I've driven a GLA45 AMG, engine is amazing but there are cheaper than liked materials inside

Same drivetrain and chassis but much more practical with the hatchback. Also it’s only looks good fully optioned. Full option aero package with big brakes, and full carbon interior with shell bucket seats

I remember in 2000 a salesperson at Burrard told me that I should trade in my GSR and "upgrade" on this one LOL

Have always wanted an Esprit, I prefer the Giugiaro design but the Thomson refresh (like this one) of the Stevens design would be welcome in my garage. I wonder what's going on with the carpets in the drivers footwell?

Lotus Esprit, style wise, is one of my all-time favourite cars... but my best friend actually owned one of these V8 ones for a couple years and they're an absolute nightmare maintenance and fragility wise. I don't think he misses it much in lieu of his 911 Turbo he has now besides the je ne sais quoi provided by owning a car nobody else has.
I wouldn't even want to imagine what upkeep this one hasn't had done if it's on the repo site.

How does a 17 year old Espirit end up getting repo'd though...?
Must've been a hell of a loan.

Good buy if that is the real car and it is actually a GSR and not just a base integra with GSR wheels. Auto kind of ruins the car tho but w/e

None of that stuff matters if you're just buying it to make a full size race car bed

that series of Esprit looks cheap to me
i can't unsee the Corolla taillights
at least the 300ZX headlamps on the Diablo doesn't make it look cheap because the body is drastically wider and lower...the boxy rear of the lotus is much more similar to the Toyota than it is on the Lambo-Nissan example
