Bravo73 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 They'll still make one for you, if you want. Some bloke in the Middle East bought two of them, so that his mates could have a go at the same time. Someone else bought one just to have in his home. He turns it on occasionally, just to rev the engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted February 16, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Wow, if I could I would. Road cars like the P1, Enzo etc are all well and good but that's the real track deal. Back on topic, has the availability of the early 400 demonstrators had a noticeable impact on late SR Evora S prices? I've not seen it, but....

Stuno1 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Can't say I have noticed it. Few 'higher' milers at just under 45k but the rest seem to be sticking at 45-48k. until the 400 comes within 5k ish price wise I can't see them changing that much. Maybe wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've owned a lot of cars. Love the new addition to the text - "Reduced to Sell. Be Quick!" Yes, reduced from the stupid inflated price you put on it the LAST time you hiked it up from its current price of £39,999. How do traders like this even manage to run a business??? haha, i noticed that earlier and sent: Quote Will it be back to £41,995, £42,500, £43,500 or £44,000 next week?

Gold FFM CocoPops Posted March 8, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Interesting pricing on this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2010-Lotus-Evora-3-5-V6-2-Sport-Tech-Petrol-grey-Manual-/252312861306 (AU10 AFN) £32,495 for a 2010 NA with Sport & Tech.

Gold FFM DaveC72 Posted March 8, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 That's a punchy price. My S is two years younger but 6k more miles. If it sells at that price, then like you say Lee, it's great news for current owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted March 8, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Its a good looking and tidy car. Nice to see the prices holding firm but then I've noticed cars seems to be priced higher in Poole. £30k - £33k seems to be the dealer price point for low mileage 2010/LE cars, around £27k - £30k private. Nothing seems to have changed in the past 12 months price wise. Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Gold FFM DaveC72 Posted March 8, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Agreed Andy - prices are remarkably steady on the whole. I still think these cars are a bargain though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris... Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I traded my 59 Plate Launch Edition in at the weekend, as the deposit on my new 400. I have had the car for 15 months, and added 18,000 miles to the clock, so the milage is just under 55,000 miles. It just went up on the dealer web site, for £29,995, I originally purchased the car for £31,000 So despite the high milage added to the car, its value has only dropped by £1,000 in 18 months.

PaulCP Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Although I'm not a betting man Lee, I think that a few £s on either a yellow or orange 400 appearing in your garage by this time next year would be a winning move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM EuropaSman Posted March 9, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) This is the cheapest low mileage Evora S I've seen to date; it's a 2+0 with just the sport pack, diamond cut alloys and 9500 miles on the clock. I wonder if the dealer in Northern Ireland realises it's an Evora S? Looks too good to be true? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201602110928866?make=lotus&page=1&price-from=500&model=evora&onesearchad=used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew&sort=default&radius=1500&postcode=LE65%201DX&search-target=usedcars&searchcontext=default&logcode=p Edited March 9, 2016 by EuropaSman Typos again!
