2005 Lotus Elise, Ardent Red with Tan leather interior. It currently has just under 51,400 but I am still driving it. When new it was advertised with a 0-60 of 4.6 seconds with the sport package. Clear title. The car does have some nicks and scratches from daily driving duties. We had his and hers Elises and after daily driving the first once since 07 and then this one, its time to move on. The wheels are painted gold. They weren't done flawlessy but they look decent. I wasn't sure about the color, nor was I sure about powder coating forged aluminum so I tried the color in paint. The color looks sharp in person and makes the car unique to other Elises. If you don't like it, its easy to strip. There is a small fiberglass crack inside the 'mouth' area just below one of the driving lights. The rockers should also be painted because of chips, just before the rear tires. There is also a scratch behind the passenger side window that has been touched up. The car has only been serviced with synthetic oil while in my possesion and it has been done within the last thousand miles. I just had a set of brand new tires put on this past Thursday. I had a new head unit installed last week with a USB port and jack as well as Pandora control for your phone. The car has a soft top only and it is the thicker padded version. I personally would drive this car any distance with only a concern about comfort. That being said, it does not come with any warranty- Sold as-is. It has never let us down and continues to provide a smile even on the worst of days. The car is currently financed through USAA and has a PA title- it would take a week or two to recieve the title from the state. The car is currently in Pensacola Florida and garage kept. I'm not 100% sure why I am selling it to be honest... other than to maybe try a car that doesn't get quite so much attention. After experiencing a majority of the sports and exotics out there, there isn't one as raw as this for the street and with a body. To clarify, the wheels are now gold. The silver wheel pictures are from the past few months and are just to provide more pictures. I just added a picture of the crack in the front and the touched up scratch on the passenger side. • LSS Sport Package (lightweight alloy wheels, track-tuned Bilstein suspension, Brembo brakes w/ABS) • Touring Package (full leather seating, power windows, insulated soft-top, additional sound-deadening, and carpet)• Custom header, custom baffled oil pan, driving lights, upgraded air horn, brand new JVC head unit with USB, jack, and Pandora control, fire extinguisher, DDM HID's with 1 extra kit.

Keep that in mind when bidding- you might want to add a small buffer for those last second bidders. All the people that have sent me a message seemed like good people and it is an awesome car so I wish you all good luck. Someone will be very happy very shortly. Keep in mind that I will need full payment and it clear/confirmed by the bank before handing over the car. The title may take up to a couple weeks to recieve from Pennsylvania dmv.On May-12-13 at 13:27:22 PDT, seller added the following information: I'll add my phone number for the next hour for anyone that needs to talk to a real person. 610 is the area code 906, 586two. And for all of the buy it now requests, I won't end this early now. If you want an easy buy it now number, I would venture to guess that bid of $25,5k-26k won't be out bid in the next hour. -thanks, Steve
