Too good to be true?

V8 Esprit, 45k on the clock for just south of for 13k.

What's the catch?

I thought you could only get leggy S4's for that kind of money!

Planning on getting an Esprit next year some time and was expecting to pay more like 15k minimum for a good V8 with a fair bit of haggling...

Indeed, it is one of the older V8's and if it hasn't had the common issues sorted or has a patchy service history then any savings could quickly be blown by getting her 'right'.

Still it does sound promising - "Very Extensive history, very clean example inside and out, 2500 Recently spent". Nice colour too.

All my cash is tied up with a house purchase at the moment, next year I will start to look seriously and hopefully befriend a few of the Lotus club members down this way to help me out choosing the right one!

Was a yellow one I think.

Saw the add for the V8 with the blown engine, sounds like some one bagged a bargain if that's all that was wrong.

Can't see anyone letting a good V8 with service history going for less than 15k.
