CarFax shows the same accident as listed on AutoCheck, and elaborates a few months later: "Headlight(s) replaced; Hub cap(s)/wheel cover(s) replaced." I've visually inspected the vehicle and have no concerns of structural damage to the chassis. ExteriorFront grille is missing Undercarriage is missing a small trim piece that fits between the main chassis/tub and rear diffuser All paint on the vehicle has some water marks that should buff out to make a great finish Front clamshell has some chips in the paint near the license plate mounting point. The rear clamshell has a few light scratches above the passenger sidemarker lens. The passenger door just barely touches the front fender when opening, resulting in a 3/4" scuff The driver door again touches the front fender, with a slightly more-noticeable scratch where the panels rub There's a 1 1/4" chip in the paint on the rear clamshell, inside the driver door area, which is only visible when the door is opened. Clear bra material is installed on side mirrors and rocker panels (below the doors). The clear plastic still protects the paint nicely but is starting to fade. Soft top is in very good condition (still a deep black color) Trim rings around quarterpanel vents (behind the doors) have a few cracks Front wheels are black 15" wheels in great condition Rear wheels are the same wheels, but 15", in great condition Front tires are Falken Azenis RT615K 205/50R15 99W and aren't brand new, but have even treadwear and plenty of tread depth remaining. Rear tires are Falken Azenis RT615K 225/50R16 92W and have similar treadwear/depth. InteriorThe perforated-leather door insert on driver side has shrunk a little and doesn't wrap tightly its frame (you can see a bit of the underlying foam when looking down on the door) Tinting on side and rear windows has one or two minor blemishes on it but is overall clear and in good condition Door weatherseals are intact and work properly Driver door sill has what looks to be a 1/4" burn mark in the middle of it, with a few other scuffs from normal driver entry/exit Driver seat has some minor wear and scuffs (no cuts). A couple of stitches have frayed. Rear lumbar air bladders hold pressure for about 30 minutes of driving. Machined-aluminum surfaces have a few scratches from normal wear. Center console near shifter is scuffed from driver entry/exit Leather on steering wheel has some slight wear on it as to be expected with age and mileage Dash is in excellent condition. All buttons, controls, and HVAC vents operate properly. The only interior odor is a British race-car smell. No other odors such as from smoke or animals are present. ElectricalHeadlight(s) have been replaced in early 2007, as per CarFax vehicle history report. Both the headlights and turn signals have some signs of sun oxidation but are still clear. Taillights are very clear. Each has a star-like set of cracks from the center of the lens (cosmetic only) Side markers (tinted) and other lights/lenses in the cabin function properly. Blaupunkt stereo head unit and speakers MechanicalBrembo brake pads are installed with cross-drilled rotors and original calipers Engine runs well and has no leaks. Transmission shifts properly. There is some lateral movement felt in the shifter, which is only due to the original design of the center console. There may be a small leak where the shift linkage enters the transmission, as it's a little wet there. As far as I know, beyond normal maintenance, no modifications have been made to the original components of this Elise. TitleThe title shows actual mileage. There are no title brands such as salvage, theft, or total loss The Lotus is titled in my name (no liens) and is ready to be signed over into the new owner's name! I've only owned this vehicle for a short time. As a dad of young kiddos, I don't have the time to enjoy it, and I've decided that it needs to be owned by someone who does!
