How bad will the Emira depreciation be?

Not surprising:

I think what we see is inflation spiraling out of control. Bitcoin, gold, Boeing employee salary raises....it shows what is really going on in this world. People need to get rid of assets they don't need and get liquidity for rising bills and cost.

Exige V6 and Evora hold their value tremendously well...the Emira is an improved version of those according to same receipe, so should always trade north of those even though there are much higher numbers imo.

I hold on to my Emira...it's the best car for the money that I own. It's beautiful, its drives fantastic, and because it's a Lotus its different! I value all of those tremendously.

At least here in Germany you also have to differentiate:

At mobile.de there are 12 Emira V6 First Edition with manual for sale. All of them are at 90k€ or above with tendency to go above 100k€ for low mileage cars.

These are the most desired ones, then there are 9-10 V6 IPS variants with automatic transmission.

And the most cars are 2.0 DCT AMG engine with 55 cars on sale.

Conclusion, at least I'm not worried at all regarding resale value if you own a V6 with manual transmission. They will stay a rare sight and hold their value exactly like the Evora or Exige. Maybe even better because they were priced very competitively in my eyes at the beginning.
