Been awhile since I've browsed these forums but now that I finally own my dream car, I'll be on more often. Attached should be a pic of mine with my mom trying to see out of it!

http://www.databurstpc.com/dsm/lotussagapage.html for the story http://www.databurstpc.com/dsm for the home page http://www.databurstpc.com/dsm/lotus.html for the Lotus page You will find most of the details there. Basically I had to drive from NJ to VA for the car, but it was absolutely worth it. It is a 1994 Esprit S4. I paid $29000 for her. She had 54,000 miles and has all of the major maintenance done - clutch, timing belt, HG, tires, front brakes, chargecooler pump, etc. The PO had put close to $11000 in parts and labor into the car over the last year. He bought it a year ago with some problems at a cheap price and addressed them all (not so cheap), but unfortunately had to sell due to a divorce. At first the extent of the maintenance he had to do worried me some, but once I saw the car and did my complete check, all my worries went away. Car runs like a champ and has no real issues. Only thing it needs now is the temp control cable replaced (which I now have so I just have to set time aside to put it in) and get the AC recharged. I changed the rear brakes, have the SS clutch line to put on and just installed the high TQ chip. Car is just amazing. I still cannot believe I own my dream car.

Re: Does nobody like the Lotus Esprit?
I have a '98 v8 Turbo which I purchased this spring. I have always loved the car, but I NEVER see them here in Philly and have never driven one. I bought mine from a doctor in TX sight unseen. I wasn't sure what to expect. It's black with black powder coated wheels and it looks MEAN. I mean it literally looks like an angry car, a very manly, angry car. I couldn't be happier with it. It is amazing to drive and no one else in Philly has one, that I've seen around. 911's are fun, but this car is insane. I briefly had a yellow 348 TS Ferrari this summer for about 4 weeks and it gets more looks than the Esprit, but it feels slow when I get in it after the Lotus. I think that for the money, the power/performance/exotic-ness can't be beat for a V8 Esprit.

Re: Does nobody like the Lotus Esprit?
Holy necro thread Batman!
Have an '89 and a 2003. Yeah, Esprits are rare on the ground in these parts too. Have never seen another one driving down the road since I've had mine-- about 7 years now. Except for Thailand--- Hahaha! Last edited by Black Lotus; 12-26-2013 at 11:54 AM. |
