Inventory Growing!

I’ve been looking at cars.com and Autotrader for 3 months now and it went from 37 available Emiras to now 140 Emiras for sale… I know some are in the $90k territory but I’m wondering when the major influx of cars are shipped in the coming months what are thoughts on us being more like the UK market where Emiras are starting in the upper $60k prices?

upper $60s? I highly doubt it and hopefully that's not the case either lol

I paid MSRP for my brand new FE 1.0 MV6 Emira. Would still like one of these, but I wouldn't "LOVE" it. This one is mine.

I wouldn’t mind it dropping as $90k’s is a stretch for me but completely understand the desire to keep prices up. Just surprised with how UK has half the cars for sale and we are just now really getting them coming in to USA. If cars.com starts to get 200+ Emiras for sale, I can only assume the prices will dip into the $80k’s?

It went from 138 yesterday night to 144 by this morning Emira's available. Does anyone know how many are being shipped monthly to the US? I thought I saw they are ramping up production and will produce over 40K Lotus cars worldwide but thats all models to the world which is a huge increase but not sure on how many specific Emira's to USA this coming year.. If prices keep falling, I will jump in one on my price target for low $70's. If not I will stick to an early Evora which is all I can afford right now..

I don't see a low mileage Emira dropping into the price range you are describing in the next few years unless something really cataclysmic happens to the US economy. If you want to get into a car like this in the price range you prefer, I suspect an Evora is going to be the way to accomplish it. Alternatively, if you wait long enough some Emiras will get enough mileage on them to drop in price, though how much is unknown.

I dont get it, we only have 10 V6 manual cars available in the whole country (switzerland). And the prices stay strong (more or less). In my state (out of 26 in switzerland) there are only 2 (!) Emiras registered and one of them is from a dealer…

Agree that maybe not Low $70's anytime soon but the Scotsdale used Emira can be had for $85K if anyone is interested. They would not go any lower for me on that red Emira. It's still about $10K from my price point but there is definitely movement down from where they were just two months ago. My guess is some used ones will be around low $80's by summer or earlier if more continue to show up on the online car sale websites.

keep in mind that new cars arriving sometimes get automatically placed on auto trader by the dealer for sale but are actually sold customer units. Prices should come down a bit, but I would be surprised to see cars below 85K USD - unless above average miles.
