lwell..lotus have made a good start by treating people like crap..... so thats pretty similar.....

Its a nice video, but I think at no point in it does the colour truly reflect the actual Magma red colour... it does show some pretty clear orange peal though :(. Still a good looking animal..and food for thought for me as my magma red one is at the dock/customs awaiting clearance :( oh what to...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-12/jaguar-owner-to-make-electric-vehicle-battery-cells-in-europe?leadSource=uverify%20wall British car companies since the 50/60's have never done great .... but I dont think there is any sudden change coming, its just a case of finding the best...

There is no rhyme or reason apart from the price the dealer paid and does not want to lose money or their sale or return customer. But yes as I have said various times the cars are not going to fetch over 5k irrelevant of spec and colour in general. However, there are still a few hopefuls or...

Despite what some people believe, the supposed negative of us dont want everyone else to be negative *misery loves company. I myself am very happy to see people posting photos of their sexy looking Emira's in great Scottish or German or Czech countryside and explaining how they are enjoying...

this is true, although also potentially true that those currently interested and without a test drive, would probably be allowed a test drive of one of these advertised cars if the owners are serious about selling it, and the buyer serious about paying overs. The seller should be prepared to...

I'd imagine the adds are on the developers side to make it free for people like us to use forums.... not specific to each forum and no money into each actual forum

with respect and a heavy heart..... I....agree

before we get deleted..... car mags are already comparing the NEW Emira with the age old 718... and even the die hard "Lotus are Amazing" and I feel so much better having not bought the more sensible "boring" porsche on this forum are comparing their purchase of the Emira with a used aston...

ohhh yes it has.... haha.... If you think you have a lot of posts deleted, you should check out mine... ohhh no, thats not going to work is it..... too late

I agree with most, but not that the 718 becomes anonymous once they stop making ICE ones..... Firstly, as the second hand market of 718 gts or gt4's will still be there and still be the "better" car in jornalist's eyes and from a practicality point of view and also from a residuals point of...

well sudden no, but based on 10 or so having been put up for sale from around 100 cars on the roads, empirical evidence would suggest 30 for sale by the summer..... overs for the whole of 2023..... you are optimistic aren't you.... wow... haha. Id bet my house against it..... i pm'd...

You say "normal" people wont be aware of the Emira.... interesting...to know what "normal" is..... just playing devils advocate as far be it from me to disagree.. haha.. but does it matter about "normal" people? Sounds terrible, but I mean from Lotus's point of view, a "normal" person either...

The private sale ashbourne DV (black) car has also reduced down quite a bit now, although the other older 22 car has not, people live in hope, but you will see another fortnight and the 95k preston car will be below 90 for sure and still wont sell. There are 4 cars now at 90k or LESS and 4 cars...

I must have missed it.... just read it was seen on another forum so assumed it had not been posted here..... was also 12.30am here when posted ;) dangerous to make assumptions on a forum ...

Can I get this thread back in line.... after 2 pages of off thread rubbish.. there are now 2 private black, sorry green cars for sale... Funnily enough the more expensive one has the "cheaper" black wheels and is a 22 reg and the cheaper car has DC wheels and is a 23 year car. Both are priced...

You may be right, but there are others who know quite a bit and disagree with you and quite like the car..... I totally disagree with you regarding the looks...as do Jeremy and many other reviewers..... I love it.

well at least she hasnt witnessed a death and had to go to the Aston to be resucitated hah

The F type is an old design now, but it has stood the test of time better than any car I can think of...over those years, the rear end is one of the best and even the 911 headed in that direction copying it slightly as did the aston martin, a great bit of design from a great designer. It should...

be interested to see how you rate the F type vs the emira driving wise.... its heavier, but that engine leaves the emira standing if its at its 500+ rating. and the noise. Personally I wasnt over in love with the Ftype interior 4 5 years ago..not bad at all.... but compared to porsches it wasnt...

Yes, that could be the case, but I dont think it is the norm. (by the way I PM'd you and you've not answered, I dont bite... haha) As our Canadian friend said, some dealers have a client list and some of these clients may not even bother to check how much the car is new RRP or how much it is on...

Well, the first part that I could not sell it is true.... as who ever your god is, my witness.. hah The second part, could well have been a publicity stunt... however, the car is with hartley for sale at 94,950. Yes it could be sale or return, but would they do that...with such a small...

No, it was spec'd on the road at 80,250 exactly.... and yes, they will loose money unless they find someone as dopey as they were....

Well all he did was buy a car with the plenty of spare cash he has, tried it, didnt like it and sold it... I dont believe he bought it with the idea of selling it, but didnt like it much so moved it on..... He'll sell his Urus soon enough.... after a few vids....

great minds and all that.... question is if someone offered you 5 6 7k would you take it??? haha

My car....resold within an hour.... to a foolish dealer who did no research on current prices and will no doubt loose money on it, or hardly make any, unless his customers also do no research, which is quite possible. Fair play, make 4.25k *not 5 as he said, in a few hours and you cant...

I dont recall, I think he said the touring is set up differently, despite porsche saying its not...and hence with him seeing the road noise and handling as being slightly more humane in the touring, he hence preferred it and it doesnt take much reading between the lines to see its really his...

I speak about UK pounds of course ;), its where Harry and myself live, in fact we share the house.. haha. Over here and NOT in the USA (its not all bout you guys you know.. haha) its about 220 or so...and not many will pay over the odds over here as its not proving too popular as you can see...

no, he wasnt keen was he... grounding out is crazy!..... many things put me off spending my theoretical 200k on that car... hah

just in case you missed it https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-alternatives.2424/post-73716

Okay.. for all of you who asked on and off line, I got an answer.... had to work for it, but the 54 car owner youtuber will not be keeping the car due to.... " Car is extremely average. Looks nice though. Buy a lambo 100% not even close in comparison. " Yes, I/we all know/ tis not a fair or...

I asked, but I dont expect an answer.... partly my fault and partly for something I wont say online....

yes..an expensive shopping cart..makes sense now... haha :). yeh, well I know the feeling that you want everything...... and when you have the money, then you dont think as much as when you dont have the money and have to weigh things up a lot more carefully.....

well, if he makes money flipping it, it will be down to him and his youtube channel, not down to the car.... they are not flying off the shelves and there is no big long waiting list for those wanting the car soooooner rather than later. A great looking car and no one wants to pay much for...

when i change his status to trade from private by perhaps calling the dvla tomorrow, if they allow me to... on the V5, I will ask him. If they dont let me, he probably wont be best pleased and hence I wont ask.. hah. This keeping it as trade means he for sure wont be keeping it, apart from...

Just a note to say the youtuber, ex stock car racer, owner of 54 cars, just told me he does not think he will be keeping the Emira.... cant even have put 100 miles on it yet. I didn't bother to ask why, you can ask him on his channel.. hah. I guess he may do a couple of videos, or may not even...

ohhhhh. come on!!... I read a post, equal in length to mine and at the end, nothing... no decision, just a well written and well explained diary, you owe me some cake at least! Very well written and explained and yes the extra 3k on the road probably covered some costs for them, unforeseen...

[Moderator - Removed paragraph commenting on off-topic posts above. These are now dealt with.] I would say from a business point of view, with the model Lotus have chosen of releasing the first car with everything on it, it would be a terrible idea to let people change to the base edition and I...

as with life in general.... they are what you make of them...... so sure, they can be just ok.... or they can be.... the best experience of your life hah

how dare you mention french sports cars on here.. ahha.. actually, there are surprisingly few french sports cars in reality and even less now thanks to their decapitating high registration tax on cars that contaminate. https://www.hotcars.com/greatest-french-sports-cars-ever/ Now I see its small...
