Hi

Anybody know this Evora? The main title is wrong, not an S by the rest of the details -

I'd pay £4k more and buy their white one with 1/3 of the mileage. You'll see most of that back come resale whereas the grey one will roll over 80k miles in no time and be a bugger to ever sell.

Thanks, the car is unlikely to be sold for a VERY long time, but certainly a consideration.

Think I probably need to save a bit longer.

Plus still arguing Cayman versus Evora (apologies and await a barrage of abuse!). The non exploding 987 Cayman's fit neatly into the same price bracket as this. Still need to get a test drive in an Evora to really compare.

It’s my old car. Nothing really wrong with it.

Thanks for getting back.

Was going to look at it Friday whilst on a days holiday. Got called by work. Missed it.

Hey ho. Will keep looking.

What are your preferences and budget ?

I had a hell of a time finding mine, you may find someone on here can point you to a car.

Evora NA 2+2 (might settle for a 2+0 if the right one came along)

Currently the budget is £15K, rising as I clear off existing loans.

If the right one came along at the right money I could currently go higher but it would have to be a "unmissable bargain"

By Spring I am hoping to be in the £25-30K region


Partly why I have also been looking at Cayman's, could get the new toy earlier!


I shall keep looking. When I have a more realistic budget I will look a lot harder.

Is the £15k a typo? Because at that price, you won’t find an Evora anywhere. Not even a starship mileage, cat c/d car. You would even struggle to find a crashed car at that price.

Your £25/30k level is much more realistic.

Like I said, rising as I clear loans and could stretch further for an unmissable bargain.

If you’ve ‘only’ got £15k, you should be looking at Elises, I’m afraid.

Already done the Exige thing. Guess I am going to have to wait until spring unless another 100k one comes up over the winter then.

Thanks.

I’m still not sure where you’re getting your pricing from, I’m afraid.

There was a 100k Persian Blue car that sold a couple of times last year for £24k+. That’s still a long way away from £15k...

(Have a look through the ‘How long until a £20k Evora? thread below. We’re nowhere near £20k, let alone £15k!)

I am not getting my pricing from anywhere, all I have said is what I currently have and what I expect to have.

I currently don't have enough, I expect to have enough for a lower end car later on.
