Because this seems very, very good. What was Uly’s take on Evora ownership?

If the new Supra never comes out as a manual, I am probably going to pick up one of these next.

I’d love a used S as a “45K supercar” and its still on my list because I’ll never be a finnicky rich guy, but this scared me pretty good:

I don’t know about depreciation but there sure are a bunch with salvage titles.

Totaled due to body damage, I assume?

I can’t imagine repairs are cheap

A lot but still not enough. I’m guessing the challenge for buyers is that the NA engine cars are probably not significantly cheaper than the supercharged ones so theee is temptation to move up the line.

I’ve been peeking at them recently. You get a lot more car than the Elise for not that much more money. Elise holds value much better in the US.

However, the automatics are basically warmed over camry transmissions and that’s not good.

The body has Lotus issues - a fender bender will total it because of the way it’s constructed.

1. Buy a salvaged Evora

2. Strip body panels

3. Track the hell out of it

4. ???

5. Uh, profit?

Recently spent a few hours browsing classifieds for Evoras (for no good reason). Really like the idea of a NA reliable sports car, but its just not that lightweight nor that powerful.

I think the Elise still wins out until I can afford an Evora 400

Haha - doesn’t anything we do here have a good reason?
