Not so far, if anything they've firmed up. Look at the average price for an Evora on auto trader or pistonheads.

I was looking at a R model for under £30000 a 6 months ago, the same car is around £35000 now.

From Pistonheads.

As previously discussed, it'll be a 'Targa' style roof with two removable carbon fibre panels weighing just 3kg each. They'll be quick to remove and easily stored behind the front seats, promises Gales. Think new Boxster Spyder levels of faff here in that it'll require a little more manual labour than many are used to. With a similarly focused and appealing pay-off, we hope. Mechanically it'll be identical to the Evora 400, with comparable weight and performance, but it'll have a style and look of its own thanks to an entirely new rear clam.[/color]

Not read it, but does it just say 'Don't'?

[KurtVerbose]

It says: -

 

there aren’t any rust issues to worry about 

 

Hmmm.

Sorry, it was this pic I wanted.

They aren't to worry about though, they hold the arch liner in

After seeing them perform at the national yesterday I must say they look very tempting!

[CocoPops]

Hugely underrated but pretty impressive on track right

Heard that comment a few times yesterday 😄😄

[p4cks]

Pick my NA up tomorrow

[JG]

Wooop! Congrats. (You'll be onto an exige v6 in no time) Oh and foxy was a second quicker in my old Evora na, than I was in my SC vx at the national

[jonnyboy]

Thing with evoras and the v6 it's the old thing of its a 70 to 80k retail car now. Big boys toys as I call them and 3k is probably the worst bill you can get. That is actually pretty good. I did more than that in looking after my Cayman last year. Goes with the territory it's just a bit different from running the VX on a 5er.

[C8RKH]

Still got my Evora NA and my VX220 NA. Life is a real bitch sometimes, especially when I need to choose which one to drive.

 

2.5 years of ownership for the Evora. No major issues or problems. It just goes (as long as I remember to not drain the battery by leaving it standing for too long - same bloody issue with the VX but that takes even less time to drain the battery standing!).

 

Both cracking cars. Both cheap to run. Both huge smile inducing grinners of a car.

 

As Mr. Nike would say. Just do it!

Indeed, but in respect of running them on a fiver...

 

I remain massively impressed how well they perform on track out of the box.  Pembrey is a handling circuit, where outright grip gives you the times.  Simon had bolted on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups.  He may care to share the cost?

£1060 and looking at the state of them there my only be one more trackday left in them. Won't be doing that again in a hurry!

[CocoPops]

Interesting. To be fair, a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S (replaces the Pilot Super Sports) are £828, so the stickier Cup2 aren't "that much more expensive). However, if you are comparing 19/20 tyres to a VX, then yes it is a more expensive car to tyre... however this ties in with Jon's point about not running an Evora on a fiver like a VX.
