Used elise purchase chassis picture advice

[ellesmereFNC]

Hi All

I'm an ex TVR owner and have decided to take the plunge and buy a Lotus S1 elise. i've read some horror stories regarding corrosion in the rear suspension and chassis being a car killer in terms of rectifying it.

I have some pictures of the underside of the car i'm thinking of...is this level of corrosion normal on a 99 Elise?











Hopefully its all normal and i can look forward to miles of smiles.

cheers in advance.

James
