After sales service after 1000 miles or 12 months then
Every 9000 miles or 12 months which ever comes sooner.

Service schedule is:
AS A A B A A C etc

[theweeninjaguy]

what's the approx cost of the A and B services?

at a specialist:

A £180
B £250
C £500

+ 50-70% at a dealer

'A Dealer' in Scotland will cost quite a bit more.

£325 for an A service which I had recently, I was told by the sales guy that the B service was about £500 and the C service about £1000! About probably means more as he said the A service was about £300

[theweeninjaguy]

right so assuming it's serviced at the correct interval rather than once a year we're looking at

AS - 1k
A - 10k
A - 19k
B - 28k
A - 37k
A - 46k
C - 55k

?

No..

AS - 1k

But this is outside the normal servcice schedule.

A - 9k
A - 18k
B - 27k
A - 36k
A - 45k
C - 54k

And don't forget that all services not only carry a certain milage, but also a time indication.

So a very low-milage car that's old enough may need a C-service at 9k because it's more than 4 years old.

Actually 'A' and 'B' services should be done at least once a year, irrespective of milage.

Bye, Arno.

i'm just looking to get an elise and i don't really want to spend £16k or something for an S2 and then have to service it!

What's the big deal?

Depending on the service needed you just factor it into the price you pay... haggling skills 101

When I was in Sinclaires a couple of months back for a B service on my 3 year old S2 I am sure I remember them mentioning that Lotus are now recommending cambelt change (which is part of the C service I believe) at 4 year intervals not the manual quoted 5 years) meaning it will require changing next year. Christ hope I didn't dream this or will get shot to bits!

Nope you're right.
