Repaired FOC, but usually an excess for replacement, I'm with LV and the windscreen excess for the Evora is £500!  It's completely nuts as the policy excess is only £150.  As my mate pointed out, "if you crack the windscreen, you may just as well write it off, you'll save yourself £350!" 

Our GT430 is insured with LV, access on windscreen replacement £190 & repair £20

[Mellow Yellow]

Sounds like I need to have a word when renewal comes up.

This won’t hang around for long at this price (£30k):

The ad for RX59AXY is no longer available, so looks like Guy might had had a very quick sale.

[Bravo73]

I’m not surprised in the slightest. 

[Rambo]

Nor me. "First to see will buy" 🤣

[TdM]

Yeah, I think that one was priced quite low for what it was. Not sure why!

[Rambo]

Perhaps GM has been following this thread? £30k this week to test the water. Next week £32,295😉

My old car, good to see it again. Worth every penny she is a stunner.

[jep]

That reminds me of the old joke:

I knew as soon as I met my wife to be that she was a stunner; I'm not saying she's attractive - she worked in an abattoir.

It sounded good whilst I was behind it a while back.

[Techyd]

Absolutely stunning that; wish I could afford it myself frankly!

The UK Sports Cars Showroom

Lotus Evora Launch Edition, 2010.  3.5VVT-i V6 2+2.  Sports Pack, Tech Pack and Premium Pack.  

£31,995

It's been hanging around for a couple of weeks now @Mellow Yellow

Pretty tidy LE. Badge on the rear bumper is in the wrong place though.

[EvoraBob]

There is one just been advertised on the Evora owners group on Facebook.

Mind you the gt 410 sport at b&c is 30k ish cheaper ..

https://www.bellandcolvill.co.uk/all-used-cars/used-lotus/lotus-evora-gt410-sport_lg19juc

although high-ish miles for a 2019 car, though I guess that is reflected in the price.

does anyone have any background on either - my wife is insisting on an auto and I don’t want another 400.

As a couple of people mentioned, that’s my old car and I put almost all those miles on it in the two year finance period, I think Jamie has added maybe 100 or less since last August. 

In the time I owned it it had a replacement windscreen, and that’s it. No other issues. If it weren’t for COVID and lockdowns I would have driven it even more!

I pulled my Emira deposit so I’m not on here much anymore, but if you have any questions feel free to PM me

@LeglessAlex Alpine looks fab in green with gold wheels. Emerald Isles homage I assume.

So good to see you use your cars. 

Emira - what changed?

[LeglessAlex]

@jep

There are a few different reasons, but to not derail the thread too much I'll just say it's not what I'm looking for in a sports car at this time. Maybe one day. 

For what it's worth, I'm really happy for Lotus as a brand and everyone that works there. It's going to be a fantastic car, and it's shaping up to be a huge success!

Green and gold just because that seems to be my thing. 

[exeterjeep]

Looks as if the grey S IPS has been sold from Hendy Exeter, just leaving the blue S IPS.

 

[Ba55uma]

The cheapest Evora on auto trader now is the Blue Evora S IPS  @£50K 🤣🤣🤣

[Cdm2018]

Pistonheads lists three under £40k but these could be sold by now and the adverts are not updated ? 
the numbers are getting closer to teen number levels 

maybe once Emira deliveries happen there could be movement ? Wonder if any Evora owners go for the SUV in future ?  Or maybe they keep ICE car and have electric option. ?
