Looking for information on a used Lotus Elite?

Are you thinking of getting a pre-owned sports car? Then the Lotus Elite is a good decision. On AutoUncle, you can find 2 used Lotus Elites for sale in the UK compiled from different dealership websites and online marketplaces.

What is the price range for a used Lotus Elite?

Currently, the prices for a pre-owned Lotus Elite start at £64,750 and go up to £79,950.

The cost of a pre-owned Lotus Elite is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include the year of manufacturing, engine size and performance, the car's fuel efficiency, how many miles the car has travelled and trim level.

For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than a car from an older model year, with higher mileage and no optional extras.

What fuel types are available for the Lotus Elite?

The sole fuel type for the Lotus Elite is petrol. There are currently two cars available at an average price of £72,350.

In order to choose the right fuel type, you need to ask yourself the following questions: Do you find yourself driving more in urban settings or on open highways and expressways? How much distance do you travel in an average week?

For short journeys, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars are obvious choices. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Remember that in some places, high-emission diesel engines are not allowed in urban areas.

Are there more body variants of Lotus Elite?

On AutoUncle, the Lotus Elite is exclusively offered in the coupe body style. A coupe boasts a body design that accentuates style and offers a sportier driving experience. Its chassis is usually more rigid and robust compared to a saloon or SUV. This car is ideal for those without children and those who prefer travelling with fewer items. Typically, coupés come with a higher price tag than their corresponding saloon or hatchback counterparts.
