There is also a nice blue S1 SR S.   Shame its massively overpriced at £52k, (probably by more than £10k). 

 

 

Yaaaaaaaaawwwnnnnn 

keep beating the drum, no doubt someone will fall for your patter and give you an Evora one day 

[Stuno1]

I waited for the s sr to come down to late thirties.... that was over s year ago! Suffice to say it never happened.

Not sure what is more hilarious..the £52k price tag or your insecurity.  If depreciation scares you so much,  perhaps you shouldn't have stretched beyond your means.

Just put the popcorn on.....

Lol and lol again. 

Did you get your care worker to write that? What really surprises me is that trolls are allocated care workers, what a waste of resources  

Since it is clear that you have no intention of buying an Evora, or contributing to the forum in a constructive manner  (& yes negative comments are sometimes constructive) there is only one conclusion we can come to as to why you bothered joining in the first place.

Off now to look at my seriously overstretched finances 

@C8RKH no need for the popcorn for any more posts from me feeding the troll since his posts are always Ad hominem

[Barrykearley]

I got some money to blow on something @PaulCP if ever you get caught short  could rehome that depreciating evora of yours...

unfortunatley - once I've wasted it on a lotus in the next couple of weeks - I will be once again skint

[Evo400]

Colins old car now reduced by £2k to sub £60k after being on the market for 1 week. 

Odd dealer behaviour. 

[Barrykearley]

Nowt odd about that - dealer - January - reduction.......

your point being???? Ffs - I noticed currys reduced the price of a tv the other day

[JAWS]

Have they Barry? Bugger me I've got 6 TV's in the house. Why didn't someone tell me they were financial suicide machines as well. I feel dirty that I even watched them let alone drove my Evora!

[Barrykearley]

I'm somewhat concerned also about the residuals on my Panasonic plasma screen. It was top top top of the range in 2009 - im now really worried just how much I've lost on the deal.......Basta£ds - knew I should ave bought a Porsche 

[Colin G]

They're making nothing on that car.

Well, not quite.  They'll make someone very happy - your old car looks way better in real life than the pictures make it look.  It's stunning.

[C8RKH]

Not sure about that given that Colin has stated after owning it he'll not be in a Lotus again!  

[Colin G]

I'm sure it's all sorted by now, though I've said that on more than one occasion where that car was concerned. 

Yes, in a few ways it was an utter pain in the arse, but on a good day when all was well it was a fabulous thing to own. That said, after ownership I've decided I'm willing to trade off some of the Lotus magic handling and feel for better reliability and quality. I have two cars in mind, and you'll be happy to know Andy, neither are German. 

[Neal H]

Unless they're Japanese, the expression out of the frying pan and into fire springs to mind

Better the Devil you know?

[Stuno1]

Have to say the build quality of the Evora is better than I expected. Not Lexus standards not not bad at all. Clearly other cars at 80k are better put together though.

Thank god for that. In that case, I'll still wave and talk to you

Been in a Lexus. The plastic stuff looks and feel's shite and it just sort of still looks like a 80's Jap interior to me. No thanks.

Npo doubting the engineering though. it is top notch in a Lexus.

[Stuno1]

@C8RKH the interior of the ex-f is stunning and modern with soft leather, alcantara and all plastics are soft touch. 

 

[Harey]

I once owned a Lexus ISF, which was very refined inside and completely looney to drive (5litre V8 rear wheel drive). Surprised a fair few exotics over my time of owning. :-)

[Stuno1]

Indeed my car before my Evora was a isf ?

Probably even less made/on the roads than the Evora!

[Stuno1]

Yup, just over 200.

[CocoPops]

Fancy an Evora 400 in Daytona Blue?
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/lotus/evora/lotus-evora-400--daytona-blue/6678775

£80k though and it doesn't even have the forged wheels.

Not sure how they got to that pricing? Base 400 + Black Pack + Alcantara Pack + Custom Paint

[Cypriot]

Had a test drive at Hoffmans grey evora 400 a few days ago (pat was great btw). I have to say, even though it's an early build and with 10k miles, that car feels solid and tight. Absolutely no rattles/squeaks and no wear to speak of in the interior. Massively impressed! at the price it is, it is quite tempting...
