Today I happened to run into an 05 Storm Titanium Red interior Lotus Elise in the Los Angeles area. It had sustained damage to the following areas:

Front Clam needed to be replaced (front lower area was damaged-unrepairable)
Driver side rear wheel bent-lower control arm damage
Rear diffusor-Damaged
minor damage on rear clam

The vehicle seemed like had been either driven hard or it was a track car if not both (balded tires). More over from the condition it seemed like it was a high mileage car in comparison to many other ones.

I was wondering if anyone had any information about the vehicle. I'm considering purchasing it and would love to find out as much about the car as i possibly could. I was wondering if perhaps the pervious owner is apart of this forum. The vehicle does carry a salvage title :wallbang: and was recently written off which means this has got to be a recent wreck.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Why would you want to buy a car if you're that worried about it? Price?

 

[RedELise818]

I'm not worried about the vehicle at all to be honest. I was just curious as to how the crash took place. :shrug: Plus, its not like its going to be the first Elise I have owned.

P.S. The price is an undisclosed amount.

Does the owner look about 15 and wears glasses?

If you ran into it, wouldn't you know how it happened ?? rotfl

Hey Einstein!!!

I ran into the vehicle at a local auction. I was at the location for a different purposes when I ran into the Elise. As of right now Im not sure about the price. Have a ball park figure of what I will be paying for it though.

Once purchased I will post pic's

PS I dont think it will be anything near the prices of the salvage Elises I have seen in the market going for around 17-20k DAMAGED.

 

[FLuXeXigeS]

so itll be cheaper or more expensive than 17-20k?

 

[adamjayp]

I'm hoping for more... Keep those used prices high! Oh, wait... Not, less! Drop the used values so I can buy one too! Just kidding. I hope it works out, lets see some pics up in here.

 

[RedELise818]

Its going to be cheaper than 17k. I look forward to getting back into an Elise. Even though the color isn't my favorite I dont mind.

Looking on Ebay a salvage one right now has a bid of 25k on it. People must be crazy. I was looking over some of the posts in here and Clean title Elises are going for around 30k. Furthermore, online they have/had wrecked ones listed over 20k. These people are outrageous!! I dont know who would pay over 20k for a wrecked elise and dump another 6 to put it back togather.

PS I will post pic's of the vehicle as soon as I head out to the location once more = )
