Haha... I can't really afford it right now, but if I had a place to put it I'd make myself afford it. I already have nowhere to put my two cars plus Dustin has two cars. But for $20k with low mileage like that... I'm thinking... Dustin will talk me out of it though... frown.gif

Jen, I would say $40k is too much. They go for about that brand new. The red one I put the pic of above is an 05 with about 38k miles (last time I saw it, probably in the 40k's now) and belongs to the Classic Car Club in Manhattan. They basically let rich people borrow fancy cars for a few days. I know two of the guys that work there, they may trade it in for an Exige sometime and I'm sure they'd sell that one to me for somewhere around trade in value from the Lotus dealer. It's already been through 2 clutches. The first two clutches were installed at the Lotus dealer and cost them somewhere around $2k. I helped them install the third and it pretty much cost them parts only. It's also been in a couple minor accidents, but I tend to fall in love with things I put a lot of work into so I'm ok with it and I actually kinda fell in love with that one.
