INFORMATION
You are bidding on a 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

Mileage 12, 345 - I still drive it, so it might be slightly higher. (I only put 155 miles on it last year)
