Snap! 😆 For a split second I thought you’d bought my old car..

It might be sooner, I just had a look on WBAC. For context, May registered, 400 miles 😱

It’s a small mercy. What a hideous car! I thought the Eletre had a face that only a mother could love but the Emeya is it’s uglier sister!

I got the notification today too! At least now I know what it is. Where does the QR code take you?

I’ve seen a couple in Bristol. Most recently, a Seneca at Ashton Court on Saturday morning (a fellow Parkrunner?). I’d just walked passed a 718 and was thinking to myself how ordinary and common they are - I’m unlikely to ever see another Emira in the car park.. 5 cars later, there it was 🤦‍♂️

With other cars I have traded, WBAC have roughly been on par with dealer prices. But I take your point, I haven’t spoken to a dealer about the Emira.

I agree that private sale, 5% is acceptable. Problem (for me at least) is that I would never consider selling a car like this privately. Trade price for my 1 month old 400 mile vehicle is £65,500, going by WBAC. That’s a significant drop in such a short space of time.

£77,795 is i4 price.

Sorry to hear this @ChrisW I took delivery last month, the car is currently with Lotus after a breakdown. Added to other issues and I have lost confidence in the vehicle. Today, I submitted a request for a full refund, under the consumer rights act 2015. The refund request must be submitted...

Thanks for sharing, Kennyn. Very familiar indeed, including paintwork problems. Sadly, I don’t think this is restricted to early builds. Mine was an April build, May delivery. I’m beginning to think the Emira is generally a dud. Albeit a very pretty one. Happy to hear they reimbursed the...

Thanks, I'll see how I feel in the morning. It's a phenomenal car when it works.. I'd be interested to hear about your experience, and the outcome with Lotus.

Well, at least it wasn’t a 7 hour wait..
