what price would i have to pay to get a good 1999 111s or standard s1 elise,and are they a car you can use every day(i hear they dont like wet roads!!!)i just want a fun car,that is not going to cost the earth to run…also will the nice man at the Insurace company want more cash off me if i put a stainless Ex and a KnN filter(are the cone filters much better than the pannel filter) on the car…is it wise to tell them all the mods if any.[This message has been edited by andy (edited 02 November 2001).][This message has been edited by andy (edited 03 November 2001).][This message has been edited by andy (edited 03 November 2001).]
I guess it depends on whether you want to pay dealer prices or buy privately.I’d be looking at around the �18K mark
Hi Andy,If you are looking for a S1 elise I have a standard Azure Blue one for sale, I have had it form new as it has a full Lotus main dealer (Bell & Colvill) service history. With regard to economy it is very economical +40 mpg. As for fun it is fantastic they are so light and easy to drive . I have also driven an 111-S and IMHO the standard elise is better as the 111-S is not appreciably faster and feels as if it needs a sixth gear. If you are interested in mine call me on 020-8947-1798.Nick.

I would like to buy from a dealer,but not keen on the dealer price!!!i will be on a bit of a tight budget,do most dealers give a good warrenty on the used elise’s…and it may be a silly question but is it a cheep car to keep on the road?i know that depends on how hard you drive the car but thought i would ask… quote:Originally posted by Admin5:I guess it depends on whether you want to pay dealer prices or buy privately.I’d be looking at around the �18K mark
Andy,somebody has to pay for the swish show room, and the sharp suited sales man. Then the dealer has to make a profit. IMO the dealers probably have a 2-3k mark up and you are probably best buying a good one (like mine!)privatly and even if somthing does go wrong 2-3k buys a lot of spares and repairs. Food for thought!Nick
