Guys

Possibly in the market for an Evora S, this looks like relatively good value....thoughts?

Looks good.

The kicker is that it doesn't have Tech (no cruise/reverse camera), which might make resale trickier. However, it can be retro-fitted without too much difficulty, so don't let it put you off entirely if everything else checks out.

Cruise only costs a couple of hundred quid to retrofit. I wouldn't worry about reverse camera, most don't have it and should not make it more difficult to sell. Car looks v.nice.

How do you retrofit tech pack / cost?

Also, what is resale ease like on these?

Qu2 - once you have driven it, properly, you won't be worrying about it smile

They're not easy cars to sell. It's a narrow market with limited supply - however they hold their prices well, it's just about finding the right buyer.

Many disagree, but I'd personally look for 2+2 and Sport/Tech as minimum. If you can get premium, even better although it's fairly rare and not essential. Even if you don't use the rear seats, a few people buy them as you can fit your kids in the back if needed, so it's a small perk.
