Buying the 1995 Lotus Esprit
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1995 Lotus Esprit for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before buying the 1995 Lotus Esprit, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 1 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel system; have those parts checked.
Engine and fuel
It uses the 2.2L 4-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $65.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the Esprit on your commute before you commit to it.
The cost of driving it
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 1995 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
When you know your dates
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
