Anyone know this car and how is the price? i might pop in and see if i could trade my one in, what should i expect for a 1999 T S1 111S with 39000 miles, it has hardtop etc and is really clean.
Cheers Bob

Nice stripes.
Have you seen it in the flesh?
Not seen it about Abz but providing it has a full service history there should be no problem.

Be wary of Pitstop though.
The obviously know feck all about the Elise....power assisted steering?????

i might go in and take a look, im sure it used to sit at cammachmore. am i expecting too much for my car with £10000, i was going to trade it in for a p1 Impreza but was only offered £9000. my one is the silver S1 with charcoal stripes in aberdeen, not sure if anyones seen it.

I have seen it going about loads. Its on a private plate. S* ***, nice short number iirc.

Its got dodgy privacy glass (Removeable??), and the interior looks abit rough I thought.

Whats dodgy about that?

I like mine

Haggle hard and you might get 10k, depends how much £ the dealer has in the s2 and if you take it at screen price.

I'd be happy to cast another pair of eyes over it if you like...

Sorry

I meant dodgily fitted, i.e bubbles and peeling off, but that may have been sorted.

He had it up for 17995 to start with.

It will be the 120bhp K series in that one.

Not loving the blue brake callipers but nothing a tin of paint couldn't fix.

For comparison I paid 16.6 back in march for a similar spec 04 car, very good nick with 16K miles....thought that was a reasonable price from a dealer...interior does look a wee bitty tatty on the pics...talk em down a bit and could be a good buy...

Looking at the bigger pics, there is no way those tints (or the sunstrip for that matter) is legal.

The tints on my car are (as those who have seen them will agree) very subtle and not illegal.

Going by whatever you're wearing in that avatar, perhaps you should define subtle....

Yes.
It's a 120bhp standard S2 so it'll be slightly heavier (40kg or so) and has 20bhp or so less. It also seems slightly odd that it's an Elise S but the footwell carpets are missing, that suggests it leaks and the carpets are constantly wet
