pete 1,913 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Particularly on the older cars it seems as if evoras are much cheaper than exiges of the same age or am I misreading the current situation Quote hindsight: the science that is never wrong Link to post Share on other sites
RedViper 84 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I hope your right. I will be selling my 2014 exige in a few months and buying my mates 2017 evora 400 so win / win if it’s true 😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troy5925 60 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I reckon they have bottomed out now on the series 1s When it comes to selling my Sports racer S and say 5 years from now I will not accept anything less than 38k which I paid for last year Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's an S with some fabric and black bits isn't it 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mayevora 1,276 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 No intention, but if I put my Sport Racer on the market today I would get what I paid for it over 2 years ago. This a a zero depreciation car 👍😊 1 Quote Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut! Link to post Share on other sites
Barrykearley 6,987 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I certainly never experienced any depreciation on my evora. The 400s may well do - but the NA have already done there slump 2 Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
r3nault 16 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Thanks to government stimulus and superannuation/pension money flowing through cashed up bogans in Australia, our used car market is up 10% and enthusiast models more... My Evora appears to be worth $10k more than I paid (£5K to you Brits), whilst a DC2R Integra recently fetched $47k... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bravo73 1,347 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 It is Australian, not all Australians though. The English equivalent might be chavs. Just with V8 utes & VB. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loquacious Lew 336 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Used Evora prices are stable here. '17 400s are sold at high $60Ks to $75K while '18s go for a little more although milage, equipment and condition are more important than vintage for 400s. But for the time being it seems like Evora prices are at a bottom. Now, for better or worse the used Evora population is so small that demand has started to meet or possibly even exceed supply. I get the impression that the Evora has finally made a dent in American car consciousness. I think Lotus sales were up near 40% last year. We know that's not really all that many cars but as a relative metric it's excellent and I would think encouraging to Lotus. Of course, the new cars can only be Evoras here and they are the most expensive Evora ever at that. That tends to drive the used market up a bit. We're still Porsche and Corvette besotted but there are recently a few more people buying new GTs. First time buyers are notably present. Of course specialist interest and prices for Elise and Exige remain high. I think it would take a special Exige to go for 70K though and no Elise I am aware of has sold that high but 400s do. Nobody wants to sell one for $65,000 so you just don't see them priced there. GTs naturally cost more than any other modern road going Lotus here and are likely to stay that way but the real story for resale only gets told when Evoras are discontinued. Evora's relative depreciation is good in the states but they are still depreciating from new of course. Still, I drive mine a lot and don't expect those miles to be all that costly at this point in the car's life cycle. As a rough guide older NAs are 30-40+K and S cars can go as high up to $60K for unique or special cars. At this point, you could say 400s cost 70K and up with a top at maybe $75K. There are always exceptions of course. I think the Evora has a bit more future here than it did 18 months ago as people speculate about what replaces it. 1 Quote '17 Evora 400 MT Link to post Share on other sites
