Don't bother it's not even worth that much, a very good friend of mind doe's crash repair's on Lotus and he wouldn't even look at that, mark my word's that's going to cost at least 5k to repair so it's already over what the car is worth, you try and get £8500 for a Cat D

what about this one??????

£9500 for a car that isn't roadworthy ? You would be mad!

Even if it had been repaired properly he would be lucky to get much over £10/£11 for it

[scoobytyper26]

i've worked out including labour it will cost £1500 to get roadworthy, surely it will sell then for 14k???

in roadworthy nick, according to parkers its worth 15k

Parkers (chortle) your not really up to date on Elise prices are you ? Have a look in PH/SELOC classifieds what similar cars are actually going for.

If I was you I'd hook up with Junks on SELOC for advice as he does a lot of cat C/D work.

That says it all. If the chassis is fecked then it's a gonner. You can't weld on another bit.

I love this bit the best

You've got to be having a laugh. It's already cat C which will knock at least 25% off it's value, then it's got no history, repaired and serviced by an amateur, and has damaged suspension (which if it's buggered the mountings on the tub means it's shot).

Even if it was mint it'd only be worth 12-13k max. The interior and exterior colour combo is very niche and you'd be lucky to find someone who likes it.
