I am selling my 06 Lotus Exige with 20,871 miles as of today. Car is finished in Solar Yellow. 


Options and extras include Lotus Track Pack, Traction Control, Lotus Sport ECU, Lotus Stage II exhaust, Personal F1 Alcantara steering wheel & quick-release hub kit, Pagid Brake Pads, Sector 111 lightweight battery kit & mount, Schroth 5-Point harness, Sector 111 Roll Bar, Sector 111 fire extinguisher, Sector 111 front & rear tow hooks, Mesh Grille set, back-up camera wired to JCV Kameleon Head Unit, Prem. Audio Pack, and Factory Starshield. Car has new Yokohama AO48 LTS tyres (in last 1,000 miles) along with a full service. 

Have extensive receipts since vehicle production. Car was originally sold in Michigan at Auto Europe. Afterwards it lived in Mankato, Minnesota--where I found it. The car was in for service with the original owner, parked up to a wall, and was backed into by a porter. Both front and rear clams had cracked. Cost of labour to replace both fiberglass clams was huge. As a result it received a salvaged title. However, both front and rear clams and components latch to them were replaced at Auto Europe with new factory painted Lotus clams. It was a bodywork issue exclusively; the aluminum was unaffected. I have all receipts. The car is essentially new underneath with such low mileage. Mechanically it is beautiful. Drives perfectly and has never given me an issue. This is the ultimate canyon car. 

Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements. Car is in Pasadena, CA (I'm from ND originally if you're wondering about the plates). A $500 deposit is due 24 hours after the auction's close. Contact me if you have any questions. Happy to send pictures of anything else you might want. Thanks and best of luck bidding!

Lotus slated to stop selling Evora in US

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

It's been three years now since Lotus stopped selling the Elise and Exige in North America, leaving the Evora as its only model available Stateside. But according to the latest from Car and Driver, even that model is on its way out.
The problem reportedly comes down to air bags. Lotus was granted a temporary exemption from fitting the latest-generation smart airbags to the Evora, but that exemption is set to expire at the end of the year. And once it does, Lotus apparently has no intention of developing and fitting the proper equipment to allow it to continue selling the Evora in the United States.
Once the Evora is gone from our market, Lotus will be reduced to selling only track-bound versions of the Elise and Exige in the US, so the prospect of actually buying a new Lotus and driving off the dealer lot will vanish into thin air.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.

Lotus relocating US headquarters to Michigan

Thu, Jun 25 2015

Lotus is planning a renewed push into the North American market. It's got the new Evora 400 coming to America in December, and it's expanding its dealer network as well. And it'll orchestrate it all from its new US headquarters in Ann Arbor, MI. The move will see the main office of Lotus Cars USA leave its current base in Lawrenceville, GA, to move in together with Lotus Engineering in Ann Arbor, putting both operations under one larger roof. The transition is earmarked to be completed by the end of next month. But that's not all. Lotus has also announced that it is expanding its dealer network across North America. The first push will see four new dealerships opening across the United States and Canada, with a pair of new showrooms in California (West Covina and Thermal), another in the car-collector mecca of Scottsdale, AZ, and a new Canadian location in Calgary, Alberta. That'll bring the showroom count up to 47 locations in North America, with more franchises planned for the near future as well. The new and improved Lotus Evora 400 is slated to arrive at US and Canadian dealers starting in December. It packs a number of upgrades over the Evora S, including more power, less weight, new bodywork, and carbon-ceramic brakes. The result is a 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds, a top speed quoted at 186 miles per hour, and Hethel test track lap time clocked at six seconds faster than its predecessor. Pricing starts at $89,900.

Inc, in Ann Arbor, MI to support growth - First deliveries of New Lotus Evora 400 in USA and Canada in December 2015 - Expansion of the Lotus dealer network The introduction of the Lotus Evora 400, as a 2017 North American Model Year, marks the start of a fresh period in Lotus' presence in this vital market. The previous model Evora already received positive acclaim from media, customers and dealers alike and reaffirmed Lotus as the maker of some of the finest, purest, most lightweight and most efficient sports cars sold today. Jean-Marc Gales, Chief Executive Officer, Group Lotus plc, explains: "The Lotus Evora 400 combines high performance with the legendary Lotus benchmark handling. It is lighter, more efficient and dynamically better than ever.
