Sure, doing it everyday might get annoying, but as a weekend toy it's not a problem. I know all the downsides to the Elise. Crappy dealer network, weak on HP, uncomfortable, etc. But I'm looking for something different on weekends. I want an experience when I don't have the family in the car. And I won't lie, the exoticness and coolness of such a car is a very big attraction to me. I've seen exactly two Elises ever. I just need to drive it and see if I like it. The safe choice is a 986S, and the cheap choice is an S2K. |

I know where you can find a really really nice low-mile 986S. Factory sport suspension, GT3 front sway bar, full leather interior, brand new top with glass window and defroster...

Anyhow, if I end up liking the 986S best, I would definitely want to buy your car. But that won't happen until this Fall at the earliest (and likely late next Winter). |

Late September-January could be perfect timing.

Clyde and I need the car through September.
Did I mention it has Litronics (factory Xenons) now too? |
