Auto loans: the 2017 Lotus Evora
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 Lotus Evora for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2017 Lotus Evora, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 3 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and suspension. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
The 3.5L 6-cylinder supercharged with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 12.0 L/100 km combined, so budget about 36 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $21 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Evora
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. At 57 litres, the trunk fits about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the Evora tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $210 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
