2006 Lotus Elise

Lotus Elise (2006)
for sale

Price: US $39,500.00

Description:

I have decided to offer up my pristine 2006 Elise ahead of a major cross-country move.
While I am totally fine taking the car with me, I currently have four vehicles and this one hasn't been getting enough driving attention so I figured I'd let the universe decide what happens. It will be listed here for seven days and if it is not sold by then, it will come back off the market and get shipped to my new house. Non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours, balance due either in person at transfer or before car is released for shipment. Car must be picked up within one week of purchase unless we make other arrangements prior to purchase. I have the free and clear title in hand.
Short details:
I am the second owner and bought this car less than two years ago from the original selling dealership after the original owner enlisted their help to market it.
Options include both sport and touring packages, a color matched hardtop, starshield, and the lifestyle paint. That means it has two oil coolers, lightweight wheels, and other very nice options.
It is autumn gold in color, one of 12 imported to North America and 10 for the U.S. (confirmed by the build sheet I ordered from Andy at Lotus Headquarters in Hethel). The color is second rarest behind aubergine.
If you don't know this hue, it is amazing and shifts through a range of greens depending on light.
No track time or hard driving at all. I had a pre-purchase ECU dump done and it showed VERY conservative use. In fact, the car was almost never even on the second cam. I've only added approximately 900 miles since then ... mostly quick runs just to keep things flowing.
Car is bone stock and has been garage kept. It has zero mods other than a lighter-weight battery which is held by a very nice RLW battery holder. It is always kept on a trickle charger.
The only flaws: One window is currently a bit off track (common problem and easily rectified.) There is very minor wear on the seats and steering wheel. That’s it. It is in amazing, collector quality condition. Ready to drive anywhere, though I would recommend an oil change before the summer driving season. The tires probably have a few thousand miles left on them.
Also included: Unused (at least under my ownership) soft top, aforementioned build sheet from Lotus, window sticker, two sets of keys, books, manuals, tools, etc.
Car is currently located about 30 minutes from Philly airport. I would be happy to pick up a purchaser for fly and drive.
Any other questions, just ask. Thanks for looking.
