Maintenance costs on Lotus vehicles are brutal. I owned an Elise years ago and was shocked at what dealers charged for basic service. Before dropping $110K, potential buyers need to budget seriously for upkeep. That's the hidden cost nobody talks about.

I keep coming back to real-world costs. Insurance alone on a $110K Lotus is going to be steep. Add in specialized maintenance, tires for a lightweight performance vehicle, and you're looking at significant ownership costs beyond the purchase price. People need to understand that.
