How much does a used Lotus Esprit go for?

The oldest and cheapest Lotus Esprit here on AutoUncle is available for £28,995, while a more recent model with a higher equipment level costs around £69,995.

The cost of a pre-owned Lotus Esprit is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include year of production, engine capacity and power, fuel economy, how far the car has travelled as well as 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.

How many different fuel types can I choose from for the Lotus Esprit?

Petrol ranks as the top fuel type for the Lotus Esprit.

Your current driving habit is a determining factor when it comes to picking a fuel type. Do you primarily use your car to commute, and is the distance 35 miles or fewer each way?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. 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 in some countries, diesel engines with high emissions are no longer allowed to enter some cities.

Will the Lotus Esprit come in different body types?

On AutoUncle, the Lotus Esprit is exclusively offered in the coupe body style. Style and sporty driving take centre stage in a coupe, and this body type tends to have a tighter and stronger chassis than, for example, a sedan or an SUV. The model is best suited for people without children and others who travel light. It is usually more expensive than equivalent sedan or hatchback sister models.
