Is it me or do there seem to be an ever reducing number of Evoras on the market? Prices seem to be holding up with none now anywhere near £30k on auto trader. Dealer who sold me mine a few months ago seems low on stock and forums are full of people getting Evoras. Could low supply be due to production line stopping temporarily due to the sale of Lotus to DRB Hi com perhaps, or is the upturn in the weather responsible for increased demand? Both? Either way, good news.

I think they have just hit a price point where more people can either afford, or justify buying them.

Good to see the used ones moving though smile

I think there was a perception they were overpriced...the second hand Market adjusted prices accordingly. I think the perception now is they are good value:-)hence they r shifting

I've come from driving a mercedes, audis, an Alfa Romeo ...my last car was an exige. So apart from the exige most of my cars have been mainstream manufacturers. I test drove a few Porsche before buying an evora. Im very happy with the car though it's early days:-) feels very special each time I drive it:-)

It would be interesting to see what all those owners traded up to (or down) once their Evora's hit the second hand market. Is it a case that the novelty has worn off and they have gone back to the mainstream (Porsche maybe), given up on sports cars altogether or have they gone for a newer (higher spec) Evora?

I know of a couple up here in Scotland who have gone for another Evora and one or two desperately waiting for Lotus to announce the Evora Cabrio - anyone else out there who has swapped their Evora for another one?

maybe Lotus being in trouble + rare underrated car = people thinking Sagaris times for Evora?

Many Evoras that hit the market and appear to be second hand have come from the factory as ex management cars...pretty much any Lotus with an AU or AO number plate (though obviously not all)...so maybe not that many people have traded up/down, or certainly fewer than you'd think. One guy on here did trade in an Aston for an Evora though.
