Just looking over the prices of the Europas in the for sale section on Piston Heads and Westover Sports Cars have a 2006 Europa with power upgrade and 9,500 miles for £ 26,995. You have got to laugh at that.

Every one else is way cheaper and the os one for £ 20k. That's a £7k saving.

I think some dealers actually do their best NOT to sell cars for some strange and unknown reason.Some of the prices that they ask are ridiculous.

Went and had a look at that one for a friend. Very tidy car but as the op said massively over priced.

have a look at the used prices on Parkers, you will be amazed at how high they are for an 07 plate.

The 2nd hand Europa's are not expensive when you consider they are a lot of car for the money so the price tag of 23K-27K for say a year-18 moth old car is not bad and don't forget new cars have been re=priced lower.

True, but I think the OP was referring to one specific car for sale, rather than Europas (no apostrophe in plurals) in general...

The one below 20K is a one off at the moment as its a private sale and the guy seems pretty desperate to get shot, mileage is higher than the average for a Europa as well.

As for the dealers, when I bought my Europa I was offered finance (as you always are whether you want it or not!) On the PCP the residual values that Lotus were offering after 3 years on a Europa were HIGHER than those being offered on an Exige. So maybe the dealers are under some kind of informal instruction not too let them go cheap?

Also, the slating that people give the Europa on here, many without driving it, makes me laugh! Look at residuals on similar age / used Exige's they are hardly anything to write home about!!
