    Great car. I look at it like this for anyone interested. How much money could you actually lose on this car? If you keep it for a few years and drive it to 10-15k miles it will still be worth 45-50k I would think. Is it ever worth less than 40 at all? Seems like a great investment for fun if you have the cash. GLWS

    agreed. at this price and with the miles that low i doubt anyone who buys will lose more than 5-9k tops (excluding any maintenance or repairs).

    absolutely gorgeous car. I owned a white 1999 V8, 1 of 3 white V8's in NA, for 3.5 years. Car was a blast to own and ultra reliable. One question, though, what happened to the black plastic trim that is always attached the bottom of the front bumper?

    It is sitting in a bag in my garage in perfect condition --- I always have it removed from the car for better ground clearance as my driveway has a fairly steep entrance.

    Well folks, my Esprit is still for sale, and I am now preparing to turn the car over to a consignment service. I'd rather avoid the hassle of dealing with that, so before I do, I'm dropping the price down one last time for a private sale.

    $47,900

    Your car is mint! Don't drop your price anymore as it's worth every penny, if I didn't buy one already I would be all over your car

    Last chance offer at a below-market price of

    $46,700

    I am confident you will not find a better deal on a V8 Esprit in this condition !

    Very nice car. Is the rear "wing" a factory installed item or aftermarket?

    I love Esprits. I had one, but man was it impossible to move! I feel your pain.

    People just don't know these cars and how good they are.

    It looks like 'real money' on the V8s I've seen sell is low to mid 30s, which is a shame.

    Actually, I have a sale pending. As with all these cars, eventually the right buyer comes along who appreciates what they are getting :)
