Hello Guy's
First off, I am already a Lotus owner with a 2005 Elise. I have been watching Esprits for a few months now an have been thinking about buying one.
The car in question is a 01 with 46K miles, It is at a used car dealer, he has some service records which begin at the 21K mile mark in 2002 and end at the 43K mile mark in 2008, going thru the service records during that short period of time show 11.5 thousand dollars in repairs from a Lotus/Aston Martin dealership, all I can say is "holy sheet".
There are no other records on the car, the price seems fair but WOW, are they that maint heavy to own and operate ? I believe that this is a one owner car, I did call the dealership that did the work and they were less than friendly on the phone even when I told the guy I was a current Lotus owner.
He did say that the PO maintained the car to a high degree, but could not explain why there were no service records from 0 miles to the first ones I was given at 21K miles, makes me say hmmmmm.
So your thoughts on this are ?
