Lotus Elise Final Edition

[CMacC]

Man Maths Question - I've been looking to replace my VX220 since selling it to free up some cash.
I've been looking at used elise 111r and VXT's, but reading about the final edition Elise on PH this morning got me wondering, could I make a finance case to taking the plunge on one on finance? Based on previous, I'd expect to cover 3k miles per year, based on keeping it for 3 years, do you think I'd lose much on mi initial £50k investment?

I don't think they'll depreciate much. My dealer told me my 250 is worth more than when it was new 2 years ago.

Think you’ll lose very little - the biggest problem may be that you won’t want to sell it after 3 years...

I wouldn't consider that a problem!! Unfortunately, as I grow my business, luxuries like summer cars tend to be the first casualty any time I need to free up cash! Thats why the VX was sold, and if I have to sell this down the line, I don't want to lose a fortune!!

It will loose money but an earlier S2 like a 111r or a cup wont and will be cheaper apart from not having any finance packages so depends what you want?

There isnt much differnce on the final edition over earlier 240 250 supercharged cars saying that ive not looked at these prices recently as most stuff has risen afew K over the last year or so
