430 v 410

[ziggy328]

I’m looking to change from my 400. Definitely to a GT car so a 410/sport/430. What’s the consensus on the price differential from a 410 to a 430?

Looks to me about 30k. I know the are limited and lots of carbon but if you were buying the car to use. Would you stick with the 410?

I have a GT410 and it's a lovely GT car and fantastic to live with. I can't imagine 20bhp would make a great deal of difference to the performance, which is >190mph.

Not sure a 430 is a GT car, i think its the most hardcore of road legal Evoras

I love the 430, but I understand they have much higher running costs than regular Evoras, (according to Lotus Silverstone), apparently a much more onerous servicing schedule etc

I drove both back when they were released, the big difference for me was the way the 430 drove on its Ohlins suspension, for £30k delta price I’d have the 410 and do an Ohlins upgrade.

Never driven any other Exige than my 430. What I can say, the 430 is a rocket

But the op is buying an Evora!

I was trying to make the man maths work on this GT430, apparently he's looking for £74k, which looks not far off 410 prices?
The only other GT430's currently on the market are at Silverstone Lotus and both over £90k from what I can see?

I'm holding off a purchase for now, to see what's going to happen with pensions / CGT in next months budget.
I've already massively increased my potential spend, was originally looking for another S1 111S!
