Selling one of my rides to buy a LOTUS! Im selling my 2003 s10 pickup to buy an 1984 Lotus Esprit turbo. For those of you who have never seen one, it’s a mid engine rear drive 2 seater powered by a 2.2L turbo 4 cylinder w/ double 2 barrel carbs. The body looks a lot like an Lamborghini Countach, minus the vertical doors and spoiler. The problem is that I have to sell my s10 first and the guy is only going to hold on to the car for 2 weeks. So if any of you are or know some who would be interested in a s10 pickup heres a link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW The reserve is set at $11,500 wich is what I owe the bank.
Assuming that I sell my s10 in time Ill have some pics up of the Lotus up soon. Although its not a very fast car (14’s, 138 mph top speed) it is one of the best handling cars Iv’e ever driven.

i own the wings west s10 and have tons of money invested. its a 01 and lately ive been thinking about selling too. but i have done some searching and realistically the truck looses value quickly. they are a dime a dozen and can be had fo much cheaper than you have it listed for. it is possible to get what your asking but in 2 weeks time it might be rough. good luck selling it though and if you want to get some s10 owners to take a look at it then go to www.s10forum.com and post it in the for sale section. good luck
