2005 lotus elise 180HP model 0-60 in 3.3 42,500


Just know that it has no intirior carpet, the US version gets AC and a Stereo. and it feels like you are driving a race car..... not really the type of car that impresses Modern american girls.... BUt it would probably be the most fun car to drive in the US.

ive been in the lotus elise but the 140HP 2004 model its nice as **** and looks badass and yes i know it comes w/ radio and all meatl floor boards... but its nice and fast. i got quoted 8k to supercharge it up to 275hp or 180HP model goes to 312HP and it makes it faster than any other car on the road besides the mclaren and a couple more but it wil kill a ferrari 360 supercharged... but idk i love the car but its soo small..

I would say for reliability and easy upkeep, a Civic SI. About 8K in mods gives you a badass fast Civic. Plus insurance is cheaper, maintenance is cheaper.

How about insurance?? You arent even 25 yet right?
Such as huge jump. Civic to Brand new Mercedes, Bmw, etc.
What kind car do you need? Suv,sedan,Sports car.
I say upgrade to s2000+Hardtop and call it a day.

i dont see an m3 in that list =\ sigh

out of all those i would say the lotus because it would be brand new.. right? For a car in the price range you gave us, id rather have a new car then a used one... plus you chose what u get, not what others chose

I say don't waste all of your money on a car. Having something like that would be nice, but just get something cheaper for around say $25,000 and put the rest of the money towards a house. IMO

Look at a used S4. Those things are bad *** and they are not that expensive.

first of all i dont even know if your qualified to buy the cars that you have listed. you said you are only 17? so you don't have a credit line to get something, nor to purchase under your name.
wat da hell do you do?
u sell green bags or something? a civic to lotus, bmw, mercedes upgrade, and ur only17?
you have to be 16 to be legal to work in the u.s. and ur only 17. so technically you have worked for only a year. 20k in a year is shady. is your civic also paid off?


wat da hell am i thinking. that's what daddies and mommies are for.
