Ask the dealership how much the oil change is on an Elise. Find a buddy with a lift to take off the bottom cover and save yourself some loot.

you can just jack it up like any other car, they say the filter and drain plug are difficult to get to but not something most people can't do themselves... $300 or so for a change at a dealer according to the site i looked up

Yeah, $280 for an oil change was the price I was quoted then interested in buying one. That's crazy. A lift would make it so much easier. After David's accident, I'm not scootin' under my car with Rhino ramps and jackstands.

I think ramps wll suffice...the whole buttom of the car has a aluminum aerodynamic plate that can be removed in sections. Just take the plate off and your good to go...fuck that this isnt a enzo...no oil change should cost $200+

$280 to change oil on a god damn Toyamaha motor? Fuck that. You'd have to be an idiot.
