2005 Lotus Elise.
This car is in EXCELLENT condition! Just look at it!
It's like brand-new but it isn't perfect!
Pictures speak a thousand words, so please look at each picture or have someone come and inspect if you are
worried about the condition of the car. It runs great and drives strong.
It has NO leaks. It has one main problem - the check engine light for the aftermarket exhaust. It has never been
"tracked." It has never been "curbed"
This car is currently located in the greater Salt Lake City, Utah area and I will assist the new owner with
shipping or picking up, so long as your requests are reasonable; e.g. - pick you up at the airport, etc.
It drives AWESOME with no stearing problems or any other problem except those noted in here.
The car has EAGLE F-1 Rear Tires that were put on in 2008.
Factory Stereo that plays CDs and MP3 CDs (works great).
Touring Package.
SOFT TOP INCLUDED and in excellent condition (as seen in pictures)!
NO HARD TOP, REPEAT - IT DOES NOT COME WITH A HARD TOP. SOFT TOP ONLY.
I've never driven it in the rain or snow and have kept it garaged since I've owned it (I am the 2nd owner). I
HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER - Originally a Florida car). Between 2005-2008 the car was in
Florida and got about 9,500 miles on it. The rest of the miles have been between 2008 and today. I have the
original owner's manual.
Sorry, no factory warranty.
It is NOT due for an oil change until March 2017.
New battery in 2015.
You should be aware that it has an aftermarket exhaust on it and if the car sits too long the check engine light
comes on. The car just needs to be driven and the code cleared and it will stay off (that's what the Lotus
dealership told me).
No other problems other than those listed in here.
2 keys and 2 remotes with owner's manual (one of the keys is a blackwatch key).
Never been smoked in.
No accidents.
It's a blast to drive and I love it!
BUT my wife HATES the car because "EVERYONE STARES AT YOU WHEN YOU DRIVE IT"
Body Style Convertible
Mileage 12,345 - I still drive it, so it might be slightly higher. (I only put 155 miles on it last year)
Exterior Color CHROME ORANGE (it sparkles in the sun)
Interior Color BLACK LEATHER
Engine 4 Cylinder Gasoline (with aftermarket exhaust and air intake that sounds AWESOME)
Transmission Manual
Drive Type 2 wheel drive - rear
Fuel Type Gasoline
Doors Two Door
VIN SCCPC11175HL32298

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers
Fri, Jun 24 2016It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
Lotus Exige S gets automatic transmission option
Sun, 26 Oct 2014A vehicle as light and agile as the Lotus Exige is all about driver involvement, but those enticed by the nimble sports car's handling and performance who aren't keen on working a stick shift now have another option at their disposal.
Lotus has just announced the availability of an automatic transmission on both the Exige S and Exige S Roadster. For an extra couple thousand euros or pounds sterling, customers will now be able to order a six-speed automatic transmission. The two-pedal setup includes paddle shifters and Sport or Race modes that optimize shifting for "a more spirited drive."
Equipped with the slushbox, the Exige S Automatic is just as quick around Lotus' famous factory test track in Hethel, and even pips the manual version's 0-62 time by 0.1 second, now down to 3.9. Unfortunately, since the Exige isn't available Stateside anymore, however, American buyers can't get their hands on either version.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and a Final Four of automakers | Autoblog Podcast #723
Fri, Apr 1 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. We start out with news on the Lotus Eletre and Ferrari Purosangue. These two high-end crossovers are followed by discussions about the new inline-six engines from Stellantis and an overabundance of Hummer EV orders. Next we try something we've never tried before: ranking automaker blue bloods. We took inspiration from the current NCAA tournament, which features Duke, North Carolina, Villanova and Kansas — very much traditional blue-blood basketball programs — to name our Final Four automakers. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks and what your definition of a blue blood car brand is. We wrap up with a discussion about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that Jeremy's been driving all week. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
