Looking for a S2 Elise, would prefer local to the North East near Pittsburgh but obviously willing to travel for the right car. Don't necessarily care about mileage. My only stipulation is that the car cannot be black. I will never own another black car again as they are impossible to keep clean in the terrible Pittsburgh weather :)

I would prefer a car with a hard top if possible as well but it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

Working on selling my 2016 MK7 Golf R with an APR Stage 1 tune to cash flow the Lotus. Wanted to throw that out there in case someone wanted to do a trade with cash on top on my end. If not, obviously that's fine.

PM me with any leads, I will keep an eye on the classifieds here as well.

Hey, I’ve got a 2005 Elise in Ardent Red with ~46K miles, clean CA title, and the Touring Package. Brand new tires and recently serviced. No hardtop on mine (soft top only) but another member on the thread has a hardtop for sale.

I’m based in Irvine, CA, so not exactly local, but figured I’d share in case you havn't seen it yet and the setup outweigh distance. PM me if you’d like details or the full listing.

I'll take a look at this with the boss (wife) and let you know if I want to move forward with it. I'd have to get quotes to ship it to the East Coast as I fear 2500 miles might be a bit ambitious for a road trip LOL

Why limit yourself to a certain range of model years?? 2007 is a more desirable year, and 2008+ even more. The 2007+ cars are harder to find, but if one pops up, why wouldn't you grab it? $hit, if I came across a sweet deal on a 2010, I'd jump on it.
IMO the right Elise is the one that's mechanically sound and available.

Black is an easy color to avoid, so at least you're not like some guy who are holding his breath for an Autum Gold one.
