***This is for local pickup only***

I will not ship this car, You can fly in and I will pick you up at the airport so you can drive the car home.  If you have any questions call me at 704-728-5988.  I will NOT respond to texts as there are too many scammers that try to use texting these days.
****VERY IMPORTANT****
There will be a 200.00 dollar non-refundable deposit whether you decide to take the car after the auction or not.  This is to deter tire kickers, I highly suggest you come and take a look at the car in person before bidding if possible.  Also, I will take you for a test drive to show you how the car performs and sounds, runs etc... but, I can't let anyone drive the car before the purchase unless you want to take it for a spin right before you hand over the cashiers check and I sign the title into your name.  Sorry, I just don't want a bunch of people who just want to take a joy ride and drive a Lotus.

I have the free and clear title in hand and ready to sign over.
You have 7 days to pick up and pay for the car.  I'm not inflexible but, I want to make sure whomever bids on it has every intention of completing the purchase.  

Sorry, I wanted to get all of that out of the way first and if you haven't left yet...

Now about the car:

It is a 2006 Lotus Elise which has 50,000.00 miles on the chassis and about 16,000.00 on the engine.  The engine was replaced at around 34,000 miles because of an oil line failure.  These oil lines were part of a recall that was subsequently fixed on this car after the engine was completely replaced at a Lotus dealership.  It has a custom Larini exhaust, catalytic converter was removed and has a Fujita intake.  It has a Difflow diffuser on it and I purchased and installed the rear clam hinge kit from BOE fabrication.  Along with the rear clam hinge kit I installed a Braille racing battery.  The rear clam hinge kit makes this car a breeze to work on since it opens the entire rear clam of the car for easy access to the engine bay.  It has both the hard top and the soft top.  The tires have probably 70 percent of the tread on them.  Brakes and clutch are in excellent shape.  I also purchased a custom ECU for the car from BOE called Fastworks which basically converts the stock ECU into a fully tunable ECU.  

This car is in excellent mechanical shape.

The AC blows good and cold.  Remember this car was built for racing at the track but, it also is comfortable to drive around town.  I bought this car from a guy in Texas and drove it back to North Carolina in a single day.  I didn't have any problems with back aches or anything like that.  I'm 6 feet tall and the car is comfortable for me to drive.  The guy I bought it from was probably 6'2".

Oil has been changed on time with synthetic oil only and recently replaced the serpentine belt.

The car isn't perfect which is why the starting price is lower.  I would say the car is an 8 out of 10 cosmetically outside and a 9 out of 10 on the inside.  If you're looking for perfection then move on to another car because this isn't it.  If you are looking for a car that looks stunning from 5 feet away then this car is for you.  


 I am the third owner of the car.  I've had the car for a little over two years and it has been fun to drive.

I'm getting rid of it because I'm planning on building a home in the foothills of North Carolina and I will no longer need this car.

Ask me any questions you like either directly on the phone or through Ebay's messaging system.

Miami real estate investor selling world's largest collection of Bond cars

Tue, Feb 25 2014

In 2011 Miami real estate investor Michael Dezer bought dozens of cars used in the James Bond films from the Bond Museum in Keswick, England. Since then, he's added to the trove which now stands at 59 cars, as well as motorcycles, boats, jetskis, tanks and thousands of photos, posters and memorabilia. It is the largest collection of 007 cars in the world, and Dezer has put it up for sale for 20 million pounds ($33.25M US) - the caveat is that you have to buy the entire collection. But what a collection it is. Among the six Aston Martins are the DB5 from Goldeneye, the Vanquish from Die Another Day and both V8s from The Living Daylights. There is also the Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me - not the Esprit submarine that Elon Musk bought last year at auction, but the pre-dive roadgoing car. The new owner of the collection will keep things up to date with the Audi A5 and the Land Rover Defender 110 from the opening scene of Skyfall, and properly varied with the dragon tank from Dr. No, the Fairey Huntress yacht in From Russia with Love, and the chopped-in-half Renault 11 from A View to a Kill. An agency in the UK is handling the sale. We will now leave you to handle the money transfer from your people in Liechtenstein.

Watch some vintage F1 cars blast up a Japanese mountain road

Mon, Dec 28 2015

It's a rare treat to see classic Formula One cars racing anywhere, but watching them on a Japanese mountain road is absolutely sublime. The folks behind Motorhead from Japan took over the toll road's twisting stretch of tarmac to turn this impossible dream into a reality. The unusual opportunity of a closed mountain road would be a waste for only two vehicles, and there were plenty of drivers in amazing machines that wanted to blast up the hill. After the vintage F1 cars got their turn, some drifters in a Nissan GT-R and a Toyota GT86 added some tire smoke to the misty mountain air. A couple more GT-R racecars and some modern sports cars eventually joined them. Before the rain hit, this team had quite a party going on. This video features amazing camera work, but the music unfortunately drowns out the chance to hear these amazing racecars. If watching this leaves you wanting more, Motorhead released a video last year of another group of impressive performance vehicles on the mountain road.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
