PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THESE MINOR FLAWS! I WAS DEBATING ON HOW TO LIST THIS CAR....EITHER FIX ANY NOTABLE MECHANICAL FLAWS, AND ASK MARKET VALUE, OR LIST IT HOW I GOT IT, AND LET SOMEONE WHO IS A LITTLE MECHANICAL(OR HAS A REASONABLE MECHANIC) FIX A FEW THING AND SAVE A TON!! FROM DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ABOUT THESE CARS, I'M FINDING OUT THAT THESE THINGS THAT NEED ATTENTION, ARE VERY COMMON TO LOTUS ESPRIT V8'S. ALSO I'VE DONE SOME HUNTING, AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE A SOURCE FOR A GREAT LOTUS MECHANIC IN DALLAS WHO WANTS TO WORK ON THESE!! THEREFORE, I'M GOING TO THROW IT OUT THERE CHEAP AND DISCLOSE WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THIS LITTLE HIDDEN EXOTIC..... * I WOULD DO A CAM BELT SERVICE TO BE CERTAIN ABOUT THE FACT IT HAS BEEN DONE. THE ONLY OTHER RECORD I HAD FOR ONE WAS IN 2003. * THE PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW WON'T GO DOWN * THE PASSENGER-SIDE HEADLAMP ONLY GOES UP INTERMITTENTLY * THE SPEEDOMETER GOES UP INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY, MAINLY WHEN IT IS COLD(FINE WHEN WARMED UP?), AND ALMOST MIRRORS THE TACH, LIKE IT COULD BE A GROUND ISSUE? IT IS ALSO ADDING MILES AS IT GOES UP WHILE SITTING STILL, SO IT PROBABLY HAS SLIGHTLY LOWER MILES THAN REGISTERED!! ** DON'T GET ME WRONG, THIS CAR IS VERY NICE AND RUNS DOWN THE ROAD GREAT AND SHIFTS GREAT, WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES, AND LEAKS NOTHING ON THE GROUND!! A/C BLOWS COLD!! MOST DEALERS WOULD SAY NOTHING ABOUT THIS LITTLE ISSUES, BUT THT IS NOT HOW I CHOOSE TO DO BUSINESS... Thank you for visiting another SUPER-RARE SPORTSCAR offered by L A Motorcars!

Where does L A Motorcars get its cars? L A Motorcars gets its pre-owned inventory from a variety of sources. Our cars are almost always franchise dealership trade-ins and/or lease returns. We have relationships with over 100 dealerships and brokers and buy only the highest quality preowned cars. A typical scenario is one in which a dealer obtains a car through a trade-in and that dealer is neither a specialist or is not allowed to sell a particular make of car. They call us, (we are not a local competitor), and we purchase the vehicle from them and make the car available online to a national market. Can I have the car mechanically inspected? It is our absolute mission for you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase. L A Motorcars allows full pre-buy inspection of all its vehicles from any inspection service you desire. For your convenience, L A Motorcars recommends the following automotive inspection firm: The Auto Critic 972-386-8388. This company offers thorough and honest inspections. You can contact them directly to schedule an inspection. We also recommend and do offer extended warranties. What can I expect from my purchase? You can expect great service, a great price and an impeccable car. We aim to describe the car as accurately as possible. We do offer only pre-owned vehicles and by definition our vehicles are not brand new. Most of our offerings are equal to first line vehicles sold in reputable franchised dealerships across the country. In fact, many of these dealers buy our inventory only to turn around and sell it at much higher prices. It is important when buying a used vehicle to understand that it is not brand new - it has been driven a certain number of miles. I am out-of-town, how will I get the car? L A Motorcars uses a fully bonded and insured transportation service that will deliver the vehicle to your door. The transport usually takes about 10 days and costs around $750 depending on your location. Vehicle delivery usually take between 1 and 2 weeks. We also welcome you to come to us. Many customers book a flight into Dallas Love Field or DFW Airport. Should you choose this option, we'll be glad to pick you up from the airport. Terms and Conditions
