Thinking of buying the 2000 Lotus Esprit?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2000 Lotus Esprit for sale by us right now. Buying the 2000 Lotus Esprit is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the figures tell you
Power: the 3.5L 8-cylinder turbo; drive: rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Plan on about 44 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 14.7 L/100 km. Expect about $25.73 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
The Esprit in everyday use
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Good uses for the Esprit
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Esprit answers the big questions. Drive the Esprit on your commute before you commit to it. If the Esprit is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $25.73 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Your move
