O found a few S1 model about 100k, just wondering how much a used S2 would cost. I have a budget of about 150k. Wonder if the S2 would fall near those budget
and yes, i want the toyota VVTI engine for better parts and maintainence

Err... ya la.. you are right.. LOL..

The husband is a new fresh-grad teacher with salary about RM2000. The wife is a teacher as well with price range I believe to be RM2000 something.

That's why I said Rm4000..

Dunno if they are doing MLM though.. they never try to push anything under my throat yet.. but at night they really save a lot of money.. never ever switch on the lights except for the main bedroom. That's why I said pity them family.. no life.. huhu..


Congratz to TS.. just go for it if you really want the car...

i also know a husband n wife who is a teacher. but they own 2 BMW , a merc, and a caldina. and yeah, they doing MLM. in MLM, car is more important than a house . that why i expect ur neighbor doing MLM too

Actually teachers do make a lot of money nowadays. Remember they work only half day. During the evening or at noght, most open private classes or tuitions, they can make a lot of money by doing this. No kidding.
They also have the free time to do side business some more. Dont underestimate people's wealth by just judging from their main occupation ler. Hardwork pays off no matter what job u do.

the S2 should be outside your budget of rm150k.

The entry level S2 (new) with 1zz engine is a shade >200k
the lotus elise S2 with 2zz ge engine was launched at >rm400 then, i suppose they are rare thus "willing buyer, willing seller" comes into consideration. However all is not lost, Lotus malaysia brought in a few special model (Exige with supercharger) to be be sold in malaysia >RM350k +- (new). This may force the "earlier 2zz elise" to be sold lower to the marketplace. but its so few in the market, it will be waiting forever in the hope to spot one in the classifieds.

The possibility of seeing any S2 models (1zz) in the range of RM170-180k is a higher chance. 2zz elise S2? doubt it.

I know you are gutted knowing how & why prices seem high, again the rarity of such made the owners who know value.

however, you never know. I was once offered a lotus S1 10 years ago with only 4000km on the clock ! the owner had over 10 plus cars & the lotus is hardly driven.
Large size person & a bit not quite youthful to get in & out of the lotus.

sometimes, you might get just jet a "hailey's" shot, & these are usually snapped up quickly.

oh ok.. but i'll still to try to look for 1, if not i might just have to save some more

ppl got new account pumping posts...good thing FnF post count has been stopped
belittling ppl all around LYN...
just click ignore user to ignore any post of some ppl to avoid eye sore
darn cocky tot he knows a stranger's financial background based on just some words

Ignore that troll. He's not worth your time arguing. Have you considered other alternative like an 2nd gen Miata/MX-5?. Apparently British considered as spiritual successor of Lotus Elan.

For the time being i got my eyes on the elise lol.
I test drove a friend's and felt COMPLETELY in love with the handling OMG.
Its sooo much fun to drive in! Havent tested the miata,its kinda rare also here. I need to get my hands on one to judge for myself
Still working with the goverment hospital so im not that high on the budget.
Hey even doctors need sometime off and have fun with his car right?

I wish I could say the same but I can't fit in the Elise...

reward urself mate...jez dun run to another country lol

How u know their income about 4k ? Might be 4k per person....kikiki

Yeah..my father desperate on getting that car too..
Use to own a s1 elise..but sold it 3 year ago..
Sick of the manual operating soft top
The s2 price is about 238k if i not mistaken..
