Evora market watch, for discussion and to help those searching!

[Nelly]

Lovely car but then I do like them in white.  My only complaint is why the hell Lotus didn't do a carbon sail panel to match the roof and tailgate, the standard black one looks completely out of place.  Never fails to do my head in when they went to all that effort and then left the final detail missing.

 

[Gazm]

It’s pretty well documented that Lotus couldn’t guarantee the weave from the roof, sail panel and louvers would match so they chose not to do it. Of course, cost was probably the real reason and the flimsy plastic sail panel is probably lighter than a carbon option. Which is why they all crack eventually!

[JAWS]

Exactly that, trying to line up the weave over 3 body panels and ensuring panel gaps were exceptable would be impossible. That's why most large OEM's don't even use a centre line weave but a simple lay.

Also where do you stop? I think the break using the black panels including the 'A' panels works. Personal taste I suppose.

The hot climate markets had the carbon 'A' Panels and Cosmetic Roof panel but painted in black. As stated these carbon panels were actually heavier than the plastic standard parts.

This one seems agressively priced especially with the low mileage. Maybe a fast sale is required. 

[Cdm2018]

The seller copies and pasted the same words on all his adverts 

must be very busy as his cars must be flying out the forecourt ????

[Bibs]

Looking at the prices, I'd suggest that is a scam account. 

[mcdonaa]

Yes a scam...I've posted the link to the real ad before (I believe it was up for considerably more than 25k)

[Benny90210]

Looks like ebay have removed it now! I wonder how it works, takes a deposite and then just disappear maybe?

[Cdm2018]

I guess even if one poor unsuspecting person drops a deposit is enough to sustain their scam ? 
they probably reappear later with another fake account to repeat !

New to market modifiel Launch edition:

https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/14604085  but with the modifications and damage repairs it makes this £25K car look like a steal!  https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13851879

 

[jerzybondov]

You’d want to get a lot more info on that second car - no idea what that short advert is omitting  First one is from the kind of seller I’d like to buy from, but agree price is tempting on the second.

[Rambo]

Rear spoiler looks a bit naff but original is included in price. 

[EuropaSman]

The liquid blue Evora was a press car and the owner is on TLF. The vehicle has been discussed on the Launch Edition register thread. It's a car with a known history. The mods are reversible if anyone wanted to get it back to how it was when it was a press car.

[TdM]

Yeah the first car, the advert is super honest, which gives some confidence. You know what you are getting into, unlike the second, which might be a nice car but needs a longer chat to find out more about it.

[Barrykearley]

wow - two lovely cars very well priced.

im having a side bet on how long it takes someone to mention clutches 

[C8RKH]

Clutches will be fine @Barrykearley, both cars have done over 30k miles so that'll be a fairly new 3rd clutch in each car anyway, so no need to worry.

[Kevin Wheeler]

Just to hijack the thread, I have been told that my Elise will need a new clutch soon, since the original is coming to the end of its life, maybe, at 130,000 miles.

[Bruss]

Does nothing last these days. 😀

[Rambo]

In over 44 years of driving I've never had to replace a clutch.

 

 

 

 

Until I got the Evora 😕

[Bibs]

To whomever buys AU09 AOG, I just found this and you're welcome to it if you'd like it in the car's history file.

I’m on clutch change number 9 in the last 20 years. 👎 - Thankfully 0 with Evora.
