You CANNOT import any Lotus Elise or Exige into Canada. It will not be road legal.
Their manufacturer exemption for Elise & Exige model expired. (Safety test)
That's why there is no more newer gen. Elise & Exige on the market.

Kit car maybe

It's unfortunate how weak our dollar is now. If it weren't, it makes importing one of these bad boys a lot more tempting than buying early AP2s with 100k km for $25,000.
That works out to $40k CAD, once you're going into the 40's may as well buy a Canadian one.

Except in Canada it's way more than $40K. The cheapest one is this POS which has been for sale for a few years literally lol. https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/bnc/cto/5924544410.html

But yea, looks like you can't even import one according to Bender Unit, unfortunately.

Lease takeover for a 2011 Cayman S. 18 months left at ~$500 and then a buyout for $15K.

Gotta be a typo on the buyout price.

Strange that there is a phone number. Possibly to mess with someone.

I have been keeping an eye on a yellow 2006 Cayman S over here. 88k $34,400 It was previously up for $29k on CL Nanaimo (was located in Qualicum Beach). The ad disappeared and showed up the next day in Victoria for 5k more.

2006 Porsche Cayman S Saanich, Victoria

I think it is a testimony to the W202's reliability, but I would avoid it simply because of the high KM's. Lots can go wrong...

It looks damn well kept though... No wear on bolster, wheels aren't oxidizing, lights are still clear, Woodgrain that normally cracks has not...

TLDR; it has 331k
