I quite like the elise but have you seen the resale values. If you look at them being about the same price new as a 4/4 then look at the prices for say a 2000 4/4 against a 2000 elise !!
A good point, should you be tempted to go over to the dark side!
(Wish Lotus could overcome its problems and get its sales up)
You know it makes sense!
