Price: US $37,900.00
A very rare Lotus Esprit is being offered with less than 14, 000 miles. It is one of 123 V8s produced in 1999 and one of 1, 237, for total production, over 9 years. This Lotus has been a garage queen with very limited use, but regularly driven to keep it in excellent running condition. The Esprit has an updated Alpine stereo with Blue Tooth and hands free smart phone connection. A stainless free flow exhaust from PNM Engineering has also been added and provides an awesome sound as well as being much lighter. Upgrades also include the Oz Nova alloy wheels with Michelin Pilots. The Michelins are in good shape with about 60% of their life left. Both sunroofs are included, along with a battery tender and additional keys. Maintenance records for the Lotus are also available. The only humidity that this Lotus has seen has come from a garden hose when washed. It has been on carpet in a garage it's entire life and is spotless.This Esprit is ready to be driven anywhere (weather permitting) and as a previous Porsche owner I was amazed at the performance this Esprit provides over its rivals. This is a true super car and a super value. You will see Esprits' listed for far more by dealers, or with many more miles but this Esprit is priced to sell quickly and you will not be disappointed. Just be prepared for every 16 year old to want pull up along side so they can snap a shot with their cell phone.
I drove the Lotus home, from Las Vegas to St. Louis several years ago, after purchasing it with a little over 9, 000 miles on it and it was a dream to drive. There were absolutely no issues. Since that time it is being driven (weather permitting) 12 miles once a week or two to keep it in top shape. It has won two first in class plaques at our British Car Show in St. Louis.
