2005 Lotus Elise Convertible, Beautiful Car - No Reserve Auction!!!! on 2040-cars

Year:2005 Mileage:40360
Location:

Phoenix, Arizona, United States

Phoenix, Arizona, United States

I'm selling my 2005 Lotus Elise. It is red with tan leather interior and a black soft top. It has power door locks and windows. This is a beautiful car that gets compliments everywhere I go, and it is extremely fast. But now that we have our third child, it just does not get driven enough to warrant me keeping it. 

Note that this Elise does have a restored title. I do not have much info on the accident as it was 2 owners ago. The only thing I was told is that it was hit on the driver's side clamshell, but it was professionally repaired and passed inspection to get the Restored Title. The car looks and drives great. I have had it for a year and a half with no issues. The only thing I had done was to replace an Oxygen sensor that went bad about a year ago. The car drives great, looks great, and runs great. There are a few small rock chips near the bottom of the front and rear fascia (from normal driving) so it's nothing that you would't see on any other 2005 Elise. They are not noticeable unless you are a few feet away from the car and trying to look for them. The rear tires have approximately 80% tread on them and the front tires have approximately 90% tread on them (see photos).

Please do not bid unless you have cash or unless you already have financing in place. Since it is a restored title some credit unions will not provide financing, but most larger banks usually will... of course that is also dependent on your credit score. Since this is a Restored title it can be registered in any state (it is Salvaged titles that cannot be registered until the vehicle is repaired, passes inspection, and then is granted a Restored title).

I require a $1,000 deposit within 48hrs of auction ending and full payment withing 7 days. I will help the best I can with any pickup/shipping arrangements that you want. I am located in the Southeast Phoenix area. If you are from out of town, I am willing to pick you up from Sky Harbor Airport. I can also help with setting up shipping if you decide to go that route.


Please feel free to call me if you have any questions at all or would like additional pictures of anything.

Thanks,
Mike

Lotus opens the 2013 Formula One season with the launch of the E21 [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Lotus has broken the seal on the 2013 Formula One season, launching the E21 car at its factory in Enstone. With the regulations this year quite similar to those of last year, there are no dramatic changes in form compared to the E20. After some teams lobbied to be able to cover the stepped nose with a "vanity panel," Lotus retained the configuration, the team's technical director saying that the panel would add more weight and didn't make sense to put on the car unless it also added performance.
Beyond that, the E21 is said to be an comprehensive advance in its details - the suspension gets a new layout, the Coanda exhaust and the passive double DRS system are evolutions from last year, the front wing is "a continuation of concepts" from 2009.
After securing fourth in the Constructor's Championship last year, this is the chassis that drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean will use to try and move the team up a place, which would mean beating one of the big three teams over the course of the season. The quietly and impressively consistent Räikkönen managed third in the Driver's Championship, and we're sure he wouldn't mind a move up in the standings, either.

Lotus recalling certain 2011 Evora S models for possible oil leak, fire

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last year about 80 examples of the 2011 Lotus Evora S were recalled over an issue with the oil feed pipe. The same number of 2011 Evora S', but with different manufacture dates, are back in the recall box again for a very similar issue; this time it's the engine oil cooler hose that could rupture and spray oil either onto the rear wheels or a hot engine part. Neither of those cases is good, and the latter could potentially lead to a fire.
Lotus is working on a solution, so a recall date hasn't been announced. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Race Recap: 2013 Indian Grand Prix mostly calm with chances of Championships

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

The smog around the Buddh International Circuit got so bad over the weekend that the FIA had to change the practice sessions. Then the soft tires that Pirelli brought to be the options were found to degrade so quickly that teams had to change their qualifying and race strategies. The only man it didn't seem to affect was - guess who? - Sebastian Vettel, who put his Infiniti Red Bull Racing on pole position.
Behind him came Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas, Mark Webber in the second Infiniti Red Bull and on medium tires, Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Kimi Räikkönen in the first Lotus, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and the McLaren duo of Sergio Perez and Jenson Button. The tire strategizing didn't work out for Romain Grosjean in the second Lotus, who didn't get out of Q1 after only running the medium compound tire and lined up 17th.
The Indian Grand Prix has been held twice and Vettel has led every single lap of both races. If nothing else, we knew there would be at least one new thing about this Indian Grand Prix: there'd be a lap not led by Vettel since he qualified on softs and would have to pit before Webber and Alonso who were both on mediums.
