that means you'll never own one then :lol:

look at it this way...... an elise same age as a spider is only fetching half the price of a spider ..... the elise keeps dropping while the spider price has stayed firm for years with only 60 in the uk and possibly less now as there are 3 in oz there is one which is going to be a cheap car on the market though..... as it's been written off and is being rebuilt in the peterborough area so beware......the guys been trying to blag a windscreen out of me for a year now....

Its at least 2 cylinders short of a decent sound track too!!!
The spider's price relative to the Elise is all about numbers. If they had only produced Elises for a year or so they would have gone through the roof.
Road worthy Trabants are going up in value now....it doesnt mean they are any use...just that there arent many around!
