yeah. i heard all of this alot. not the dd car. but then again i got a really good deal for the car right now. I got a really sweet deal for a light used exige.. i am not tall only 5'7 and i dont have anyone except a girl friend. I dont like to take anyone in my car except my baby girl so it work out fine for me. As for scraping and road incident, i dont really mind because i will just leave it the way it is if anything happen to it. i am living really close to junkyard areas. i can just pick up parts from wreck yard and fix it for cheap. i am not worry about the damn 10k tires change!!! i was just wondering if there is a way around it?? anyone know?

Yeah, you can always get cheaper tires instead of the recommended Advans that they have.

you obviously havent been to sd junkyards. i found like 3 wreck exige here man... they are rare but many wrecked car are tow to either sd or Canada i believe.

anyways, i can always get the part of lotus forum.


i thought about cheap tires but i am afraid that it might blow and cause more lots of damages.

That's really low miles for an 06! Hope he was doing oil changes every 6 months or so even if he wasn't driving it! lol

Well at the very least buy it and resell it, because there are 06 Exiges on Autotrader with that mileage for $37k+.

You can always get cheaper tires with stiff sidewalls.

A lot of people do seem to wreck their Lotus', but chances are if its in a junk yard, your not going to be able to use the front or rear clip.

I DD'ed three different S2000's and got tired of it. The s2k feels a lot bigger while your getting into the car. With the Exige/Elise it's a freakin work out getting in and out.
