Postby ratman » Fri 04.08.2006, 09:04

I found an 1995 S2 elan with 43000km and 1 owner for 12500 euro...
what do you think about it? Is the occasion to be an Elaner??

It looks very nice from the photos.

Be careful that the nice appearance does not hide any other problems. Have you read the buying advice on this site?

There are more threads here:

These will give you loads of advice to help you in deciding whether this Elan is the right one to get.

Does it look as good in real life as it does in the photos?

What colour is it, Azure Blue or Midnight Blue?

I say buy it if it's Midnight Blue as you will be one of 12 owners :wink:

it seems like yours!
thanks a lot for all the news! I haven't seen it yet, the owner sent me only the photos.
I wanted to be informed of all the things i have to see and check before going to see and discuss about the price!
do you think that it is too expensive???

For a low miler (KM's) S2, it actually seems cheap..

From the pictures the bodywork is sound, as is the interior, be sure to check for service history, and what has actually been done with the car, by now it sould of had atleast 1 cam belt change, this is the most expensive service to do and people often try to skip it as they havn't reached the mileage marker but age of the belt is just as important.

Go see it, get it running, make sure shes mechanically there. Check everythign electric works, especially the windows as they can be a pain to fix.
