Auto loans: the 2018 Lotus Evora
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Lotus Evora for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2018 Lotus Evora is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Evora
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
Its 3.5L 6-cylinder supercharged drives through a 6-speed automatic. 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 36 litres, from its 12.0 L/100 km rating. Every 100 km costs about $21 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Space, size and seats
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. At 170 litres, the trunk fits about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Evora is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $210 at our price setting.
Talk to a person
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
