Hi

I am now looking at a 111s in Wales, and wanted to know what the consensus was with regards to getting the car checked before commiting my hard earned....

I have read several buyers guides mentioning that any damage to the tub will be a very costly thing indeed, and can only be seen when ramped up and then measured with proper alignment equipment at lotus specialist or dealer...

does anyone know of a mobile specialist who can do this, or does it have to be taken to a specialist?

is there any other aspects that would need looking at?

thanks

Thanks for the info! I think the issue is the distance form the North Wales Lotus, getting it there....don't think the owner has time to spend the afternoon with me taking if for the inspection, and it's too far for them to come out and would charge a packet to do so....coupled with the fact i am 260 miles from the seller, makes this a tricky situation...might have to let it go, and wait for the next S2 Elise or Exige
