GarageScout Take
California-registered from new, with about 14 years in one owner’s care before its July 2020 sale. The 1.8-liter Elise has a Larini exhaust, DS brace, aftermarket steering arms, and replacement dampers, with service records, the removed factory exhaust components, and a September 2026 pre-purchase inspection report included. A Carfax-documented April 2008 parking-lot accident caused right-side damage, and the underside of the front bumper cover remains damaged.
Strengths
- California ownership history
- Larini exhaust with factory components retained
- Touring Pack and red leather
Watch For
- Carfax-documented April 2008 accident with right-side damage
- Underside of front bumper cover is damaged
- Larini exhaust is not CARB-compliant
- Aftermarket alarm is disconnected, with its LED still blinking
