This one has come on to ebay, it seems like good value for the low mileage (12k) it says its a Japanese import doesn't mention being a crash repair car..... but it is on sale with TVR Glenn......... 😬

Why am I always dubious of a 1 picture Ebay car add.

[robington]

Especially when it looks like the same background as a UK Sports cars ad!!

[Barrykearley]

I thought just the same then saw the seller 😂

A UK sports car add just looked at,  

[Barrykearley]

That’s defo the same garage doors - marks in the timber pit that beyond doubt

[TrevS]

That eBay car is being sold by North East Sports Salvage. I suspect they don’t have any pictures of the car so have grabbed one from this ad from UK sports cars.

It’s not the same car for sale due to the mileage.

I think the North East Sports Salvage Evora 2+0 might be this one. It appeared on the Lotus Evora Owners Group on Facebook in March 2021.

North East Sports Salvage just pinched someone else's ad photo.

 

 

[Benny90210]

Yeah! - surely that's the same one I'm not tempted though! 😅

From what was written on Facebook back in 2021, the carbon wrap on the roof and the stick on lights on the rear diffuser were going to be removed.

Wonder what this Evora S goes for?  Looks a good deal at the moment.  £22k and 3 hours left, someone could get a bargain . . .

Not sure what it will go for but I'll guess that it won't hit reserve. I notice that the persian blue NA didn't sell. Not sure what the bidding got up to on it.

[Mark Blanchard]

Yes I spotted that too.  Prices of new and used supercars seem to be dipping at the moment, maybe good time to buy.

[TrevS]

I've just placed a deposit on an 2010 Evora S!!!! Picking up next week. I can't tell you how excited I am about the car.

Not according to the listing. Says ‘Ended: Unsold’. 

[pete]

so reserve was higher than final bid.  seemed a reasonable bid in this market

So just shy of £34k with fees. I’m guessing the owner wants closer to £40k.

It doesn't help that it's listed as a Sports Racer when it isn't.

This was my old car. Traded it in for a fair bit more than that. It was in spectacular condition 500 miles ago, I keep me cars with an engineers attention to detail and it arrived with me pretty much perfect. I doubt a lot has changed in the last 500 miles, so when it does next pop up for sale I can highly recommend making the trip if you want a good one.

I sold it with the intention of moving straight to a GT410 Sport, but then personal circumstances changed. Life never fails to surprise. I'll be back at some point. Loved that car.

Blue car sold on collecting cars for £23,500 - https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2010-lotus-evora-bin

Yes. It needs airbag and a big service. Not serviced since Feb 22. Trade sale, so they needed out. I assume plus 7.2% commission and paint in description suggests that ain't perfect. 

I'd rather buy a car from a long term owner with regular history 🙂.

[TrevS]

100% agree Justin. The front bumper has some damage and needs repainting so I think car needs at least £2-3k on top so I think it's a riskier buy.

Another one on the market - 2011 S with 19k miles. £31,500

That’s my old car! The owner after me added the 400 front end but I added the black pack, MY12 front seats and updated Pioneer head unit
