Yes... it's mine! 😀

Hahaha. I knew it was going to be that one before the pictures were even put up. Not much margin on that then from 23500+ 6%+VAT buyers premium.

Yes, exactly. There's nothing I loath more than e-mail ping-pong. Just pick up the phone damnit! I've had a number of people trying to negotiate price and being under some delusion that they know what the market value of the car is without actually seeing it. Some don't even really know what an Evora is or what they're trying to buy. It's easier to screen the timewasters/traders/scammers if they call as you can tell quite quickly the sort of person you might be dealing with.

Has anyone who is selling an Evora suddenly had an uptick of attempted scammers in the past few weeks? One example is an attempted purchase without seeing the car from a "DAVID JONES" (in caps) and after a brief e-mail chain the final response from him was: "Ok, thanks for the reply. I want to inform you that I am interested in purchasing it promptly. Yesterday, I visited the bank to enhance my limit for a direct transfer, but that option isn't feasible due to my current situation. I was advised to use a bank draft for payment. If you're in agreement, please inform me so we can move forward with the sale. Additionally, you can confirm the credited funds in your account before pickup; this method guarantees 100% security." Autotrader confimed to me this guy is a scammer. Second one involves another person calling me to ask if I would accept finance - ie: have the finance company pay me the value of the car rather than him making the payment. Obviously huge red flags here, but he called last week and attempted again today seemingly to have forgotten that he called last we to see if he could purchase my "Evira" on finance. I've not heard of this attempted scam before specifically.

Mines still for sale, but I guess it's the wrong colour for you. https://www.lotusforsale.com/ads/evora-3-5-v6-coupe-2dr-manual-280-ps/

JayEmm enjoying the Evora again! "Now is the best time to buy one"!

I wondered what was happening to all the other Evora N/As - whether being sold or being pulled. Mine is now the only one left on Autotrader. Market has been dead - bit strange as we seem to be in a no supply and no demand situation. I lowered my price last week, but still nothing so I might put the price back to where it was again this weekend. Was hoping things would pick up in the summer, but that doesn't seem to have happened. It's never taken me this long to sell a car privately before!
