Selling my 2005 Lotus Elise, Saffron Yellow, Touring Package, original owner, bought new September 2004 from Fox
Valley Motors in Illinios, one of the first in the US (has antenna block off plug in trunk lid, a remnant of
Eurospec models, later cars do not have this) 56, 420 mostly highway miles. It's been to most of the states and
Canada, a couple of track days, a few autocross days, car shows, scenic drives, and half a dozen LOG's (Lotus
Owners Gatherings). New tires (less than 2500 miles) Continental ControlContact Sport (which are not as sticky as
the original Yokohamas but much quieter and less harsh), aluminum radiator, oil coolers with oil line service, body
color center shifter cover with shift lever service, yellow painted calipers. Most service done by Fox Valley Lotus
in IL, Sports and Specialist Lotus in Princeton NJ, and San Francisco Lotus in CA. Touring package includes power
windows, power door locks, remote locking (with two fobs), alarm, leather with cloth seats, and slightly more
carpet. Blaupunkt AM/FM CD stereo. Does NOT include hard top. I regularly get 30-35 MPG. This is my fourth Lotus
and I'm selling it after 11+ years to try a different Lotus model. It is a well cared for example driven by a
meticulous female owner. I have the original Monroney window sticker and most of the service records (moved twice
in the last 11 years, so some may have been misplaced)
That's about all I can think to say. A great car, you will not be disappointed.
