[DML] Re: 1997 Lotus Esprit V8 For Sale

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a really low price for a V-8 until you read the description. The motor was just rebuilt but it leaks, doesn't idle right and is throwing codes. It can cost a LOT to fix. As expensive as you may think Deloreans are, Lotus's are a whole nother level. This car is not for the timid or mechanically challenged owner. You could wind up sinking $10K into the motor easily to get it right. At that you would be in the neighborhood of what a '97 V-8 is worth in good condition. Better to buy one in good running condtion then to buy one like this and not know what you will have to spend to make it right.
