LOWER MILES!!! I'm sorry but I have such a problem with those who assume that a car will be better if it's a garage queen. I purchased my Esprit with 27K miles and it was amazing. I sold it with 46K miles and the guy who owns it now has NO problems at 52K miles(probably more now). I made SUCH a mistake purchasing my first Esprit with 9K miles and 9years old. IT WAS PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM... The mechanic at Ferrari of Los Gatos said it best..."Your biggest problem was purchasing a car that is rarely driven. That is one of the major reasons why Ferraris and Lotus' come into my shop. They sit for long periods of time and these cars MUST BE DRIVEN"... He was dead freak'n on! MAN.. I try to preach to everyone I know who are looking for exotics, purchase the one with good records and more miles. You'll probably get it for less and you will definately have MUCH LESS problems....

WOW... Sorry about that... Thanks for allowing me to stand on my soap box AJ. Rant over...

"I'm Rick Jones beoch." Sorry couldn't resist. Anyone who watches the David LaCheppelle show(sp) will get it.

29 years is a long run, but the numbers are low partly because the demand was not there.....and the mechanicals on the car became dated because lotus didnt have the funds to throw money into it...16 cars in 2004 is hardly big demand...chevy will sell 100 c6 vettes per day!!!!
