Lotus Elan

are these any good? there is one for sale for 1600 near me, looks real clean but I don’t know much about them yet. I have been reading but would like some opinions.

1600 dollar “exotic”

good luck

I posted a link on the cl thread, I"m expecting a project for that price, but like I said I just don’t know that much about these cars yet

If you’re talking about the super nice looking one on Craigslist, it’s a scam. Flagged off of Buffalo and Rochester sites.

I would guess a $4000-$5000 early 90’s Miata would be cheaper.

it’s on ithaca and includes a local number. I guess I am looking more for opinions on the model itself. It looks very unique but I can’t find very many driving reviews

I can’t find a video of episode of Victory by Design “Lotus”. But if you ever watch it you probably would buy it without giving it another rational thought.

Here this looks correct, I’m not DLing though.

used to work at a lotus dealer, bad idea if you don’t have a large amount of very very disposable income.

it could also be a second gen Elan (M100), which is FWD

^ thats exactly what it is…

looks like a cracked out mr2 but I thought it might be nimble since it was a lotus and turbocharged

there has been another thread on here about that car. search for it.

sorry, good info though
