When discussing the Lotus Evora price, it is important to understand how depreciation shapes the used market. Here’s a realistic overview of the typical depreciation curve for this sports‑car icon:
- First year: A newly released or new 2012 Lotus typically loses between 15–20% of its value. So, a 2012 model that originally sold for £35,000 may be found in the 2013 market between £27,500 and £29,750.
- Second year: Depreciation slows to around 5–8% per year. In this stage, a car may drop another £1,400–£2,800 from its post‑first‑year price.
- Third to fifth year: The annual bleed typically falls within 3–4%. During this period, the Evora’s value stabilizes but continues to decline steadily.
- Beyond five years: A well‑maintained model will generally see about 8–10% depreciation annually. Even these newer years still retain strong resale value due to Lotus’s reputation for durability and low running costs.
These numbers represent *average* depreciation patterns for automobiles with high-performance profiles. The actual Lotus Evora 2012 price in any given region can differ based on mileage,
