2005 Lotus Elise

The Lotus Elise when debuted in 2005 was instantly a very popular car that was demanding a large premium at dealers across the USA. This highly anticipated vehicle offered so much for the driver that very few cars could duplicate. F1 styling and handling with proven and reliable Toyota powertrain. These cars could handle any corner with ease and the high revving 4cyl came to life once you got the RPM around the 5-6k range.

We are super proud to bring to market this very well cared for and nicely featured 2005 Lotus Elise for your consideration. The car was sold new out of Midrivers Lotus out of St Peters Missouri and remained in the same ownership till we acquired the vehicle from the original owner. The car is a joy to drive and experience as you just cannot duplicate the overall aspect of what this car offers. When you crawl into the car you feel as if you just went back in time to your child hood go cart days. You sit just off the ground and the cockpit is tight but comfortable and all needed buttons, switches or gauges are very easy to use. Once you fire the engine up with the push button the car comes to life and the true joy is to find any corner and hit the apex and feel the rush. Once you get the RPMs above 5,500 the real excitement happens and the car brings on a whole different aspect of fun factor.
