[SIZE=5]_ **SOLD** _ It’s real this time. I found a house I want and I would like to use the money towards that. I’m in no rush to sell this car though, please don’t offer me your Civic Si or your dirt bike. I’m located in Orchard Park. If you’re interested, contact me through one of these: -PM -email: [drewsjcwmini@gmail.com](mailto:drewsjcwmini@gmail.com) -call/text: 716-NINE2THREE-THREE4SIX1 (sorry, don’t want spam) I have the lien release in hand and it has a clean title. This car is a southern car and has never seen snow. I bought it two years ago (spring of 2012) in Atlanta, GA and drove it to Buffalo. I supercharged it last spring and put a new ACT HDSS clutch in it. I have almost $8,000 in mods on this car. You won’t find anything like it unless you want to travel for one like I did. When I bought it there was some damage under the front grille. No one ever notices it so it never bothered me enough to get it fixed. There are some other little scratches too, nothing major. The interior is great with the exception of the seats and the steering wheel, there are some decent wear marks on them. I have some room for negotiation because of these things. Color: Storm Titanium with red leather interior Transmission: 6-speed manual Mileage: less than 50,000 but will slowly go up Options: Touring pack & Hardtop PLEASE do your research on these cars before you decide you’re interested. It is the furthest possible thing from a luxury sports car. It’s loud, obnoxious, and uncomfortable. There are rattles and squeaks but that’s just part of what the car is. It’s a very small, (barely) street legal race car that can keep up with some sports cars that cost 5-10x as much. It’s the definition of a lightweight British sports car. I have a binder full of every part and service receipt I’ve had since I bought the car. Clean title, clean carfax. It’s crazy fast and it runs like a champ. It easily gets 30-35 mpg on the highway too. Around 260hp and the car weighs a little over 1900lbs. The oil line recall has been done by Lotus of Cleveland. Mod List: Katana2 Supercharger kit (Eaton MP62/Greddy manifold & pulley) ACT HDSS Clutch ARP Flywheel bolts ARP Pressure plate bolts Radium Clam Removal kit Lotus/TRD Cup Airbox w/ K&N panel filter Vision Function RSR exhaust Larini Decat Pipe Rear panel delete Powerflex Front & Rear motor mount inserts QWKcans - Dual oil catch cans Lidbone - fancy hood prop Cup holder Rubber floor mats Suede Headliner Suede door inserts Black emblems Debadged rear Removed camber shims White start button LED NuKey key fob Flipped tail lights Shaved license plate plinth JVC KD-R330 headunit JBL 5.25" rear speakers JBL 4" front speakers Painted HVAC Painted center console Painted Rear Panel Painted rear diffuser Tinted windows I have all the stock parts I have taken off and they are included in the sale if you want them. $32,000 or best offer.

Sure is. Great guy, great car…I’ll keep my eyes/ears open for you, Drew. In fact, you might want to give Matt a call at the Lotus dealership. He might be interested as he’s still building an inventory… ---

Update: I forgot to say that there is a soft top with the car as well. Here’s a couple of videos too so you can see it starts, idles and revs perfectly. I still can’t figure out how to embed video on here so you’ll just have to copy the link. ![Explore D Malloy](https://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/VIDEO1_zps52a6a0ee.mp4?width=480&height=480&crop=1:1,smart) ![Explore D Malloy](https://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/VIDEO2_zpsd10afdfa.mp4?width=480&height=480&crop=1:1,smart) I finally got it out of the garage long enough to take some new pictures.

I’m not trying to be a dick, mostly curious, but this is only 5000 dollars less than I bought a 2005 elise for… over 8 years ago in 2006, and it only had 9000 miles on it. Are people still really paying this much for them? I get there are mods on it, but still… ---

A quick search shows that 2005’s are still right between 27-30K this is not a far fetched asking price even though it seems crazy that they held their value that well. ---
