Hi - I'm new to the forum and I am hoping for some advise.
I currently have an evoque and would like swap it for an evora and a commuter car, currently a 55 plate Saab 93 aero auto is looking good which will leave me with c£32-33k for the evora.

So my question - should I wait for an evora with premium pack, or just get one without and then get the dash, seats etc re trimmed next year, along retrofited heated seats? Thinking £2k should cover it....

Any advise would be appreciated!

Thanks for all the advise guys. Just took out a 2010 with premium pack and it was nice, but with 40k on the clock there were quite a few scuffs.

Can you tell me how different the interior of a 2011 none premium car would be - where is leather missing, Is it just the rear seats and lower door - wondering if I should consider a newer one with the less mileage but no premium pack and get it retrimmed. Especially as I found a place in Manchester that will fit heated seats, but the switch will be on the lower part of the seat, not using the Oem switches.

Cheers
BB

I've just seen this one I like the spec and price, but I've not seen this colour in real life - what's the general consensus (ignoring that colour choice is very subjective....)

Also, how hard has it been for owners to source the forged alloys - do they need to come
From lotus as I'm guessing that's rather pricey.....

Hey - thanks for the insight. I may still go and see it as I've only tried 2 cars so far and that was a £45k car and well out of budget, and the other 1 wasn't for me.

I'm pretty resound to it being a long process now - shame I missed out on the grey one at murrays, it was perfect!

One has just come up on eBay - a white one with 40k on the clock. Could be interesting, but I do prefer the grey or silver if I was to be picky! wink
