Now that is a bonkers asking - almost 50% markup! - fat chance….

 

[T.Spec]

Slades are pretty much SOR for most of their stock so doesn’t matter what they put it up for. I know they deal for much less than the sticker price.

It's a strange world... always somebody willing to pay.

GT3 was originally at about £100k overs though a more desirable car, it does show the extent of a passionate buyer's must-have mentality.

its not just for cars.... for anything you cant readily get your hands on, and desire.... watches, houses in the right school district, paintings, antiques, the list is endless........
Yes a GT3 cant be compared as it really is sold at a very low price in the UK compared to other markets, it is sold below its actual value, hence people happy to pay over that to get it "used".. but the evora is not really in the same league...or case...
but...I for one hope people pay and pay well... .
Anyway, Im sure this thread was meant to be just adds..and no comments

This offer is new: an immediately available Emira V6 man FE with just delivery kms, never really driven, 124.899 EUR incl. 19 % of German VAT (stated in the text). In Germany there is no luxury tax, so the profit would be about 25.000 EUR (gross) if it will be sold as it is advertised. The photos should be real (Komotec number plate holders).

Must be selling it to fund the purchase of some weed killer...

Will be interesting to see where this one lands at end of the auction….

The yellow one mentioned on Collecting Cars is the same car that was in the Nottingham dealer. Was chatting to them after my test drive last week and Lotus basically made them move the car off their site, hence why the chap has put it up on collecting cars.
I've got one the same ready for delivery but my circumstances have changed since putting a deposit down. It's a big risk taking delivery of the car for a small return. I'd love to take delivery and make a few k (without being greedy!), but I feel like it is too risky. None of the big brokers wanted it when I called them.

There is a bit of a difference in what you are describing here;

Appreciating assets and depreciating assets. Houses, certain watches, paintings of value, certain antiques etc. all generally appreciate over time. These are investments.

Cars for the vast majority end up in junk yards. Save for the very few that have collectible appreciation. Even the GT3 will come down in price with more miles on the clock. A 50K mile GT3 won't sell for over 100K MSRP anymore.

Really none wanted to buy the Emira? Did they say why?

well....lets see Mr Toronto...
MOST paitings and MOST watches are crap.... so they dont appreciate at all and no one appreciates them..
I am talking about a select few cars and comparing them to a select few watches and paintings etc....
the collecting cars car is already at 70k.....

it will go to at least 90 I am sure...
I would buy it myself for 75 and I already have one coming...

They told me no current demand, plus they had heard of cancellation orders.

Tried Harley's, Top 555, Alexanders Prestige, GVE London, no bites

The car market is always low at this time of the year, Due to that possibly ? But sure current climate doesn't help and dealers being cautious.

£71500 after only 4 hours! Still 7 days to go haha!

Yes most watches & paintings are crap. I assumed you were talking about the watches and paintings you would find at a Sotheby's auction... But I digress, I don't have a dog in this fight anyway.

I will add, being a staunch capitalist, I hope you guys make as many pounds as possible. The higher the price the better for us soon to be Emira owners and Lotus. I can see 90K for the first few.... On the flip side I hate seeing people loose money, hence my hesitation on saying it is a good investment. At least drive it a bit and use the machine if your not getting the price you want.

I hope to keep my Emira until it becomes an antique... or maybe I will be an antique by the time I get it....
