Let me rephrase lol. I will post the individual items & costs later, see if I was ripped off. I didn't do a whole lot of research, but I was dead cert on Brand New, dead cert on the colour and dead cert on both options packs.

Edit: And I bought from MMC Edinburgh.

... feck!! That is a LOT of money for an Elise !!

I am guessing 28 for car
2 for touring pack
2 for super t.p.
1.2 for hard top
.8 for air con

& most of the packs are discounted on current Lotus offers?

- struggling to get to 35/36 ?????

It will be interesting to see how you can add the thick end of £8K in two option packs.... :shock:

36k Elise :shock: That must be with the "Interior in carbon leather and encrusted with diamonds" option :D

I don't think most dealers have been shifting Elises, or Exiges for that matter, for anything near list for quite a long time now, even for cars built to order. Friend of mine bought a new Exige S recently from a dealer down south and got air con, metallic paint and the sport pack thrown in for the base price without even having to haggle too much, although that was for a car already sitting in the showroom and he wasn't too fussed about colour.

/thinking cap on

S2 shed (if its the shape you like... not my cup of tea but there we go): 13 -£15,000

K20A Honda Install: £10,000
Supercharger: £2k

Total: £27,000

else, buy a car already converted for up to £25k

... that leaves £9-£11k for your first year's insurance, might just cover it :lol:
