Very nice !

Keep your eyes peeled in TK Maxx toy section as they seem to have bought a job lot of die cast Evoras in that colour and they are only £6.99

Enjoy "...

Yes i specifically wanted a red one when i started looking at them last year, the gloss black alloys also adds to the look, wouldn't rule out a burnt orange one though after seeing it in the flesh, think brighter colours suit the car well!

It's for sale already after a month ownership.

Probably not a bad car, its not unheard of for people to buy and sell a car quite quickly or even place hardly any miles on between buying and selling in the advert Jimmy says he needs to consolidate his cars to accommodate his families needs.

But what a car to own even for a Month, good man for trying thats what I say smile

Thinking of buying one myself so would be good to understand Jimmy's ownership experience albeit a brief one.

Maybe he has had too many Porkers and values other elements about cars rather than the purer drive?...either that or he has some serious personal issues...does seem rather sudden though? I seem to remember on another thread that were a few annoying issues with the car,... maybe the dealer has not been too proactive?

Jimmy didn't buy his car from a dealer. The previous owner was a private individual in Scotland...
Incidentally, he's asking the same money for it as the previous owner did wink

My guess is that the kids wouldn't fit in the back, or he's suffered from some other SWMBO pressure... nonohehe

I am sure Jimmy will speak for himself, but looking at his previous ownership patterns within his garage he keeps a car for less than a year and some for only a few months good luck to him so nothing unusual for Jimmy to sell a car after having it for a short period of time if he gets pleasure for owning then selling a car good luck to him as I say I am sure he will be along soon

Agreed, mine was bright yellow, now owned by Boggy. Love the front end shots.

I think the car is a 2+ 0.

Ok, just read this, was expecting something!! Just to clear things up, there is nothing wrong with the car, it wasn't my car that had the niggles, that was Boggo's. I'm just not sure I can tie up so much money in a car that only I can use going to work and back as with two young kids I'm getting little to no spare time to enjoy it. SWMBO also is not keen on it so that does carry a bit of weight but wouldn't determine if I keep it or not. I really am in two minds on what to do but don't want to leave it too long as once winter starts coming I imagine the desire for these cars lessens. Also note the advertised price is actually £500 cheaper than what the previous owner asked for it.
I enjoy driving the car when I get chance and the positive reaction from other car minded people makes a nice change from the common reaction to Porsches.

Its right what someone has already pointed out, I do have a habit of changing cars quickly so this is not un heard of for me, I don't make money on them but always try not lose too much. This resulted in my last Boxster costing me nothing to run for 8 months driving with the exception of fuel. If I have this for 2 months and get my money back it sure beats renting a Ford Focus, although going all the way to Scotland to collect is a bit extreme!!

Anyway sorry if I have offended anyone advertising the car so soon after buying it but sometimes that's life!!! Happy motoring!!!!!!!

I think its because we are all a bit hooked on our cars and were in disbelief as to how someone could sell such a good car so quickly...but yes equally why not own desirable cars for a short period and work your way though them....especially if it does not cost too much?
Quite right its no ones business really, but you can`t help wonder what's up?
