Default 2005 Lotus Elise Storm Titanium - 15k miles

I'm not sure if H-T is totally dead, but what the hell, I've been here forever, might as well list it here too.

This car only has 15k miles and has been a dream to own and drive. Fantastic to drive, no mechanical issues to note. And YES, when you cross 6k rpm you get the Toyota VVT-i crossover ie VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO'

Previously a California car, I moved her up here several years ago and she primarily serves as a garage queen only getting driven on sunny days. This car has both the Sport and Touring options.

The car is bone stock except for wear items. Shortly after I bought this car I replaced the original pads and rotors, lubed all of the caliper slides, and replaced all rubber bits on the calipers. Currently it has EBC slotted disks and Hawk HP+ pads on all four wheels. While noisy on the street, these pads perform extremely well especially when warm. Engine, exhaust, suspension, and pretty much all other performance bits people like to tinker with are original factory and have not been toyed with. Oil line recall work was performed before my ownership by Lotus of San Francisco. Tires are Bridgestone RE-71R and have ~1500 miles on them and are in excellent shape.

The bad on this car includes the usual scrapes on the bottom of the front of the clam, rock chips on the nose and in front of the rear wheels, usual wear and tear, and the loud brake pads. All relatively minor and correctable if the buyer chooses to do so.

Car comes with factory soft top and hard top.

Asking $35,499 obo
VIN: SCCPC11155HL32123
