    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    It seems on here many think that there are a high % of flippers and I feel thats not true. How many cars are for sale out of all of those delivered in the EU, 1 2 3 cars max and they are from dealers for the main part, who maybe didnt fill the slot or cancelled etc. No flippers I think, or...

    You know Im right, I will prove it in a few weeks :) the sales brochure colour always sells better...ask Doug M... Well the final price, albeit close to 90k, which was my low end estimate, is a real disappointment to all, or it certainly should be as it gives some small indication of things to...

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    but you are forgetting the basic principle..... people want that which they cannot have.... You cant get a new exige any more....... hence prices are strong. You cant get a new original defender anymore, hence prices are higher than they were new... When the Exige was still being made, it...

    would you? If you have an emira on order, you would be laughing at yourself in the future loosing quite a bit of money.... which is fine, I laugh at myself all the time.... but I'd rather not in this case :)

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    interesting to follow this at the same time.. harder market as German, different car, but very similar at the same time.. lower value in theory, but ... at the moment more movement and catching up.... The emira should do better of course, but the FE Exige 390 is a good car to hold on to...

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Yes we have to bear in mind that there are about 53 porsche dealers in the UK! They can sell each and every car they get allocated and when it comes to 911's and the special editions (the FE is supposedly a septic edition also), they can sell probably 7 to 8 to 10 times their allocation! There...

    Anyone who knows auctions, knows the last hour is when the serious people come on board, IF THERE IS SERIOUS INTEREST.... So yes its very possible the car will increase by 10k... so far, its mostly chancers that have bid. I predict 93-96k final price. Personally, although the custard fans will...

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    yes, as long as the bits in it are quality, if not...it will loose something for sure..... lets hope not

    UK deposit to order checkout to delivery process

    no..... just the latest last week..friday, I am on the delivery spreadsheet.... worrying they are using a spreadsheet instead of a data base, but never mind.. no date yet, but I am to a dealer, so they will hear before I do...

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    that is SUCH a good looking car for MY taste, classy, and time will not deminish it, although the 992.2 or following model generally does down ward swipe the previous model. EVEN in yellow it looks good. 45kilos lighter... come on..... its marketing... EMIRA looks great, it really does, but...

    Harry's Garage videos - visit to Hethel and Matt Windle interview, Emira collection and drive

    1. I got the impression some comments from this forum were purposely answered during the video and on the tour.... it seemed some how scripted, but fine... 2. 1000 miles...... thought it was a good bit less, but again, its really taken a little overboard I think. 3. By coincidence, his gear...

    INTERESTING...... I have driven all the cars you mention too, and one more in addition, thanks to a friend last week for the evora ;). Im not sure what you want from this thread, confirmation, opinions, sarcasm (I can do that all day long, this is why I am single and all alone in the world). I...

    hah.... i would not like spain to win..... I would like england to win, and with no one playing that well, it could be a good chance, but southgate needs to up his game.... not what I would call a tactical guru

    The off topic Porsche discussion thread

    I have to say, close to where my mom lives is a porsche dealer, a little famous for an attitude, although maybe its a bit better now and I have never had a problem myself. Then there is the one over at solihull and they are fine and friendly. I think it depends a bit on the dealer and the owner...

    My DV lotus arrived today!

    compared to the caterham, I have to say thats a pretty poor representation of a Lotus, albeit the 7 is a bit more box like making it easier.... and its also green, whereas the DV is clearly black.. haha

    The off topic Porsche discussion thread

    yes there are far more for sale now than a few months ago due to the weather.... I think some people have them for the 4 5 6 months and then sell, knowing they wont lose much, although through a dealer you will always lose a fair bit.

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    yes, by a clear porsche fan.... it could just be pure curiosity at this point for some..but thats enough to get prices high temporarily. Harryy's video later could make a few waves and increase the interest for a while also... until evo get it again and detract....again

    i dont think ive ever seen a spyder on the road... not a show or something... spyder looks way more special than a none spyder...and.....its convertible... just hard to do with a 10 year old interior.... although my current porsche has a much much older one.. hah

    Suspension: Touring and Sports options

    maybe.... but they charge more as there is more power and then there is that superiority feeling, you have the "S" and Im all over being superior... haha. The turbo on the S is technically quite different to the base and perhaps the breaks are better too, cant recall now, I didnt like the car...

    Dipped Lights , height level adjustment

    in my spanish ironic 5 and previous 718 S the lights were adjustable. In my moms ford fiesta, they are... I cant remember a main stream car I have had where the lights have not been adjustable... Maybe an evora owner can chip it....

    800 km... nice, get the car, use it... decide to move on.... free world. the CC car is still at the dealership in Nottingham it appears. We were told they had to move it....clearly not the case, although I am sure Lotus would like them to do so... still, next week it will be gone.

    ohh i see.... yes close to 80 and a dealer isnt paying that plus 5 6 k commission. Im still going for over 90..... and the next one on there the same, IF it isnt yellow or DV or grey.... going to be exciting, more so even than englands game on Sunday.. hah

    Suspension: Touring and Sports options

    Is it hard to question them, in this day and age? I know they have a good reputation, but other companies have caught up in the 15 odd years that Lotus has not developed a new car. Do we not think Porsche and others have not spent more money developing their steering and suspension than the...

    Well, Im not sure "they have changed their name" have they? I think its just another person haha. There are different grades of people that come on here. The chancers who fancy getting a car with no reserve for half the value, then those that see they can maybe make a few grand and aim to get...

    Suspension: Touring and Sports options

    yes I errrrr with you in this case, they dont mention cost, but its a big underlying factor for sure, as it is with every decision taken on the Emira, more so than with a Porsche let's say. As I mentioned previously, a Toyota employee at my track day showed me several auxiliary elements around...

    haha...Im not, but I have worked with many investment managers and they all seem to know everything, after the fact.. hah.. but well, lets not get personal.
