Lotus Esprit In California Need Parts

[MAZGTS]

I'm planning on purchasing an Esprit soon, probably an S4 if possible. Does anyone have a lead to where I can get parts for the car? I plan on having to go through suspension early on and maybe a clutch because LA driving is pretty bad, even when on my days off. How reliable is that 4cyl from what you guys experience? Any help would be appreciated.

For parts call Jeff at JAE [phone] and tell him that Karl from the Espri Fact File sent you.

Cheers,

I drive mine daily as do a lot of Esprit owners. The 4 pot is generally very reliable, the more its used the better it gets. Read previous posts on this.
There are issues, the exhaust manifold threw some bits of gasket down the pipe and blew my turbo, the 2nd gear synchro needed replacing (my driving really did that) and my speedo doesn't work. Other than those all that will keep the car off the road is someone reversing into me (as happened the other day) or a garage padlock...
