phat ride 1

Sweet ride man. I wouldn't put too much faith into this site for selling an exotic like this. Put up a civic HB and you will sell. GL tho!

LoL, well, I have been on this board for quite some time now and there are definitely those with the means to acquire something that cost more than a Civic. I started off here with a '99 Integra, then I moved on to a '03 G35c, and I drive the Elise. I'm living proof that if you set your sights on something and work hard at it, almost anything is possible. Though, if no one wants it, I'll just use it as a commuter to work and use the wife's car when we need to go out with the baby...

Thanks for the comments guys... :thumbsup:

Weekend bump!

Still lots of time to enjoy the sunny weather...

I was an interested buyer until I broke it down.

If I get this right, the current buyout for your car today is CDN 67 420.00. Saying you want 13 000.00 back. Comparing with the quote I have in hand from Weissach I can buy a brand new Elise with change or I can buy a used modded/raced Elise for more. I might as well wait for you to give up your lease from Weissach and buy it from Weissach for a large fraction of the cost.

First of all, the buyout is around $50k+$13kdown=$63k. I have checked Weissachs inventory and they do not have any 2007 models in stock with my options so whatever your quote was, there is no way that you could get it for under $63k for the same car, period. An Elise with my options and without any of my aftermarket addons would run you closer to $70k.

Secondly, If no one wants to take the lease over, then I will just keep it as my commuter, its not really a big deal to me. There would be no reason that I would simply just give up the lease so dont hold your breath.

Thirdly, if you have something you want to discuss or have a comment, why dont you send me a PM and we can talk about it there instead of posting ur garbage in my post.

I like your style DC Sports. Well said. Good luck with the sale!

want to part out the front splitter?

No, sorry, as I will be keeping it if no one takes it over...

that's a sweet car.

hope you can get someone to take over your lease.

i'm too young and too broke to be driving such an exotic car. i'll dream for a bit :)

free bump!

Ttt .

would one but i don't think i cant fit in one

LoL, yeah, its not the best fit for everyone but I'm about 6' and 175lbs and I fit comfortably in it. Kai, the salesperson at Weissach is about 6'2"-6'3" and he squeezes into it as well, haha...

Still available to be taken over, I have lowered the amount I would like back from the down payment and have paid off another 5 payments. That's about $8k off the price and I just did the last tune-up/oil-change last week, next change is not needed until March '09. Driven less than 10,000km's in 16 months!!! Brakes and tires are at 90-95% left.

wow, nice car, any other pics?

Nice Elise!!! Free Bump for a future Father =)
