Welcome!

Thanks and looking forward to finding one. I'm using the search feature to get info on the difference in cabin noise between i4 & V6. My Elise is a DD, stock engine & exhaust, and I don't mind it on long trips. YT videos vary widely because of different mics used and sound post-production.

I have the AMG i4, love the way it drives and sounds great - although not the throatier sound of the v6. Think I saw @DerTheDer still has his v6M for sale - very low miles, and in Virginia..

Yes, I saw that earlier in the week when lurking, thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks for the kind offer; it's a beautiful car, but really set on Osmium Silver. My wife & I have always preferred the silver aesthetic. Have you posted on 3d-party car sales aggregators (if that's the correct term), like AutoTrader?

Love the take on "LotsOfTroubleUsuallySerious." My Lotus Elise has been pretty reliable over 15 yrs., beyond the oil line warranty recall, done when I had the stock radiator replaced. The shock absorber leak and coolant tube leak that I ordered replacements and replaced was easy to do.

I was not aware of carsandbids.com. A few Emiras posted and sold--will be a good source--bookmarked.

I have it here, BuiltForBackRoads.com and LotusTalk. Not wanting the hassle of putting it on Autotrader due to all the tire kickers unfortunately. If you can see a Nimbus Gray in person, you will see it is silver

You're right, it is silver, just a darker shade. I added an avatar of my Elise. It's nit-picking, but that lighter shade gives it more contrast between the black vents/ducts. I wasn't aware of BuiltForBackRoads.com and bookmarked it. Both of you have been a wealth of info and helpful suggestions. I hope to continue that once I'm an owner.
