Interesting - they've driven it all the way to Ladybower reservoir (40ish miles) for the photos, must have been a nice little 'jolly' for one of the salesmen

The photographer is a member on here 👋

He had a great day out driving the car and taking the pictures for the dealership.

 

[Billyidoliser]

The deal is under way, and yes could end up with 2 Emira's! Its the wife's Birthday soon, maybe she would like one?

Fingers crossed it all works out for you, but I guess you're gonna miss that 430😥😥.

Magma price slashed by £5.5k wasn’t someone looking for a red one ?
Sellers reducing prices, could be a buyers market soon as people want to offload and not risk being stuck with car for months on autotrader.
Surprised the green on hasn’t gone

 

[AndySXV]

Yes it was me looking for one. The owner said he wouldn’t take less than £84k so I’ve just put a deposit on another one!

 

[Beady]

anyone trying to sell at over £85k must be a bit worried just now

Oh good stuff are you collecting soon …… have you gone for same colour Magma ? what interior have you plumbed for

 

[AndySXV]

Yes got a Magma with ice grey interior. No choice as it’s a cancelled order etc but I can have it next couple of weeks.

They are not selling at £83k! I think that speaks volumes.

Flippers - start crying! No sympathy.

 

[BeHappy]

some owners not keeping long used one with 1700 miles up for grabs at Synter Select at Northampton- verdant with tan leather wonder what traded against ….

Flippers - start crying! No sympathy.

Flippers don't buy Lotus! They have always depreciated heavily and have never been an "overs" car brand. Hence the Emira now available on Autotrader "under list"
Add the high interest rate and not many cars available to "flip" apart from GT Porsche and rare Ferraris.

Lotus usually have a very slow depreciation compared to most comparable sports cars and think the same will happen with the Emira. Imagine it will be very similar dep curve to a Porsche cayman GTS 4.0.

But yes, the last 2 years where basically everything went for overs has well and truly ended.

 

[New to Lotus]

Yes it's over but I do think the low depreciation on the evora was due to low production numbers there I already more emira for sale than evora?

There is the initial depreciation and then they keep reasonable money. Thats because they are low numbers. The Emira will not be low numbers, that's the worry.

Agreed, and the number is rising daily. There are move Emiras for sale now than Cayman 4.0 GTS and that car is 3 yrs old.

 

[Citizen]

You guys forget there a lot more demand for the emiras than evoras

??????

Where did you get that number from? - Auto trader alone has 24 Emira's versus 39 Cayman GTS or 65 GT4's which are supposedly even more rare.

The test drive cars were always going to come to market, I was told during my test drive that was the Lotus plan to keep the Demo car's fresh.
