Auction archive FAQ

How much does a Lotus Elise sell for at Copart and IAAI?

Over the last 12 months the median final bid for a Lotus Elise was $15,800; half of the 31 sales went for $10,350 to $20,250.

Is a Lotus Elise cheaper at Copart or IAAI?

Median final bid over the last 12 months: Copart $15,150, IAAI $17,350.

What should I pay for a salvage Lotus Elise?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Lotus Elise with light front-end damage and keys sits near the top of the sold-price range; a water loss without keys sits at the bottom.

Does the model year change what a Lotus Elise sells for at auction?

Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Lotus Elise final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.

Are these final bids what a repaired Lotus Elise would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Lotus Elise vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
