How much is a pre-owned Lotus Elan worth?

On AutoUncle, the cheapest Lotus Elan can be purchased for £6,999, while the most advanced model costs around £49,995. The price for a Lotus Elan depends on five primary factors: the year, engine size and power, the car's fuel economy, vehicle mileage along with the trim level of the car. As an example, a newer model with fewer miles covered, or a high-end version boasting a potent engine, often fetches a top-tier price than a car from an older model year, with higher mileage and no optional extras.

Is the Lotus Elan available with multiple fuel options?

There is only one fuel option for the Lotus Elan, which is petrol. Right now we have thirty cars for sale at an average price of £21,557. Your current driving habit is a determining factor when it comes to picking a fuel type. Is your driving primarily through city traffic or along open highways and motorways? How many miles do you rack up in an average week? Electric, plug-in hybrid and petrol work well for short trips. If you drive long distances on a daily basis, an electric car is good - especially if you can charge at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. For those who drive long distances and don't have access to charging, diesel cars can still be an option. Remember that diesel engines with high emissions are prohibited from entering cities in various countries.

Is the Lotus Elan available in multiple body variants?

The Lotus Elan exists in two different body types; cabriolet and coupe, with the cabriolet being the preferred option. A cabrio or a convertible is a fantastic way to give the driving experience a new dimension. These days, most cabrio models have excellent hoods and weather gear, making them suitable for driving year-round. It’s worth noting that convertibles tend to be heavier than normal cars due to the lack of roof, as thickener is applied underneath the car to strengthen the chassis.
