    For anyone interested, these are very reliable in stock form when serviced regularly. Not to mention they sound amazing with straight pipes!

    I will own another Esprit one day!

    Damn it!! Why oh why didn't you list this car before our dollar sank? 35k used is a serious deal.

    Agreed....I'd love to put this in my garage, but we're in the midst of closing on a new place so it will have to wait. Too bad as I'd have plenty of room! GLWS!

    Is the Elise airbag wheel smaller than the original?
    Still have any of the original parts you swapped out?
    Thanks.

    Gorgeous car.

    Are the interior photo links broken or is it just me?

    Yes, the Elise airbag wheel is smaller and much more attractive than the early 1990's GM steering wheel supplied with the car.

    I do not have the original steering wheel, exhaust, or rear valance. That being said, they can be had on Lotus Talk for very cheap as most owners upgrade.

    Thank you!

    The interior links work for me but if you are viewing from work they may be blocked as they are on Photobucket. Anyone else having issues?

    Bottom line price, $33,000. Another Evora S popped up that I would like to purchase but need garage space. Price includes most service records, most spare parts except those noted above, and fitted indoor red car cover.

    Hooray! Someone is getting a sweet car for a great price. I was contemplating this as a fifth car since it came up. Would come complete with a divorce for me which is why I didn't pull the trigger. I guess I am getting soft in my old age bc it would have been worth every penny!
