Elise buying advice

[Cuzza]

Hi,

I need some advice about buying a used Elise

I have about 14 to 15k which seems to be the bottom end of the market - will that get me something decent?

This will be my first 'proper' sportscar - is this a good place to start or are they diffiult to drive?

Dealer or private? - could do without buying a duff one

Finally, the car will have to spend at least the summer outside as mygarage is occupied by a 'project' - apart from roof leaks, is this likely to be a problem??

Sorry, lots of questions there but any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Guys,

Thanks for the advice, I tested one on Saturday and it was fantastic. All I need is to find one in new aluminium with red leather somewhere near Southampton!

When I find one is there anyone around here who could do an inspection for me (preferably not the AA or RAC)??

Thanks again.
