Exige Sport 410’s Selling Well

[Juno]

I’m new to Lotus and surprised since I bought my 410 how well they are selling. It now seems the only sub 70k car is the 2019 at Hoffman’s with almost 8000 miles on it

Mind you with the amount of fun they give for the buck maybe I shouldn’t be surprised

I’m pleased I bought some 6 weeks ago when there was more choice!

There are a few brand new 410’s that have been for sale for a good few months. Stock 420 FE’s are now hitting dealerships and all are priced well over 80k. If there are no longer any discounts I think they may struggle to shift them at least until full details of the Emira are released.

The price of used cars is on the increase so I don't think they'll hang around much longer.

The 410’s with 85-87k price tags look a bit expensive, it seems the ones in the late 60’s to mid 70’s are the ones moving quickly

It will be interesting to see how the final 420’s are received and at what price the 410’s will finally find new owners

Either way I can’t stop smiling every time I drive it

Yeah, wish I’d have pressed go on that autumn gold car at 66k during lockdown in some ways…..

Wonder what impact the emira will have one it’s all out in the open on what exactly it is

Yes that Autumn Gold car was a good buy even though they wouldn’t budge on price,I got lucky with the Crazy Purple one for similar money so not complaining but there’s not so much choice about now

Some say the Emira will be 105k staring price but keen to see it

Did that with my Alfa QF. Ordered as soon as the books opened. Best car I've ever owned and miss it deeply.

Interesting that you say that as I have short listed a few cars for my next, one is an Exige (probably 350) and one of the others is an Alfa QF. 2 completely different cars but I am just not sure what I want. I have had a few Elises including a Honda k20 sc Elise so heart is leaning Exige but head is saying Alfa, would like to do a few track days per year and could rent a Caterham for that with a mate, car is for weekends and road trips mostly, is the Alfa special and fun enough? I've been following and enjoying your Exige posts so you seem to be the guy to ask!

I’ve got pretty wrapped up in it and of all the cars I’ve had the smiles per mile are never ending

If you can overcome the obvious shortcomings of space and entry/ exit everything else for a fun use car is more than spot on

Having just come out of a 991GT3RS WP I find the LOTUS lacks nothing and delivers as many grins if not more!

Yes the RS is fantastic but not 3-1/2 times more fantastic when you compare the price

My friend drove mine and immediately bought one (410) he can’t stop driving it and now says he finds his Yaris GR dull as is his Ballboni

I guess that says a fair bit about how we are finding them

There are a couple of very nice V6 Cups for sale,they look a very good buy
