I wouldn't go near that cake. Mixing tyre types is never a good idea!

ps I don't know if Foxy knows this, but in his Evora he so impressed Dodge (ex vx'er and Caterham/Tuscan owner) to get rid of both of those and buy an Evora.

Orange Evora 400, almost purely based on his time out with you!

Went to buy an Evora which became looking for an S then grew into going the full hog and getting the 400.

Considering 2+0 was a no cost option, it really seems to hit values. Mileage is on the high side.

Looks about right to me. I paid £1k more, 2 years ago for a car with 25k mikes They really are deprecation proof.

Mine has 67k miles, I don't really see it as a deal breaker. Awesome cars you will love it! :wub:

I really do wish people would get basic facts correct before posting shite as defacto. The Evora original base spec was 2+0 with the +2 a cost option EXCEPT on the 2009 LE models that were fully loaded. The car mentioned above is under £30k due to miles and a perception re clutch issues. As an example I have just got more than that as px from a Lotus dealer for a 2010 NA +0 with 25k miles. Generally, for cars with good miles, good spec, and good condition £30k is the benchmark. I lost £1k on my car in 3 years and 10k miles based on my purchase price and trade in values. No complaints here.

That well know troll and champion of biscuit seats, Kenneth.

Some say he lives in the East and works for sinister government agencies.

Yet others say he arranged a twitter campaign that brought about the end of the Hillman Imp Owners Club and has now turned his eye to the Lotus Evora NA +0.

Where will it end?

:ninja:

Shows what I know! £1500 extra...
