Lotus Emira

[Matty]

Briefly peaked at 99 Emira's for sale on AT over the weekend apparently.

Also, quote from SELOC
"Out with a friend who buys and sells to the trade, he just bought a 22 Emira with just under 8k miles for 53500. So potentially under £50k by summer for sure."

@Jobbo like I said, rock solid residuals

They’ll surely end up in the teens eventually? I see more Emiras in a week in London than I see all the other Lotus models ever made in over a month. They must have already produced more of them than other Lotus ever?

I remember how much my Elise depreciated in 3 years. It would now be worth close to its new RRP. V6 manual Emiras must surely be desirable when all new cars are EVs? And they don’t actually make very many so surely they’ll be valuable in future?

Or are they simply not special enough… I’ll find out tomorrow.

35000 Elises were produced over 25 years, just over 6500 Evoras over 11 years, and they sold 3500 Emiras last year with a target of 6000 this year.. should certainly be more choices second hand, not so confident about future values
