2006 Lotus Elise Convertible Carbon Fiber Sport Touring Pack on 2040-cars

Year:2006 Mileage:35078
Location:

Elkhorn, Nebraska, United States

Elkhorn, Nebraska, United States

Up for sale is my 2006 Lotus Elise which has the premium, touring, and sport packages.  I am the 3rd owner of this car and purchased it with 31k and have just passed the 35k mark.  This car is a real head turner due to the carbon fiber clamshell and the gold flakes in the lifestyle paint.  This Elise also has a very unique quilted biscuit interior.  The pictures show the hard top but also includes a soft top as well.  Please review original MSRP (see photos) for additional equipment/features.

 

I have had it in the shop twice for regular maintenance/oil changes (every 30k or 1.5 years).  New tires were installed last year and currently have less than 1000 miles. 

 

Overall, the car is in great shape.  The carfax is clean and there are no mechanical issues or leaks. 

 

Flaws

  • Front carbon fiber lip has seen some driveway curbs and speed bumps.  It is not part of the front clamshell and can be replaced.
  • Radio is aftermarket and if you don’t get the face on just right it will cut in/out
  • Two small dime shape chips are in the rear roof from where the trunk was open too far and scraped the paint.
  • Rims showing some road rash (typical for any car) 

Accessories included: lotus car cover, diamond plate floor mats, stage 2 exhaust, JVC KD-NX5000 head unit. 

 

Transportation

Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up (Omaha, Ne) or shipping.  The buyer is responsible for all shipping charges.

Lotus suing former CEO Bahar over spending on homes, helicopters and watches

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

More details have come out about the legal suit and countersuit being contested between Lotus cars owner DRB-Hicom and former CEO of Lotus Dany Bahar. Bahar was brought in by Malaysian car company Proton in 2009 to turn Lotus around, and events during his tenure have made just about everyone wonder "What's going on?" That's not unusual - it can take a minute to figure things out when a new leader takes everything in a new direction - but in this case the clouds didn't clear quickly enough.
When the Malaysian government sold Proton to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom earlier this year, a forensic accounting team from Ernst & Young and The Rothschild Group started going over the books. Not long after, Bahar was suspended in June from his position and then fired. In his countersuit against DRB-Hicom, claims of lavish spending began to surface. Then the stories and leaks and rumors really began, the UK's Financial Mail reporting on more than one million pounds spent on private flights and home renovations, the New Zealand Herald talking about other executives sacked so that DRB could rearrange a 270-million-pound bank loan to Lotus, and rumors on forums about Bahar flying from his home in Norfolk to Hethel HQ and spending 30,000 pounds on motorsports books for his office.
In the latest Bloomberg report it is said that DRB-Hicom seeks 2.5 million pounds ($4 million US) from Bahar "for unauthorized expenses and overpaid salary and bonuses," including the purported expense of 3,000 pounds on watches for company managers. DRB-Hicom also says Bahar made damaging statements to the media, on top of breaching his contractual duties. Bahar's countersuit seeks $10.6 million from DRB-Hicom.

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.
