Elise and Exige cars are track animals out of the box, but this one has some extra goodies that made it stand out from the crowd and caught our eye (beyond the bright yellow paint). The oiling upgrades, safety hardware, and suspension upgrades make it a true street / trackday fighter. Read through the thread here to get the details about the title, overall looks like a great deal. Details from the seller below and a gallery at the bottom:
2005 Lotus Saffron Yellow Elise
Odometer: 28,000 Miles
Price: $35,000
I prefer to be completely upfront in all transactions so here are the details of this vehicle. Car holds a Texas blue rebuilt title as a result of front end damage in past, but before you ignore this car you might want to read this unique situation. You are getting a fully modded track/street Lotus for a fraction of the cost due to the status of the title. The car has absolutely no issues mechanically or visually. The front clam was cracked and damaged which caused insurance company to total the car due to the cost of fiber glass repair. This insurance situation is common on these cars. The car was completely professionally repaired with the front clam being replaced, not fixed, and there was no damage to frame or structure which was thoroughly inspected. I would challenge anyone to identify that it had ever been in an accident. At the time of the repair all the additional modifications were done to make it a full custom street/track car by a professional shop. The parts were brand new and receipts are available. From dual oil coolers to Nitron singlets for the suspension to full headers and exhaust. This car is much faster than stock and rides much smoother on the street/street due to the suspension upgrade. Car is in excellent shape, has been inspected in 2014, received a blue title with a rebuilt comment, and was worked on by the best mechanics in the industry. Recent suspension overhaul and setup by Suspension Performance. This car needs nothing for the street or track. Fully sorted and documented. Placed 2nd at the Sonoma Lotus Cup in California.
Comes with both soft top and hard top.

Yes, this car has been on track. About 5 track days in total on her. Tires are at 80% with Toyo R888. Team Dynamics wheels are perfect. Brakes pads are track oriented and sometimes squeak on the street, but an easy change $20 change for different pads. AC system has been freshly serviced and blows cold for the summer heat with the air flow mod already done. Redline oil used for the oil changes.
Please, do not waste my time with low offers. The price is quite firm. — no free rides. I am willing to ship the car once the cash clears and can suggest shipping vendors that I have used in the past though I would much prefer you picked up the car in person.
There are over $15,000 in upgrades on this car without the cost of labor and a complete tune. If you have cash in hand we can take a drive — no cash no ride. No offers to help sell the car. All transactions will be done at my bank or through PayPal for both our safety.
Only selling since I need room in my garage for a motorcycle project. I have owned 3 other Elises and this one is by far the fastest and most visually stunning in person.
