few questions for them if I had a deposit there...

 

[sentry65]

I have a deposit down at scottsdale lotus

how does this change anything?

are they going to gangrape me on the price or something? they told me i'm number 81, with a 2 year or so wait

Here's what they're selling in Kentucky - the bidding is furious!

It has the aftermarked GTS engine with the remaped ECU right?

 

[cerven]

It's a real sleeper - how'd you guess? LOL

Is that spy photo of the new Pontiac?

That car is sooo kewl. I bit that really shaves off the weight from the doors.


As for the Scottsdale Lotus dealer, that ad is using their pictures but it's not really them.

The corrugated sides are just like the dimples under the new Lexus - better aerodynamics in wind tunnel testing - IT BREAKS WIND better this way LOL
