Evora Picture & Video Thread

[snoboardr]

A very dirty Dexter went for a few days up in the Highlands and couldn't resist a trip on the Kinlochewe to Shieldaig road - nor of course the amazing Bealach na Ba mountain pass

Epic setting, haven't been there in a long time.

Definitely one of my favourite backdrops in Scotland. I always feel like I'm in a Bond movie whizzing around those single track lanes with the huge snowy mountains.

Incidentally, you didn't turn into a junction I was waiting to turn out of in Dex near Murray's today did you? In some "normal" car or other? If not you have a twin.

[Colin G]

Nope. Had intended to go over there today but been busy ripping floors up. Did take the car out for a bit but as yet remain 'unspotted'.

[jordan]

Yes it is, I was aways open to offers regardless anyway, I'm not in any rush to sell but i would like to buy a bigger house sooner than later so this is the reason for lowering the price. Its a shame the evoras have dropped value quite quick for such a great car.

They haven't.

I paid £30k April last year, they are still at £30k now for a 60plate 2+2, a little less for 2+0.

Jordan not sure where you're getting your pricing from and can't believe you paid much more, if anything, than £33/34k for your car last year. I know you've upgraded bits like the exhaust and SR look but you never get back the money you pay out for the upgrades whether an Evora, Ferrari, Porker etc....

I'll have some of what you've been smoking  As Cocopops says low mileage, nice cars are holding firm around £30k but high mileage does seem to drag the price down even though to Toyota mechanicals are very strong and robust.

If you have the original exhaust you are best off installing it and selling the 2bular seperately.

1st dibs on any 2 ubular down pipes lol!!!

Thats where you are wrong for a start....i never bought the car in last year....i bought it spring 2014.  As for mileage i don't think 32k is that high for a 2010 Evora.... 

[snoboardr]

Mine's a March 2013 Evora S and it's already done 31,000 miles. But a lot of Lotus owners don't seem to do much more than use their car at weekends - and even then only if it's dry ?

[C8RKH]

Getting back on topic, I finally found a picture of the 400 cognac interior. Can't make my mind up about it, not convinced...

 

[Stuno1]

Looks very old fashioned some how and well.... Like poop ....

[snoboardr]

Ghastly ?

[C8RKH]

Yup, coming around to you r way of thinking guys. If only it was more like the tan / sand / beige with red stitiching. Oh well, guess it'll be the red interior for me if I ever get a 400

[Kalli]

1. Not a fan of the brown interior. In my mind, brown and black shouldn't be paired together. I never wear black shoes with a brown belt, and so should a brown dash never be paired with black dash parts. 

2. jordan - definitely echo other peoples opinions. Too high a price, and the more you post arguing it, the more it'll put people off the sale. It doesn't take much to research you tried to sell the car a a week after fitting your 2bular. Personally it would be setting off alarm bells if I were a potential buyer. 

The exhaust adds interest, it doesn't add value. What you paid for it is lost, and you need to accept that. 

[sellman]

Jordan,

 I think you've done top job with your car, it looks ace. Well specced cars in the right colour that have been owned by an enthusiasts will allways sell quicker than the  dull silver, black and gunmetal Evoras out there!.

At the end of the day you start high and come down in price a little. You'll sell it..... after all how many other Evoras are for sale that look and have the same spec as yours at the moment.... you just need the right person.

Good luck

Paul

The red interior actually looks pretty awesome; the dark grey (sorry, I don't know the official colour name) 400 I had for the test drive had red full leather interior with tan (or maybe beige) stitching. As the rest of the interior is so bland I think if the car itself is black or grey you've got to have the red really to give it some interest. Unless the car itself is red, in which case I'd go for black interior with red stitching as I have on Dexter. Then maybe stick some small circles of aluminium foil individually over each of the buttons and maybe spray the knobs glittery silver.

(yes, I'm being mildly facetious with the last sentence before anyone goes off on one).

[C8RKH]

Agreed Jason re the interior colours - though my current red Evora will eventually have red seats and suedetex with red stitching, or maybe just a full venom red interior. You can't have enough red!

However, no need to use aluminium foil as even Evora 400 owners can have real metal buttons - just get these off flea bay, a bit of blue tack, and voila, you have a nice new smart set of metal buttons to cover the plastic ones 

 

[Colin G]

The 'broon' interior is howlingly bad.

[Bibs]

[CocoPops]

Looks lovely, saw it couple of weeks ago.

Green with Yellow calipers.

IPS car.

[DaveC72]

That's caused quite the trouser moment!

[ricvx]

Finally got round to giving the car a proper clean and protection over the last few days. Scrubbed up not bad.
