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.

  "In the real world"
  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.

Jkross22 The CX9 we leased and will be returning soon smelled like a dentist's office for the first 2 years. Big Dental must have paid dearly for that.
Tassos BP investing in enhancing people’s right to free travel sounds like a good thing. I wonder how the regressive cognitive decline crowd will interpret it though.

I don't know about interiors because no one I know has a caddie.The world does not need another BMW. Not everybody is in sales. Cadillac could be selling cars to all of us Boomers, who remember the large Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Mercuries, etc., of yesteryear and their comfort and, yes, style of a sort.
Tassos Back in my day, Nissans were the choice for forward-thinking, progressive folks who appreciated quality and innovation. But now? Seems like they're just for those who can't afford better. It's a shame to see a brand with such promise become the go-to for the budget-conscious (POORS!) crowd. Makes you wonder what happened to standards and aspirations. Guess you can't expect much from a generation that thinks a Nissan is a status symbol.
MaintenanceCosts The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is actually doing what Cadillac ought to do to the XT5. Giant wraparound screen, very showy interior with fancy materials, new emphasis on quiet.
