...... I think that white one has the CR box (going by CO2 sleuthing) 

I like your thinking. However,  the Evora's CO2 was re categorised during 2010 so I wouldn't use it to determine whether it has a CR box or not. Good luck with your search.

£4.5k more than I paid for my red 2010 NA with only 15k miles 2 years ago. If prices carry on moving up like that soon I can trade in my car for a new 400 with a nice fat cheque back from the dealer on top too ;)

It's a very nice car and all but seems hard to accept that the dealer premium plus 15k mileage advantage is equal value to a year newer with a SC

A white NA sold at Snows recently for the same advertised price, and that car had a slightly higher mileage than this red one.

It seems to be catching unfortunately 

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201703062979793

KX60FXH in case it's known in these parts.

I mean, it looks really good and has been looked after by Silverstone throughout, but only £1,000 cheaper than @dalepearson's and the low mileage Snow's car with nearly 30k more miles is pretty aggressive. 

Is it time to start panic buying yet?

Maybe it's time for us with 2010 Evora's to panic sell whilst the prices are good.

My personal opinion is the older car still represent alot of value for money, especially when compared with the newer model.
I deliberated for a long time if I would buy a 400 which would essentially cost the same as buying the existing Evora NA again plus some. 

I think for this reason, the dealers can get good prices on the older models as to some extent its easier man math justification. As with all things we want the cars to be worth as much as possible when we sell, but want the arse to drop out of it when buying :)

To be fair, that's not a massive amount more than my 60 plate was up for with 44k on it. 10% premium for -30k miles. Someone will pay it - I would if in the market.

Blessed with the competence to be a slave to the incapable.

Currently without a Lotus, Evora 400 Hethel Edition in Racing Green with Red leather and 2010 Evora N/A in Laser Blue and 1983 Lotus Excel LC Narrow body in Ice Blue all sadly gone.

Silverstone had that up for sale about 18 months ago for £33k (don't know what it actually sold for). Obviously it had less miles and also had the original Anthracite Grey Forged Wheels. It's strange it doesn't have the boot cargo net although it has the Premium Pack.

Looking at the prices increasing in the UK for Elises and Exiges over the last few months I'm not surprised to see Evoras being dragged up to. Especially as very few new ones are entering the UK market as they are heading abroad due to the favourable exchange rate etc. I feel they hit their low price point about 6 months ago.

May be previous owner traded to a 400. Wish I'd removed mine from the N/A as having to buy a new one now. It's these weight saving measures. :lol:

Ha.  No, it never had it fitted there are no holes in the trim where the fittings would have gone.  Plus purchased before the 400 was announced
