Pristine 2005 Lotus Elise in Arctic
Silver Metallic with Red Touring Pack leather interior
.
The Lotus Elise is the purest
road-legal sports / track car you can buy. Every automotive publication and car
show has raved about the awesome handling. This is your chance to own a
near-perfect, low mileage example of what has been called the best handling
sports car in the world.
This particular car has had
only one owner. The car has traveled just 11, 700 miles and was always dealer
serviced. It has never been in an accident or had any paintwork. Even the
factory alloy wheels are in excellent condition. The Arctic Silver Metallic
paint was an extra cost option. It still looks like new. The car was sold new
with the Touring Pack option which featured full carpet set, leather interior, power windows, insulated removable soft top, added sound and thermal
insulation, upgraded sound system, and stowage net behind the seats.

There is no significant wear
anywhere on this car. The doorsills are not scratched-up. The front “ears”
below the grill are lightly scraped but much less than is typical. The interior is great overall. There is
a very small area on the driver’s side seat where the harness buckle scraped
the leather (see photo). The car
has always been garaged. All the black trim and grill-work is original, unfaded
dark black. The headlight covers are clear and unscratched.
The Yokohama Advan Neova
tires have 4/32 inch tread depth on each. The original tire inflation can is
mounted in the truck.
The original radio remains in
place. The car comes with two keys and key fobs, original owner’s manual, original tool kit, service receipts, and window sticker. Even the original radio box with
instruction manual is still with the car.
Ever since Lotus stopped
bringing the Elise to the US after the 2011 model year, good Elises with low
mileage have become harder and harder to find. You could look a long time
before finding a better one than this. This is the perfect weekend sports car and occasional track day car. I am happy to try to answer any
questions that you have. The car is in central New Jersey. You are encouraged
to come check it out in person.
This car is for sale locally.
It is sold as is / where is. I reserve the right to end this listing early. The
car has no warranty. The buyer cannot take or ship the car until after I am
satisfied that 100% of the amount due has been safely received. I will accept
cash, wire transfer or cashier’s check. Shipping is the responsibility of the
buyer.
