Simon350S Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Anyone looking at this..... PLEASE BE CAREFUL..... Previous owner stated it was inspected and found to have a BENT chassis... to be fair this is also lower down in this advert. A quick look can very easily dismiss any real damage as it would be very hard to see anything... on the back bone especialy. It would need to be put on a lift and properly inspected again to be sure....... PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL.... Simon Quote Chunky Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel cowell Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 My esprit and two others on the forum came from lancia4x4 on eBay. I had a reasonable experience but the other two that i know about had difficulty with him. those how no him ar aware that he is more of a dealer than a collector, and therefore at 3K is probably still making a profit. My advice would be to look the car over thoroughly , if you like it pay cash and take the car away as soon as pos. I don't now the future for this car but i have installed a v6 duratec in mine, another is having a duratec installed and the third is thinking about it SPOOKY !

MGFCrasher Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I AGREE WITH SIMON AND NIGEL PLEASE ALL BE VERY CAREFUL OF THIS GUY. HE IS A TRADER (many of the ads he has states that he has changed his mind, too many cars, not enough time, doesn't want to break etc etc ) AND CHANCES ARE THE ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION IS CORRECT,I.E IT HAS A BENT CHASSIS. OF COURSE TO PROTECT MYSELF, HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BUY AND SELL CARS BUT PLEASE PM ME IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espritmayhem Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hi Simon, I agree with you on the careful stakes as far as buying the car. I have / did make everyone aware of the previous owners inspection. I did indicate what happened on a test drive. I did recommend to everyone to budget a chassis off restore / possible replacement. I did offer to release the car for a full inspection at an independent garage if they wished. Regards Nick Lancia4wd on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL I got my car from Nick as well, and look at what has happened to that............... I had no problems with him, in fact I have even been to see him since buying the car, he was a bit difficult to ge in touch with at times though.

espritmayhem Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Nigel, Car looking much better since emerging for my barn, well done on the restore / engine swap. Yes I have not been perfect / prat at times, it all came to head last year when I had major illness, resulting in IVA file and job loss around November, my assets got seized etc etc and I struggled / still struggle to sort everything out, this did have some direct results on some people, and i made amends and sorted everything out. I try to use eBay now, to offer protection for both buyer and sellers, my rating are not fake and while not perfect, 99.2 % with 3148 positive feedback ( 1964 different eBayers ) with 16 negatives, are not awful either. Sort of trader, yes guess so, I have owned 46 Lotus Esprits, and many many other cars, you saw a small selction when you picked up your car. I brought the white Esprit for Edited July 27, 2007 by espritmayhem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
