Realistic Mk2 values in three years?

[ahagerty]

Hi guys

I know its impossible to predict but what do you think an Elise Mk2, Sports Tourer, 20K miles would be worth in three years time ( private and trade sale ).

Cheers

I think in Autocar the Elise is listed as holding 54% of the purchase price after 3 years/30,000 miles. Which is pretty good!

What about cars fitted with a turbo charger from Turbo Technics?
This car has been praised by everybody in the press; are they likely to sell better than standard cars in the coming years?

I doubt it... any options on a car really don't count that much towards the second hand value. In fact it might detract from the desirability of the car, the TT conversion is not Lotus approved and may cause problems later when trying to sell it...

Saying that I wouldn't mind a bit of a power hike in mine....
