Buying the Lotus Esprit
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no Lotus Esprit for sale by us right now. Here is the Lotus Esprit for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Esprit
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Under the hood
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
How big it is
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the Esprit on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. The years table on this page shows where the Esprit changed.
Still deciding?
Want to try before you buy? Ask for your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Lotus Esprit from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Lotus Esprit for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Lotus Esprit
Does CarmaCars sell the Lotus Esprit?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Lotus Esprit before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
