#bulletdodged indeed! What a huge dissapointment this would be. That would suck all the fun out of my new toy! Looks like I made a smart decision getting out and possibly considering a slightly used one in a year or two!! If they get things sorted out that is...:)

I agree. I wonder though whether the appeal will be as keen in a few years?

Yep I think you are spot on, that's why I left the party.

Not even gunna try to say yes...:) I see on Youtube that the exotic car rental places shy away from McLaren because of the cost of both maintenance and parts! To be honest it's above my pay-grade anyway, $100k more or less is about all I want to spend on a car. I'm not in the $300k+ crowd...

And I've heard McLaren maintenance is EXPENSIVE!!

You know what? After experiencing the "que" I'm gunna let everyone else chase the z06 and Eray. If I get the z51 package it is only a hair slower than those two. Sure you don't get that high revving flat plane of the Z06 or the cool jet whine of the Eray but for around $100k I can spec the...

I was looking at that but decided on a c8 convertible even though I can't get a stick. Love that Caddy though, enjoy..:) See this is what happens if you have to wait years for a car. You wind up with a different one!!

Still don't like the fugly butt however you can't argue with the performance of the upcoming eray.

Ha very well put!! In my old age I should have known better...:)

It has supermodel looks and terrific handling. It hooked me for sure and I put down a deposit right away. Sadly though when you take a serious look at the alternatives albeit sans manual trans, there is a lot of stuff out there that you can get without the ambiguous delivery date and...

I may be guilty of straying off course (when properly baited ..:) ) but I always strive to keep my posts respectful and lighthearted. I just hope the oversight doesn't become something resembling Fakebook.

I dunno if you want to go this far away but Nikki@EurocarsOC was wonderful to work with. No bs about $5k and/or additional deposit required. And should you decide to pull out they happily credit your $2500 back to your card. Good luck! Moderator note: part of post copied to different thread

Moderator note: copied from another thread to start a discussion on how we approach moderation on the forum What's with the power trip of some moderator's deleting posts? That never happened to me until we got some additions to the police force here?

That was a funny movie!! "Road Hog", not the name of the Laurel n Hardy flick but one of 3 vignettes in the story. Worth looking up..:)

Boy what a cluster-f. The frustration has clearly become unbearable and it doesn't appear there is any urgency on Lotus' part to remedy things. I am more satisfied that I made a good decision in pulling out because if this is the level of "customer care" that seems to be acceptable by Lotus...
