Here is an S RHD that got lost in France if someone wants to bring it back to the UK. Feel like there could be a bit of value in that for the right person.

Not sure theres any money in it. That converts to about £42,000. All if not over its UK value really.

That really is top money for a 2010 car. I'd be happy if I could sell my 2012 IPS model for that !

Good job we are all different as then the cars would be all black interiors and greys on the outside. Might as well buy an Audi in that case then have a lobotomy so the pain of shame will not be felt as bad.... 

Offensive, much?

Back on topic and FWIW: Over the last six months there have been never more than 38 cars for sale on AutoTrader, never fewer than 29 with the average being low 30s. 

[C8RKH]

Only if you have the misfortune to have a grey Audi with the ubiquitous black interior 

It was actually on topic as it was addressing the interior colours and tones.  Lowest price right now on Autotrader is £32k for a 2010 with 47k miles in grey with charcoal grey leather interior. That's more than I paid for my 2010 NA 2 years ago with only 15k miles on the clock and a similar spec. It's a much higher spec now as I've upgraded and less than half the miles of the grey one at 23k miles so I'm happy with that valuation!

There is a very nice looking Launch Edition on their with 32k miles for £33k with the oyster interior which is one of my favourites.  It does look like £30k -£34k is the NA sweet spot for 2009-2012 cars, with the S around £3k-£4k more for the same age. The interesting thing is how the majority of the cars are "dealer" sellers as opposed to private. I would expect private sales to be circa £2k cheaper.

2013 cars, NA or S seem, to be around the £40k+ mark right now and the cheapest 400 on there is £56k.  

So, a £26k spread on the cheapest Evora NA to the cheapest Evora 400!  I still think an early but well looked after S1 NA is a smart buy for the money. With the change on the cheapest Evora 400 you pick up a superb Elise - so a DD and a weekend toy for £56k.  Now that is a good deal....

 

[DaveC72]

Suggesting that those of us with Grey cars and dark interiors should have bought an Audi has lit my blue touch paper.

And it was my inference that I'd taken it off topic.

[JAWS]

@DaveC72 it's all a matter of class ...

And not a black pack in sight.

[Bravo73]

Shame about the wheels...

 

 

[Stuno1]

Interesting reading about the black pack thoughts. Personally I would never have bought one wohout it. It breaks up the solid colour of the car and makes the shape stand out more imo and adds an aggressive look to the car. Each to their own. 

[C8RKH]

Very nice @JAWS and it would look crap with black wheels and also with the black pack in that colour. The silver wheels look great.  Do you have an Audi too?   

By the way did you fit the decat Jimbo and is it all good?  

@DaveC72 - I suspect you would have a DB9 over the Audi. They mostly seem to be greys with black interior too. Calm down now, twas only a joke as you all know how I hate Audi's.

Yes, I did not mean at sticker price. Don't think there is a real market in France for a RHD evora S on lowish mileage so 

On a separate note, I can't wait to get the delivery of my "Audi" evora with grey outside and black indoor.

Oi, pipe down. How are your wheels doing?

@C8RKH not fitted the decat pipe yet, seem to not had a free weekend or being tinkering with other things. However, plan is to get it done in time for Alps trip in June (plenty of tunnels there!). Got MOT this week so may get it done after that (don't have an Audi either)

A little taster of my new wheels:

Ooh. 

Moh pleaze.

[Alastair]

So going to go look at a car and noticed in pictures that the 19/20s although having Pirelli P Zerro tyres aren't Corsa tyres. Should this concern me, or is there no real world difference between the two types of Pirellis? Also if buying a "S" from a main dealer would it be reasonable to expect them to put it on the official Corsa tyres, or would they just sell it with whatever was on it when traded in?

 

My understanding is that Corsa tyres make big price difference but also concerned about the difference to how the car drives without them.

[theelanman]

the 19/20" tyres were always alot more expensive than the 18/19"......and I dont think there was any major difference between the PZero and the PZero Corsa

and I think youd be lucky to get new tyres if the ones they came with still had say about 3mm left...about twice the legal limit

[C8RKH]

Wouldn't be unreasonable at all @Alastair to expect a main dealer to put the "correct" tyres on. Wouldn't be unreasonable at all for said main dealer to add the price of doing that on to the price you pay for the car!

Buy it, drive the tyres till they are worn, then if you want to put the more expensive tyres on do so. You will get them cheaper than the main dealer would charge anyway most likely.  I doubt on the road you would see any difference at all but happy to stand corrected.

However, in my mind, if the previous owner was scrimping on tyres, what else was "scrimped" on?  All part of the research. I'm thinking about Michelin's next on mine based on if it is good enough for the 400.....

[PaulCP]

But then again, maybe the previous owner wasn't scrimping on the tyre choice. The Corsas grip better in the dry on track but the basic PZeros, IMO, are better in the wet. Hence why I run a set of 18/19 wheels with PZeros during the winter months.

[C8RKH]

Good point @PaulCP.

[Alastair]

Cheers guys. Will see how I get on when I look at the car

[Alastair]

Anyone got an opinion on the yellow "s" with black pack that's being advertised by Mansori on Autotrader.  Have a feeling I read something negative about it somewhere and now not sure if I'm mixing it up with another car.

Seems relatively low price for mileage versus other cars out there so bit suspicious!

[Alastair]

Re my last post - 6k miles and 2013, but 4 owners. What makes so many people move the car on so quickly?

[internets]

It's an MY11 with some MY12 updates but priced as a MY12, been talked about several times before.

[Bravo73]

Several £k overpriced and misrepresented. It has appeared on this thread at least twice before (when it went unsold for months/years). To be avoided. 

[Alastair]

Just gone back through the thread and found it. Will be giving it a miss.

 

Plan to check out the red cars at Oakmere and JCT600, however first impressions are they're overpriced?
