Used Lotus Elise for sale near Durham, NC

If you want an everyday driver, with all the comforts a modern car can provide, then no.. this is not your car. If you want exhilaration and an ear to ear grin each time you take this car through a mountain pass or a glance from a sexy guy or gal each time you pass, then yes.. this is your car. It's bucket seats offer very little in terms of cushioning, the setup is stiff, and the steering is not powered. But for those who crave a tight connection with the road and a go-cart feeling like no other car you've ever driven, then the Lotus Elise simply can't be beat. Once driven, it's clear, Lotus has created a car for the car enthusiast who prefers the sound of the engine over the radio, performance over creature comforts, and a feeling you'll always reach for every time you push the ignition button. This is a drivers car, not a pampered car.

The location and facility are not your latest state of the art facility, but Mike and Ed are long time car business pros who look for high end quality cars. My experience was overall very positive and the car was just as good as advertised. There was no haggle on price. The trade in value and asking price were both fair. I got a great 2015 BMW with low miles and will certainly be happy to make another deal with Pro Auto in the future.

The Lotus Elise is a true sports car and that is all the company makes. This car is surprisingly comfortable even for tall drivers. Handling and acceleration are great for road or track and the unique styling of the Elise will set you apart from all the others.

There is a reason these cars have had such low percentages of depreciation. A Toyota drivetrain for reliability along with stunning good looks and the kind of performance typically reserved for cars with way many more zeros attached to the price tag. The only price to pay is that the car has spartan creature comforts, but if that is the most important thing to you, let's be honest, this shouldn't be on the radar for you. Bang for buck, can't beat it with a Lotus Elise.

This car is definitely not the most comfortable or practical car, so if you are looking to buy that you need to undersatand you will have to make some compromise. It is an exotic car and there are always people looking at it and you and often I found myself talking to complete strangers about it. Overall I enjoyed my experience with the care but as I said it isn?t perfect especially for daily commutes.

Amazing experience. I was treated with the up most respect and care. I would definitely recommend this place to my colleagues. The entertainment and the hospitality was spectacular.

-This is one classy car!! street legal but handles like a go-cart! -Not really meant to be a daily driver but I do use it that way. -Gets a lot of looks and compliments. -Well priced, excellent value fot the money.

Super knowledgable staff and definitely will be buying more cars from them in the future.

The car is exiting and thrilling. The value of the car holds very well. It is daily derivable and very reliable. This is by far the most fun car for the money.

My service representative Fey was great and gave me the best answers I could have asked for.

I'd give it five stars if it had a little more seat comfort. Might have to look into some padded covers. This car is not for everyone, just folks who REALLY love to drive.

I didn't buy anything from them but they seem to be and excellent dealership.

2011 was the last model year for the Elise in the US market. Per official Lotus' Archives there were only 77 Elises sold in the US that year. This car is beautiful and a head turner. It is faster than most people think. The Toyota Engine is just the shell and has been modified and tuned by Lotus engineers so it is not a Celica's motor by any means. 1.8 liter and 0-60 in 4.8 sec. It is the only street legal race car. The handling is the best of any exotic/sports car. No Ferrari or Lamborghini can beat this little car in any twisty road. Most likely collectible since they will never bring it back to America. Get yourself one if you can!

Ivan Sanchez was my salesman for my third Subaru and fourth in my family at Victory. From the moment I stepped in the showroom until the time I drove away in a brand new Subaru Forester, the experience was pleasant and quick. Ivan was knowledgeable about the Forester and what he was selling, I just asked for the right color and features and they brough my car to me right away that 1 st day. Props should be given to Ivan's managers Bilal and Chris Sisco for closing the deal on my forester. Great bunch of guys and gals that work at Victory Subaru.

IT'S $30,000+++ CAR FOREVER so maybe its a good investment in someway. love the way it handles TOYOTA reliability, gets attention every where you go. not so hard and expensive to insure, and if your wondering what my age is I'm mid 20's. over all great fantastic Exotic car/Sports car.

A great experience. Very good for a person who is nervous about buying a car

This car is the best bang for your buck... It drives like a car 2-5 times the price; Handles Great; Accelerates quickly... It even gets great gas mileage. Small and easy to maneuver; Just a great all around sports car!!

Just a quick note of thanks. Every time I shift through the 6 speeds or exit a corner I have a greater sense of appreciation for this Porsche. You spent a considerable amount of time and were very patient with me during the buying process. I realize it was a small sale for Motorcar Classics but I felt as if I were buying a Carrera GT from you. There were no surprises, the delivery you arranged was smooth and I just love this car!

Ron is the best at customer service. He explains all the changes needed and the prices. I am never surprised at my service fee. Please keep Ron!!

It's this simple...if you love cars, you simply need to own one of these at least once in your life. This is a small exotic with remarkable handling characteristics, plenty of power even in its base form, and a connection to the road like nothing else. Mine's been trouble free except for minor interior noises, but once you hit your first apex, who cares. Best part is if you find a used, clean car, you can own one for a few years for next to nothing providing you're easy on the miles.

Everyone was very helpful. Jimmy and Allison were very good, called me back on timely fashion! Thanks to the whole crew . Ps . For a cross country transportation could not ask for much more. Thanks joe p

Very few cars on the road can back up exotic good looks. The Elise does. Rewards any real driver with anticipating your next move. Not for the daily driver crowd, but perfect for the enthusiast who wants to reconnect with the road. And connect with the road you will. No imperfections go without notice, but they don't upset your drive. The Elise just lets you know they're there and stays planted. At the track, everyone wants to give it a go and feel the Lotus magic. As Colin Chapman said, this is a car to which they "add(ed) lightness". Not the fastest car out there, but always one of the quickest at the end of the lap. If you want pure exhilaration, look no further. If you want to be coddled, don't even think about the Elise. And, icing on the cake, it's affordable to buy and CHEAPER to maintain than anything else even close to this level of performance.

They were very responsive and answered all my questions promptly and honestly. I was very impressed

All cars were super clean and everyone in there was nice and helpfull. 10/10

Amazing amazing amazing staff they try to go above and beyond for you. Brian and Jen what can but thank you so much for everything you did to get me in my new car.. you guys go above and beyond for your customers. You guys are the best… I will be referring any of my friends and family to come and see you for vehicles.

I have owned the 2005 version of this car, which differs only slightly from the current versions for 2 years now. It's not a muscle car, and if you want to drag race there are faster cars for cheaper. What this car excels at is cornering. Horsepower isn't everything. The first time I tracked this car I had no trouble keeping up with a driver in a much higher HP mustang, who also had a lot more experience than me. He would pull away some on the straights, but by the end of each corner I'd be almost filling his rear view mirror. Hp is not everything. Also note that the Elise is class champion or 2nd place at the nationals in almost every autocross class where it is legal to run an elise (SSM being the major exception, with nobody running an fully prepared elise there). These cars are fast and corner like they are on rails if you know how to drive one. They do require a different driving style than muscle cars. Never had any reliability problems even with auto crossing the car regularly for 2 summers. Also there are several good sources for performance upgrades to these cars including CF parts, big brake kits, and supercharging (but I'm not supposed to mention vendors here).

I’ve been waiting to buy a Blazer for 8 years, and I am so excited about my purchase. We could not of had a better experience with John Elway Chevrolet. Daniel was the sales rep that helped us and he knew what vehicle was for me even before I did! We test drove a few vehicles, and Daniel was great about giving us space to discuss the options while still being available to answer any questions we had. I never felt overwhelmed with information. Tony helped us in the finance department and with this being my first vehicle purchase I was nervous I wouldn’t understand everything. However, he truly took time out of his evening to explain each detail / all of our options as far as warranty to make sure we understood everything we were signing and that we were satisfied with our decisions that worked within our budget. I truly can’t speak more highly of Daniel & Tony. My husband wants a Silverado and when that time comes we will definitely be coming back to work with them. Thank you again for my new ride!!
