Evora prices post Emira launch

[Timbotucker]

Very nice but looking for a SC version, preferably 410 sport, trying to be specific with colour etc does limit the choice but as the discussion, prices do seem to be sticking.

I figured this is the best place to put this comment, Unless Bibbs has a better thread.

I had my first look at an LE EMIRA yesterday. To me its a pretty car and very generic in design. I have decided I prefer the aggressive look of my 400

I cant say I was that taken with the Marketing driven digital instruments, call me old school.

The seats although nice are made for big people and as I am  only 5'6" with the seats in my position are quite forward and would go even further forward. I still cannot get out with the seats in the seated position. Yes the seats move and are electric and have a memory function, its easier to use manual seats as in the EVORA, and a lot faster.

Its great having cup holders but under your elbow...

I bough my EVORA as it was the last of the"analog" cars. Sadly I am not in the position to by a new car, and all of the 100 cars allocation for Australia are sold out for 2 years. And indications are their cost of the cars will go up considerably, a Gordon Murray told Harry Metcalfe, GMA's material costs have gone up 40%

I have decided I will be staying with my 400.

The only thing I would say with electric seats is that they are brilliant for long journeys in my experience. You can make small adjustments regularly very easily and safely to stop your joints and muscles getting tired, which is much harder (at least forward and back) with a manual seat. Electrics also often have more options.

However, depends on what your priority for the car is. If it's a sports car as a priority, it's not the most important point.

Interesting to see an FE Emira just dip under £80k on Autotrader https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202304126206342. Still a little way to go but I wonder if we will start to see an impact on the few Evora GT410 Sport’s currently for sale around the early £70k mark? Or maybe the Evora’s will hold given rarity, more power and 2+2. Watching with interest as a potential GT410 Sport buyer in the future ☺️

Can't see why the GT410 Sport prices would come down, as you have mentioned, it has more power, higher red line, 2+2 in most cases, a lot rare and ( matter of opinion ) better to drive.

If anything, I'd expect the contrary ie GT410 Sport and the like to hold, or even strengthen. As more and more Emiras come on stream and flood the market then those later Evora cars will become more of a rarity and hence more valuable.

I think the Evora (especially the GT4XX versions) is different enough to the Emira that it won't be effected if the market for Emira is softening and prices are reducing.

[Cdm2018]

I think the question is who will be buying the 410’s in future ie next 12 months ? 
the same buyer as Emira or Porsche ? 
would it be current S1 owners like me ?

Shhhh. I want one.

[philnotts]

Haha sorry! What colour are you hopefully wanting?

Jayemm seems to think the Emira will help Evora prices.

There are some strong prices of 2018/19 410s from Sussex Lotus....not far off Emira prices really!

You forgot lighter, more downforce, staggered wheels, better power:weight, more rigid chassis, better sound, carbon fibre panels, wipers that work properly…

Pushing your luck on that one! Not the greatest wipers I've ever used!

On the other hand it has one blade so it's cool and therefore better than everything else.
