I expected it to be a la flambe. Instead it's just a Lotus with a "wiring issue." What could possibly go right?

I believe there's some sort of adage about the words "cheap" and "lotus" being used together.

After reading the kijiji comments, i think this is exactly the type of Lotus i'm mostly likely to buy. At $6400 or less, anyway.
