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

[paranoidandroid]

Looks like a couple of the Evora GT410 Sports have sold recently with new owners posting on the Facebook group. The yellow one and also a black one.

[paranoidandroid]

Also looks like the Blue bewinged komotec 400 has finally sold! 

[EuropaSman]

Yes, the owner of the blue modified 400 has been posting on one of the Facebook Evora owners groups. Apparently they previously owned an Aston.

With electrification just round the corner later Evora’s have to be a great place to put your money.

Looks like when I bought mine 400 Hethel Edition last May was the best decision I made in 24 hours .

I think once we get the auto speed limiting tech we will see the price of recent "proper sports car" become even firmer as people  "want" the purer experience.

[Bruss]

Yeah in about 50 years.

 

Buying a Lotus is about the driving. Buying with any thought of investment is marketing hype or just plain stupidity.

I bought mine to drive. Nothing else. Was just responding to the previous poster.

There are a lot of people on here who seem to "worry" - a lot - about residuals, resale etc. Personally, couldn't give a shit about it. BUT, I DO THINK prices will hold as cars increasingly become sanitised and controlling of the driver. Future generations will not have the same "passion" for cars as we do today, as they will be autonomous lumps of shit. but for those who remember the freedom, fun, and enjoyment of being in control, well, we'll not be too ready to let that go.

Not trying to plug Evora values in any way and yes being a owner of a 2020 car one would think I should and yes i have a deposit on a Emira and yes it could be a gamble moving from probably the best mainstay lotus to this dates and time will tell. As for a investment sorry i do not get your argument. There are some not so good Fords and Lancia’s to name a few demanding big money and they are not 50 years old.

I never look at cars as investments although some of them have gone up significantly in value, but I do look at cars that give me what I want balanced out by cost of ownership. I’m not going to buy an M4 that will lose half its value over the next 2 years.

[Rambo]

But I suspect your nice  shiny new Emira is going to do just that. Maybe not 50% but certainly 10's of £thousands

[Barrykearley]

I’m hoping someone’s going to buy one in yellow with some nice yellow callipers - then carefully drive it very limited miles but only on a dry Sunday morning. After 4 years or so they need to sell it for a lot lot less than they paid for it as the government has introduced some massive levy in the city they live in and the car can’t be driven without paying the new green tax.
 

ill be all over that 💪😎

While this is the wrong topic for this, I'm not sure the Emira will dip as much as something like an M4 - There's a huge waiting list which will keep prices buoyant for some time I believe and being a brand new model there won't be that many used on the market for some time. 

In fact, here we go! 

 

[Bruss]

Good residuals is different from an investment.

I don't see any sign of any new Lotus being a good investment.  If they were I'd be a multi millionaire by now. ( Should've bought Pork) 😎

But I would buy a 2 year old M4 for that reason 😂

[Barrykearley]

Now sat here @C8RKH hoping they depreciate more than a 1980s Alfa 

[mg4lotus]

Can you get an M4 in +0 ? 😄

[Celica]

Probably cost you £10k for the bmw sports delete pack lol

[paranoidandroid]

This must be pretty rare? Late Evora S, non-Sports Racer. Lovely colour too.

Have you seen the price of 1980s Alfas. 

That said, I have a sneeky suspicion that by the time the 4 pot Emiras are on the second hand market/in stock cars my Giulia will have tanked value wise......

Looks like Canyon Red to me. Strong money too, not far off a 400 for a very late and low mileage S1. 

[C8RKH]

Lovely car but £50k. Wow.
