Low(er) mileage LE vs high(er) mileage S...
Discussion
Hi all,
Looking at buying an Evora. I'll probably keep it for three years. It's a second car but I'd like to put 5k miles on it each year.
The best of what I have been offered:
£30k for a LE (so NA), needs a little bit of work (minor cosmetics and suspension), no clutch yet, 32.5k miles.
£35k for an S, VERY well sorted - recent clutch, lots of work carried out recently, cosmetically excellent. 65k miles.
RIGHT NOW the S is the better option, clearly. What concerns me is resale value - if I do my planned mileage I am looking at selling a 47k mile NA Evora, or an 80k mile S... With Evora's generally being pretty low mileage cars I worry I might not be able to sell the 80k mile car very easily.
I know the logic is often 'just buy what you want now, enjoy it, stop worrying about selling it' but if it loses £10k then that's £10k less of car I can buy next time, and there's other things I want to own.
Where do you think the money should be going?
