2005 Lotus Elise Ready For Summer on 2040-cars

2005 Lotus Elise

I bought the car 2/27/2012 with 15809 it now has 18532

I had been looking for a Lotus Elise for ever when this one came up locally I jump on it without checking into it I didn’t even know it had a salvage title until my credit union call and told me (my bad) but I was very excited to own a Lotus .

I did look at as much as I could when I went to look at it but there were 2 other people there looking at it also that's why I jumped on it. Don’t get me wrong it’s an awesome car.

I believe the car came from Florida and the place I bought it from did the body work

There was only fiberglass damage NO chassis damage at all

They didn’t do the best job in the world and the front very bottom was not done as you can see in the pictures but I see most Elise’s have the same problem

There is a scratch on the driver’s door that looks like they painted over it and one on the back upper trunk area

The passenger door window is tinted blue but not driver’s side. (I think that is where it might have had the damage but not sure also the paint on the door is very slightly different very hard to tell)

Also inside the Drives door where the hinge there are some scratches or cracks (not sure) but it’s not affecting structure at all and was never painted (see pictures)

Don’t get me wrong the car looks great

Power windows work great

No keys entry (there might be I just didn’t get the opener)

The paint it nice and shinny

Typical Lotus radio never picks up any stations CD player rocks

The leather boot around the shifter is lose at bottom

Hardtop is missing the back brackets I don’t know why I just never received them

(Lotusgarage.com about $40) I never use the top so never bothered

I put new tires on back front ones still have good tread

I have changed the oil twice with Royal Purple I don’t know why I did it twice I had big plans

Now for the Motor train

NEVER a drop of anything under car

NEVER loses a drop of anything

Car runs and drives GREAT everything is as tight as it was from the factory (only 18000 miles)

Front brakes just started squeaking I might change them before auction ends (AutoZone D109 $20.00)

No promises

My wife and I loved cruising around but we could only last about an hour before we got sore (yeah we’re old and fat LOL

I paid $25000 for the car and my reserve is much lower than that I just can’t handle the $600 a month payment anymore

The car is not perfect I tried to list everything I know so there are no surprises but on the same note the car drives AWESOME and looks good too

Funds will have to be creared before the title and car can be tranfored I still owe the credit union but they have the title on hand

Any questions PLEASE ask

 Sorry I just added the rest of the pictures I don't know why they didn't go the first time.

And it's actually in Mentor , Ohio 44060 5 minutes away from 44077 (I moved)

Also someone asked for a warranty. this is something I can not offer I have described the car the best I can and it does run fantastic.

I've only run HIGH TEST gas and its been stored inside never even seen rain since I've had it.

Sorry but it's a AS IS auction.
