Looking for a used Lotus Esprit?

Are you considering buying a used sports car? Then the Lotus Esprit is a good choice. At AutoUncle, we have assembled a collection of 9 used Lotus Esprit cars collected from various dealership websites and online marketplaces.

What is the used car price of the Lotus Esprit?

A used Lotus Esprit costs between £28,995 for the cheapest variant and £69,995 for the most expensive model.

The cost of a pre-owned Lotus Esprit is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include the year, engine capacity and power, the car's fuel efficiency, how far the car has travelled along with equipment.

For instance, a more recent model with limited mileage, or a premium variant featuring a powerful engine, typically commands a higher price than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

Is the Lotus Esprit available in different fuel variants?

Petrol is the only fuel type offered for the Lotus Esprit. We currently offer nine cars at an average price of £45,217.

When contemplating fuel type choices, reflecting on your driving habits is important. What's the average distance you drive weekly? Do you have a preference for shorter trips, or do you usually drive long distances?

For short trips, range is rarely a limitation, so electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol can be fine. For longer daily journeys, consider an electric car, especially if you have the option to 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. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. Remember that diesel engines with high emissions are prohibited from entering cities in various countries.

What body types do the Lotus Esprit have?

On AutoUncle, the Lotus Esprit is exclusively offered in the coupe body style. A coupe is a type of body design that prioritises style and sporty driving. The chassis is typically tighter and stronger than that of a sedan or SUV. This type of car is mostly for people without kids and who tend to travel light. Coupes are typically more expensive to buy than their equivalent sedan or hatchback sister models.
