This is kind of a bummer, but since I’m going back to school in the fall I’m thinking it’s not going to be very practical to have 2 cars. I’m going to be looking for one car I can have fun with all year long, summer and winter. Probably another JCW MINI or a BMW 135i. I just paid it off a few weeks ago (don’t have the lein release yet, but will soon), and I supercharged it a few weeks before that. It also has a new ACT HDSS clutch with less than 1,000 miles on it. 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 almost perfect with the exception of the seats and the steering, there are some decent wear marks on them. I have some room for negotiation because of this. 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 (barely) street legal race car that can keep up with some sports cars that cost 5-10x as much. Here’s all the info on the car… [http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?239442-2005-Lotus-Elise&p=3463290#post3463290](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?239442-2005-Lotus-Elise&p=3463290#post3463290) Color: Storm Titanium Transmission: 6-speed manual Mileage: less than 48,000 but will slowly go up I have a binder full of every part and service receipt I’ve had since I bought the car. Clean title, clean carfax, inspected until March 2014. It’s crazy fast and it runs like a champ. It easily gets 30-35 mpg on the highway too. Starting off at $32k OBO ---

Thanks man. > [@Mr. T](#): > > Ugh god I love everything about this car. What were your payments per month when you were paying on it > ? A little less than $400/month but I had a good down payment. If you were to finance the whole thing though I’m sure it would be in the $600 range. Insurance is cheap for it surprisingly. ---

> [@Mr. T](#): > > Ugh god I love everything about this car. What were your payments per month when you were paying on it > ? I like you dude, but silly question. It all depends on how much he put down, etc. On a 2005, at maybe 5 years MAX with 0 down… you’d be looking at $550-600 a month. AMAZING CAR, no way I could swing it. GLWS Drewster.

But I might change my mind by fall.

I’m hoping it stays in the area, there aren’t enough of them around here. I’m going to Towne BMW today or tomorrow just to see what they would give me on a trade for a new BMW 135is. I’m sure they’ll lowball the hell out of me but I’m curious. ---
