Lotus Emira

The Lotus Emira is trading near US$89,500 on the secondary market, roughly 5 percent below its FX-converted list price of US$94,000, reflecting typical early depreciation for a modern sports car with modest sales velocity.

Transaction data remains sparse, with only five recorded sales over the past twelve months and seven total tracked in the database, indicating thin liquidity and a nascent market for this model in the US. The absence of active listings at present further underscores limited supply of examples seeking buyers at current asking levels.

Average mileage on transacted cars sits at just 3,371 miles, consistent with early-market participants holding inventory without significant use. This low utilization pattern suggests that most sales to date involve early adopters or inventory holders rather than established owner-to-owner transfers.

The Emira carries modest collectibility demand with a score of 3, classified as a depreciating modern. Its desirability remains low in the current market, likely constrained by its recent arrival, limited production visibility in the US, and competition from established alternatives in the mid-engine sports car segment.

Over a three-year horizon, the base projection sits at US$76,701, a decline of 14.3 percent from current levels. The five-year view suggests further softening to US$74,415, or 16.9 percent below today's median, tracking a conventional depreciation curve for a modern performance vehicle without heritage collector appeal or demonstrated investment-grade performance.
