WANT TO TRADE: My 2005 Lotus Elise for your R230 SL55 or SL600 (San Diego)
---- WANT TO SELL OR TRADE for R230 SL55/SL600 -----
2005 Lotus Elise
Silver/Red interior
56,606 miles
6 speed manual
Clean title
Clean auto check report with no accidents
$29,500.00 or best offer (Or Trade for SL55/SL600)
Up for sale is my 2005 Lotus Elise. This may be the most fun car I’ve ever driven. Sometimes when driving, I feel like I’m behind the wheel of a go-cart that I stole out of an indoor karting track. Other times the clink of the shifter, open roof, and roar of the engine behind my head reminds me that the car is an exotic ALMOST as much fun as a Ferrari.
Overall, the car is in great shape. The title is clean and in my hands. The autocheck report is also clean and reports no accidents. There are no major defects anywhere. The BIGGEST issues are:
1. A quarter sized ship on the lower front bumper/clam.
2. Curb rash on all 4 wheels (hard to find a car without curb rash on the rims)
3. Leather seats are showing some wear, but are still in good condition (7.5/10)
I recently had the oil changed and headlight bulb replaced. Car needs nothing except for it’s new home.
I’m looking to trade this car for a SL55 or SL600 that will qualify for an extended warranty.
I REALIZE that the retail market value of my car is around $29,000.00. I also realize that the retail value of an SL55/SL600 with similar mileage is $30,000-$35,000.00. However, if an SL owner is thinking of selling their car to free up funds to buy an exotic, or weekend toy, or track car, then PERHAPS the trade would benefit BOTH of us.
I’m open to negotiations with R230 SL owners. Other options may be considered (if you blow me away).
My name is Eric. My phone number is 602 570 7207. I’m located in San Diego near La Jolla (92037)

Just took the Lotus in to the dealer for the oil line recall.
Car got a clean bill of health from them as well as the brand new oil cooler lines.
Willing to entertain trades. May even consider other AMG cars.
