This must be the one owned by Ishy on here, bought from JCT 2 years ago.

Yep. It would appears as if some of the ‘flippers’ are beginning to surface. 

[Trevsked]

What's your definition of a flipper? Mine would be to buy and sell at a higher price within a tight time scale. Yours? Maybe it's my impression of the term flipper, I tend to take it as derogatory.

Who wouldn't want to sell a car for more than they paid for it? We're all flippers given the chance aren't we?

I guess it's a shame when people who are only interested in the opportunity to make money are fuelling prices beyond some of the people who'd really love the car. But I don't think this problem applies to any Lotus cars yet. Prices of the classics have risen but are still lagging way behind the more prestigious marques. We're a long way off attracting speculators on new limited run cars.

[Trevsked]

That's just normal price rising in a market. A flipper is surely someone after a quick profit. If I buy a house and sell it two years later am I a flipper?

Someone who appears to have bought a car, sat on it for a couple of years (1300 miles??!?) and then selling it on for 20% profit.

If you only bought it with the intention of making a quick buck, then yep. 

[Trevsked]

No way is that a flipper. That's someone who sadly doesn't use the car and my betting is he bought the car thinking it would devalue but didn't know by how much.

So you're calling Ishy a flipper then?

[franjipane]

Nothing wrong with buying a weekend sports car and selling it after two years.

Looks amazing.

[Sizona]

As a fellow GTE owner I also have to say 'flipper' is not the best term to describe the selling of this car.

At the time when we Lotus enthusiasts bought the cars they were the most expensive Lotus cars available new from Hethel. I bought mine as it looked amazing, was a limited edition and to have a part of Lotus current history. If though two years later the value has increased because of rarity, desirabilty, comparison with other etc then any of us (or anyone with a car that has gone up in value) can sell and make a profit without being labelled a flipper.

Of course there are people who do, do this, but not usually after over two years of ownership. 

[Trevsked]

Well put.

The tone of this thread almost feels nasty very quickly.

 

Maybe, just maybe, Ishy has enjoyed the car and his circumstances have now changed. For the record, for me a flipper would have flipped this car long ago and usually what they try to sell is their place in the queue.  That is one stunningly beautiful Evora for sure.

[Dave Eds]

I thought Flipper was a dolphin.

This GTE is flipping gorgeous though.

[Ishy]

For the record..., I love the car but just simply never drive it.

Didn't buy it with the intention of not driving it, just find that with 3 road trips each year plus my race/rally commitments I simply don't get enough chance to drive it, it's not been an easy decision to sell, every time I see the car I change my mind but it frustrates me that it's just not getting used.....

Still think that it's a better car than anything else Lotus has to offer including the new 430 obviously just my opinion!

[Trevsked]

You are, of course, correct :-)
