I am interested in selling because I am focusing on road racing, and the Elise doesn't really fit into those plans. The car is located in Pittsburgh, PA.

The car is a 2005, currently with a little over 11,000 miles. The car is in fantastic condition. There are a few rock chips in the starshield in front of the rear wheels and that's about it. The A/C works great, I've never had any problem with it freezing up or any of the usual Lotus complaints. All dealer service/recalls have been done. Overall this is a great example of an Elise with a proven history, you would be hard pressed to find a cleaner, sounder, or better example.

The only modification is a quicksilver exhaust. It sounds great, like a sportbike when it's on the 2nd cam. The car has a hard top and soft top. It has the sport and touring packs. The car will come with a set of the LSS wheels as well as black team dynamics wheels.

Obviously the car has been autox'd, where it is very competitive. It came 2nd nationally in SCCA SS and currently holds the SCCA TT track record for a door banger at the Beaverun Wilson circuit. If you aren't an autocrosser, don't let the fact that the car has been autocrossed scare you off; in this case it simply means that the car has been maintained and inspected much better than average.

My asking price is $35,500.
Here are a few pictures of the car while in my ownership. Any questions feel free to PM me, email (stratman1532@gmail.com) or post here.

Thanks!

Dude that car is bad-ass...I have always loved Lotus's (or is it Loti :stickoutt) because of their perfect combo of powerfully taut 4 cylinders and light-weight chasis. Good luck, hopefully some day I will get my hands on one.

Thanks for the kind words.

It seriously pains me to sell this car, but it has to happen.
