Oh Baby...
BRING IT TO MIRA!!!!!! It would be fabulous to have something even more exotic there than the Lola T-70 I was drooling over a few months ago!! I'll look forward to seeing the pictures. |
OK..
The dealer has offered me the following:- the S4S (up at £27,950) for my car (above) and £19,850. Does this sound reasonable? I have little idea what my car is actually worth. Also, the price of the Lotus is quite low anyway.. I can't be arsed to sell it privately unless it is really really easy but I should surely get more than 8K for it? What do you think? Cheers Simon |
Dear Simon,
£8k trade in on your Scooby? I think they're being extremely generous! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif LOL Mike PS Only kidding (as if you didn't know!). |
I told them I'd chuck in the 600BHP Cossie I let the kids play with in the garden, and they bumped it up to £8010.
So top price for the girl's car and bottom for mine kind of evens out! |
They gave you ten quid for Mikes car? Thats incredible. I knew you'd be one smooth talking negotiator, but that almost defies belief...!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

I had a V8 for about 6 months - although a fair few things went wrong with it (including going back to Norfolk for a new engine under warranty)
It was, and still is, the fastest, most exciting thing I've ever driven. Mine was a 98R plate (last of the square dash models) in bright red with lotus sports pipes and a serious spoiler I miss it |
8k for a 93 wrx, those were the days. Think my first wrx was 14k in 1998.

Them were the days! Yes I did buy it in the end, and agree with some of the comments above, it was the most fantastic road car I've owned, and probably even that I've driven. Unfortunately I got to know the road between my house and the Lotus dealer all to well and ended up giving it back. As with rallyfan, I miss it dreadfully though, and seriously consider buying another one at least once every 3 or 4 months. Handling to die for, proper "can't go into the house without staring at it for five minutes" looks, and stunning performance. Just the reliability which let it down. |

I have driven one at MIRA on the limit so I am fully conversant with the handling etc but have no idea about what models are best or how reliable they are etc? I would be using it as a main car (mostly local stuff and a 100 mile round trip every couple of days). Anyone have any experience? The main things I would be grateful to find out are:- 1) What models are fastest / best? 2) What should I be able to get for up to 20K 3) Reliability probs, etc? Many thanks in advance, Simon As with any car, though some sort of warranty (decent warranty) would be beneficial. |
