How long till the £20k Evora?

[giveitfish]

lol, yes. Unfortunately that wouldn’t include me, this thread has been going so long that it’s nearly 5 years since I sold my Evora, let alone bought it!

In fact this time 5 years ago I was not long back from an epic 10 days in Europe with it

There's been a couple of CAT cars under £20k in the past year. Also some clean cars advertised at very low 20s that I suspect have gone for just under 20 if the low ball offers I'm getting for my 996 are anything to go on.

Bargain or money pit? Or both?!

MTC plate, local to Woking and an orange stripe?

Wonder if it's an employee or someone who couldn't afford a supercar!

It's a terrible advert to read, sounds like a scam, poor AI or translation.

One picture?

Well this one qualifies as it is (probably suspiciously) well under 20k.

Not suspicious at all!

Made to look like an SR. Looks good, is cheap. No interior pics. Wonder if it’s wrapped?

[Skyedriver]

Saw that a few moments ago and came on here to ask "are they really that cheap now".
Why am I wasting my time looking at other stuff like Excels at £10K when I could have an Evora for £16K?
There must be a catch surely.

Car prices have dropped of course, can't sell my Boxster for more than a couple of cans of beans.

I'm also sat in "stubborn mode" with my Caterham.

I know it's out of season and demand is low. But just having to make sure mine is the best proposition on the market and hope one day someone bites.

Had 3 viewings and test drives and 2 decided to "wait a bit" and 1 bought a more expensive newer one which I don't think I could've helped.

It's an absolutely horrendous time to be selling any sort of non essential item. There are very few genuine buyers of toy/second cars around at the moment. Just lots of time wasters who's hobby is pretending they are buying a car.

Reads like a lot of car ad now, AI generated guff that tells you nothing about the car, things like service history and so on.

Having said that, it looks nice in the pictures.

True.

However there are also a lot of sellers who seem to be pretending to sell a car as they don’t reply at all to enquiries. I enquired about a car that said the “interior is a bit tatty”, so I rang (voicemail) and emailed asking what they meant and could they describe what was needed or better still send a picture or two of the bits needing attention.

2 more calls and emails and not a hint of a reply, 3 months later the car is still for sale or car and classics.

I’m trying to sell it love, there’s just no interest.

[Skyedriver]

But if you've got a Capri 2.8i or a 3.0 Essex, and it's priced right, it'll sell in a few days I'm, finding.

[John Henry]

I e had my 87 2.8 since 1990. It’s done 55k. It’s in excellent condition as well. What is the right price for it these days?

'Priced right' is the key to anything though, a Capri is a popular choice for a classic(?) and the market is large but with more competition. I think they've still depreciated in the last year or so, like most things.
