Possible buyer- not yet convinced

[rbags]

Help required on a small matter.

I have wanted an Evora S practically since they came out and I am now in the position to buy one. The only problem is that I live in the darkest depths of Cumbria and my nearest Lotus dealer is in Cheshire (an hour and a half away). What happens with servicing and breakdowns, will my local garage be able to help or should they be avoided? What happens when I sell it on (unfortunately the wife mentioned the 'B' word last week for the first time), would I have to take the part ex hit? I used to own an Elise when I lived in Edinburgh and had to visit Murray Lotus a number of times and I'm therefore a little wary that problems may arise from time to time.

Please stop me from buying an RS3 or a Cayman!!
