Will Blackham has got a lovely S that I'd be all over if I didn't already have mine:

[Celica]

Think that’s made my mind up

go for red calipers rather than yellow 

[Cdm2018]

I personally went yellow to contrast the red body so I think the red against a darkish colour works 

what about a plum colour

That's a really nice car and well priced, which seems to be a trend with Will

I do this periodically. My Evora webuyanycar valuation 1 month apart.

Still rising.

Out of interest, how does their valuation compare with perceived values on here/what you think it's worth? 

[C8RKH]

Good question!

Personally I’d say their valuations are always 5%-10% under true market value - just my opinion.

[jerzybondov]

And that's under true market *trade value too, not private value or dealer list price. 

[C8RKH]

I'm pretty sure @mayevora and @jerzybondov that it has been documented on here that WBC is part of an established car auction chain and that the prices for most cars are updated at least daily based on what is going through the auctions. So they are probably an accurate reflection of the Cars current "Auction Value" - i.e. Dealer buy Price so then yes, a margin of at least 10% on top, more likely 20-25% would give your the forecourt sticker price surely?

That’s fine by my maths. Even at the 10% calculations that’s more than I paid for it 3 years ago. 👍😊

I enjoy referring to my car (just so the wife won’t suggest selling it lol) as my investment. 😁

I also suspect that those prices work more for mass market cars than a tiny market like second hand Evoras, where their estimates may be some way off.

I put in my number plate and they offered £22k. Not many Evora S’s on the market for within +50% of that!

[Graham Ridgway]

WBAC gives about £58k for my 410 sport.  I've just been "bid" 60k by trade for it as I am contemplating selling with the Emira being in the garage by late Spring (hopefully).  Rightly or wrongly, I don't really get out to use my fun cars over the winter, so I was exploring options to sell.

[C8RKH]

Out of interest Graham what is the spec of your car?

Edited September 30, 2021 by Bravo73

[Graham Ridgway]

Good question.  Not quite sure what was optional versus standard.  But grey 410 sport with yellow stitched alcantara and yellow highlights inside.  Got AC, stereo, sub and reversing camera.  Yellow calipers,  6,500 miles second owner.

[jep]

AC and stereo were options on Evora Sport 410. As were Sparco seats, I assume you have the carbon seats which were standard and I think the only Evora to have them as such. GT430 had Sparco. 

£60k dealer bid is strong....not sure what they hope to retail that for as Barry Ely has one with very low miles for I think £65k. 

Rare cars, that along with GT430 versions, will become the halo Evora.

Sounds good to me, even the we buy any car was less than 50k for mine.

[jep]

And Barry Ely has sold his. 1300 miles, asking was I think £64,995. It had Sparco and carbon seats as 'back up' - or back-pain. 

Actually, carbon seats are v comfy.
