Used Car of the Day: 2021 Lotus Evora GT

by Tim Healey

Published: March 13th, 2023

Today's used car of the day is not going to be cheap.

Yes, it's a 2021 Lotus Evora GT, and not surprisingly, it will cost you.

It will cost you, alright -- almost 100 grand. Ninety-eight thousand dollars, to be precise.

There are only a tick over 3,000 miles on the clock, and the car has a manual transmission and an Alpine stereo with a subwoofer and an amp. This is one of the few cars we'll feature on UCOTD that is still under factory warranty.

If you've got the scratch and this car is your type of thing, give it a look here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I'll take the red Esprit instead.

  This is why I don't show other cars in the ads of the car I'm selling.

I suspect from reading things by people who have actually driven these that the driving experience is beyond sublime... if you have either a track or a mythical empty, curvy canyon road close at hand.

In the real world where I live, this is just going to be a more expensive and painful way to do the same sort of driving that I can do in my $18k used BMW.

  Definitely need a good track where you can really open up on it from time to time. I imagine it would be frustrating to be stuck in slow traffic or blocked by left lane parkers in such a car.

  It is important to not think about those things. 😅

  I've driven one, it's a reasonably comfortable, painstakingly tuned race car that you can tolerate all day or all week. And the s/c V6 sounds great.

ToolGuy This podcast was pretty interesting. I listened to it this morning, and now I am commenting. Listened to the podcast, now commenting on the podcast. See how this works? LOL.
VoGhost If you want this to succeed, enlarge the battery and make the vehicle in Spartanburg so you buyers get the $7,500 discount.
Jeff Look at the the 65 and 66 Pontiacs some of the most beautiful and well made Pontiacs. 66 Olds Toronado and 67 Cadillac Eldorado were beautiful as well. Mercury had some really nice looking cars during the 60s as well. The 69 thru 72 Grand Prix were nice along with the first generation of Monte Carlo 70 thru 72. Midsize GM cars were nice as well.The 69s were still good but the cheapening started in 68. Even the 70s GMs were good but fit and finish took a dive especially the interiors with more plastics and more shared interiors.
Proud2BUnion I typically recommend that no matter what make or model you purchase used, just assure that is HAS a prior salvage/rebuilt title. Best "Bang for your buck"!
Redapple2 jeffbut they dont want to ... their pick up is 4th behind ford/ram, Toyota. GM has the Best engineers in the world. More truck profit than the other 3. Silverado + Sierra+ Tahoe + Yukon sales = 2x ford total @ $15,000 profit per. Tons o $ to invest in the BEST truck. No. They make crap. Garbage. Evil gm Vampire
