Looks pretty good. That is my first choice of color. After 18k I'd guess the major kinks were already worked out. I like the price too. Still, I have no info on that particular car. Maybe other recognize it?

This car has been for sale for a while now.

Now at $43k, but starterd at $49k, love the colors, but wondered if anyone knows anything about the car?
if you click on the Autocheck Icon it shows the VIN, If you like I can pull a Autocheck history on it tomorrow? not sure how much that will tell you as it's only as good as who reports on the vehicle ( there's no mandatory reporting for Carfax or Autocheck ). it's no cost for me to do it, so I would be more than willing to pass it on if interested.

Not that it matters but it does not have the premium pack as evident by the lack of arm rest and the partial cloth interior which is noticeable on the rear seats. (I kinda like it that way too). Most likely color is the reasoning behind low price since it's priced considerable less than anything out there with more miles. If you're serious about the car, call them up but do your due diligence.

it's also missing the sport pack..and due to that, I would check to see if it has the close ratio gear box as well. Though not absolutes, IMHO I wouldn't own an Evora without either (if applicable)

For 43K you probably can't go wrong IF after doing your due diligence nothing alarming pops up. Hell, thrown them a 40K offer, but even at 43K it seems like a good deal if there's no problems with it.

Wow... Just done some research on the dealer, I have never seen such bad reviews:

BBB rated them F but they have now even lost that rating & Cars.com

Looks like they buy auction cars & only get them up to a drivable standard when a buyer is interested. I did a drive-by, seems to be a lot of younger folks selling & repairing the cars. Still the Evora did look nice...

As a local that went to see an XK coupe there a few years back, I have to think the same punks that buy the junk cars also wrote the reviews. Call Secor and ask them about their last 2011 which is Chrome Orange, mint and priced to move! They say 63 but I'll bet you throw 50 at them its gone!

That dealer is 10 minutes from me. They buy cars from auctions routinely. If you're going to base your life decisions on nothing more than online reviews you won't get very far. I suggest someone look at it or maybe ask me to look at it if interested! The XK I looked at was pristine! Even if it had a bumper repair it was expertly done and I looked car over carefully. BRG is a quintessential color to own!!

Looks like a rare, basic car with no options. That would explain it being ~7500 less than an LE.

This car went through a manheim auction about 6 months ago. I remember looking at the condition report and watching it go through auction. They gave it a 3.6 on a scale of 5.0. There was paintwork on the car and some interior nitpicks. It didnt seem like a GREAT car but wouldnt be a bad driver. However I wouldnt pay more than $38k for it myself.

LIke I said, this is what these auction folks buy. Cars that needed a bumper repair, etc or are higher mileage. They probably got it for ~35 and are trying to make a few bucks. Shouldn't be a difficult color to match and not knowing an Evora interior, there is no such thing as a 5/5 car for 2010.
