Are you looking for a used Lotus Elise?

Are you interested in buying a used sports car? The Lotus Elise is a great pick. AutoUncle has 85 used Lotus Elises for sale in UK compiled from numerous dealership websites and online marketplaces.

What is the used car price of the Lotus Elise?

A used Lotus Elise costs between £10,799 for the cheapest variant and £46,300 for the latest and most well-equipped model on AutoUncle.

The cost of a pre-owned Lotus Elise is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include what year the car is from, engine size and performance, the car's fuel economy, how many miles the car has travelled not to mention trim level.

For instance, a more recent model with lower mileage, or a luxury edition with a robust engine, usually garners a premium price than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

Which fuel types does the Lotus Elise come with?

Petrol is the foremost fuel option for the Lotus Elise.

Your driving tendencies should play a significant role in your fuel type selection. How many miles do you typically drive each week? Are your drives mostly short trips, or do you tend to embark on longer routes?

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. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.

What body types is the Lotus Elise available in?

The Lotus Elise is available in both cabriolet and coupe body styles, with the cabriolet being the more popular choice. If you want to add a new dimension to the driving experiences, then a cabrio or a convertible is the perfect solution. Most cabrio models can be driven year-round these days, thanks to their excellent hoods and weather gear. To strengthen the chassis to make up for the lack of roof, thickener is applied underneath the car, which means that convertibles are often heavier than normal cars.
