Hi all! I am new to this forum, but have been on the Esprit forums for years. I have spent the last 3 years totally rebuilding a wrecked Esprit which has been a ton of work, but really rewarding as well. Either way I am now looking at getting a used Elise from a (non Lotus) dealer. The car is beautiful with low millage and is the color and has the options that I want. The ONLY problem is the CarFax has the car listed as having been in a front end accident. The car was fixed and then driven around for several more years and was then picked up by this dealer. My question is should I be concerned about the Elise having been in a front end accident? I know Lotus says that the front crash frame can just be removed and a new one bonded in place, but are there going to be problems down the road? The car looks like it was fixed properly, but who can ever be sure. I am really hesitant because of the accident report, but this car is right in my price range and its exactly what I want!
