Lotus Elise Elise (2005)
for sale

Price: US $38,500.00

Description:

2005 Lotus Elise, just 12, 500 miles, all original, no modifications. You can look all you want, this is as close to showroom as you will ever get on any car, let alone a Lotus Elise. Museum Grade.
2 FACTORY keys, not replacements, very rare. These keys are $400 each to replace and reconfigure.
***Both tops: Hard Top and Soft Top (Hard top was $2500 option, painted)
Factory Star Shield? FRONT and REAR!
Factory Manuals & Books? Yes
Damaged front spoiler as seen on 95% of mint Elise's? NONE. This has no front end damage at all. Again, this car is the best looking Elise I have seen and when you compare it to the other cars I have bought and sold on here, including my current car for sale, you will get why my reputation is where it is. I only buy the best.
Rare Pump-Up Lumbar Support seats? Yes. These stock seats are increasingly harder to find as not all imported 2005's had them and many 2006's and later did away with this feature. Given that these seats can be a bit harsh on some roads, any support you get is a bonus.
Factory Tool Kit/Case? Yes.
Recalls? Many people do not realize that almost every Lotus Elise from 2005-2007 has a dangerous factory recall for the oil line which takes 1-2 days to fix. This recall was completed by Motorcars of Georgia in March 2015, no other owner had this done. You can look it up, but all Elise's from these years had this problem and it is a potentially dangerous thing. Make sure ANY Lotus you are buying has had this done before buying it. Failure to disclose this to a new buyer when it is not done can subject someone to liability. Again, this HAS BEEN DONE!
BONUS! 4 BRAND NEW TIRES (ADVAN NEOVA's, not cheap replacements) - February 2015! Purchased from Tire Rack, installed locally. Anyone who knows these cars knows they rarely arrive with good tires nor with name brand tires. These tires are nearly $1, 250.00 installed.
This is 100% stock, with original radio. ZERO Modifications!
190 hp, 4 cylinders, gets about 26 mpg and also gets to 60 MPH in under 5 seconds!
This is as good as they come for a first-year edition.
Why am I selling her? As you can see with my other auction, I bought a rather expensive Porsche 911 and simply want to go from 3 cars to one. My Porsche Cayman is also for sale.
MY REPUTATION? 586 positives, not a single neutral or negative and I have sold several cars on here (including a near record setting 1982 Ferarri 308 GTSi, Mustang Shelby, and others over the years).
Private seller, not a dealer!
