My S replacement
I ended up stumbling on a couple of similar steamin' deals on these. So I e-mailed the two sellers, and price war ensued. I wound up with this car and it is AMAZING. Took the train from Fullerton to San Diego this weekend to pick it up. 2 owners, dealer serviced, clean title, no accidents, 21k miles. I am sure it will hold its value (if not appreciate after the recession). It has the Touring Package and Starshield (no track pack). I got 31 mpg mixed driving -- one reason I like it a lot more than the S is that I can completely flog it and still get 25-27 mpg. It is also much more glued to the road. I like the lack of power steering. And it scoooots

What cracks me up about this car is it makes you see how the S2000 really does have a lot of nice features in it. Everyone looks at the S2000 like it's this bare bones car. Once you sit in a Lotus you really understand what that statement means.

Now that is a sports car for 2010+
We need more cars like these. NOT 500hp 4000 pound 14mpg cars brought back from the dead.

Very nice. Really like the color. How's the tranny in those?
The only thing I hate about the Elise/Exige.
