Buying Another Lotus Elise (S3)
Discussion
Seriously looking at buying another Elise
Thought about a Cup 250 2nd hand however it's simply to low and won't go up the drive
I've owned quite a few so advice isn't required however I want a good deal! Why are they pricing so high it's crazy!
Probably going to go down the route of deposit plus payments (again if I can get a good deal). Other than that, I'll buy something private (30k)

they do seem to be holding their price very well, although i asked about a px on mine against a AMG45 on was told it CAP'd at £20k and he would'nt give me that as he wasn't sure he'd get his money back, this is on a 2011 S3 SC with 18k miles and full lotus history, he would go to £18k max .

I think if you wanted to get out of it quickly and weren't aware of the specialist dealers then I can understand a low bid like that. Offer the same car privately at £26/7k and it would probably sell.Boggy said:

Time to move house. It's the only sensible answer!On a serious note, are they significantly lower than a Cup 220? Our 250 surprised me how well it copes with speed cushions and the like.

What colour etc is your car?I’ve got cash if it’s the right car and you’d like to sell
