Is my Evora too expensive?

Hi, 

On the Silverstone website, your Evora is displayed right next to a blue one with the same options. Yours is currently 2500£ cheaper, but the other has 3,300 miles versus 20,000 miles and is a 2015 model versus your 2013.

Althought the other one is already reserved, I think it harms you. Once it disappears, your offer will have no comparison and will be more appealing.

Ahhh. That wasn't there when I listed mine. That is indeed a good price. Silverstone are continuing to get enquiries about my car. I have asked them to call me to negotiate a deal if someone likes.

Unfortunately, it also won't help that the 'sister car' to your's is listed at £42k:

(Also with slightly fewer miles). 

[Stuno1]

That will sell quickly and I think is under priced looking at others on offer. I have chatted to Silverstone and will see what happens now.

This has been up for sale for a while at the same money too but of course IMHO Silverstone can ask a premium over a non franchised dealer

Same car as I just listed above. Now reduced to £42k.

I wouldn't be so sure. It's been for sale for (nearly exactly) the same time as your's. 

If it does sell @ £42k, you'll at least know the current market value of your car. 

[internets]

The car you listed has red seats with just under 10k miles, the PH link car has black seats and 14k miles

[Bravo73]

Oh, blimey. You're right. Apologies. 

Jeez, those white SRs are common as muck.  I'd call that a buyer's market (unfortunately for the OP). 

[Stuno1]

Seems that way at the moment. Bad timing maybe. When I was looking for a year and keeping an eye out last year there were none or maybe 1 for sale in white! 

[Harey]

Keeping a casual watch on the market, it seems to be famine or feast. I think we've come off the back of a famine, when prices increased and those in two-minds decided to sell at the stronger prices.

How much are Silverstone charging for SOR? Must be £3k ish? How about trying to sell privately for what you would have returned via the SOR route? You have to take any goodies off as you're getting nothing for those. I might be interested in any bits you're selling off. 

Regarding the clutch, I agree with you about not changing it. What's the bite point like, is it high?

[Stuno1]

The bite point isn't high no. I really don't see it as an issue. 

Selling privately isn't something I want to do. It's serious hassle and Silverstone will offer a warranty as well. At this price point it will provide greater seller confidence.

If I go the webuyanycar route the exhaust will be coming off.

SOR is just under 2.5k.

Saw your car today. It looks good, but I am not a fan of white.

 

Bought my 2014 s KPS sports racer in Daytona with 23k miles from Silverstone in December for £41k so yours maybe a little high.

[Stuno1]

Lotus silverstone took a deposit for my car today. The chap I talked to stated the clutch was heavy but agreed there is no need to change it as it is not exhibiting any signs of wear. I believe if this had been made clearer to other people who drove the car it may have sold sooner. I also have a potential private sale lined up if this falls through. Both options give me the return I was after.

I have loved my Evora and am very sad to see it go. I can't see it being my last lotus. The ownership experience has been really enjoyable from the car (how it drives and makes me feel) to the community.
