Buying a lotus, should I be worried, would you be?

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Simple fact is, an evora really should be my next car. It does everything that I need & is perfectly suited.

Apart from the fact that I'm worried that this time next month they'll be bankrupt & my car will have no warrenty & be worth peanuts.

Views?

A few points, re the evora, I have driven one & it's the best handling car I've driven in years it really is that fantastic.

The point about lotus always being in the st, well yes they kind of have, but this time it looks like they're on the brink. Not paying suppliers? I'm not sure how they intend in building more cars if that's the case.

As kambites says what are the other options, they may not be bland or German but then they may not be as stupendously fantastic as the lotus evora.

But, if they do go under who wants to be stuck with an obsolete car with limited parts availability & no warrenty?

Have you ever actually heard of parts availability being a problem when a manufacturer goes under? I don't think I have.

I'm not sure, I think I just assumed it with a low volume seller like lotus, what was the situation like with tvr?

I would ask the cost for replacing the clutch, as these cars are getting to that second hand milage point where the clutch might need replaceing it might be worth checking.

Apparently they are extremely expensive to change, not sure how many miles is average for one to last however?
