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..

So, AA found a number of fault codes, the most worrying related to throttle valve. He cleared them, started engine and they immediately reappeared. He suggested driving the car home as he wasn’t able to tow and the vehicle was drivable. 5 mins on motorway and engine in limp mode again. 40mph...

Thanks. Collected the car last month. I’d hoped some of these would have been sorted by now. Fingers crossed it’s a roadside fix!

Currently stuck at Membury services on my 3rd drive. Power loss on M4, pulled over to hard shoulder - engine off and on again and power back, engine warning light stayed on. 20 mins at the services, restart engine and the dash lights up like a Christmas tree. ‘ESC temporarily unavailable’ ‘SRS...

Thanks, I guess I need to make a few calls.

Apologies if this question has already been asked/answered but I’ve recently heard horror stories regarding insurance companies and PPF. Some see it as a modification and won’t insure or will increase the premium. If not declared, the insurance may be void. This is putting me off the idea of...

I think £79k was the final bid. Only 4 bids in total.

Is yours an auto? I received the price guarantee email but placed my initial deposit 6 days after you - V6 manual.

Ouch! Really sorry to hear that. My deposit was a day before yours and I've been given the price promise. I guess we can assume the cutoff date was 15th July?

I like it. It looks much better than I imagined. Still wouldn’t spec it myself though..

Family car - M3 Touring Fun car - GT3 Touring Bike - V4 Superleggera Although, I might be stretching the budget somewhat..

Welcome GJH. Lovely spec! I'm just down the road from you (Bristol). I assume your test drive is Bristol? I'll be there on 23rd Nov, can't wait!

WBAC are owned by BCA. In most cases, the cars are sent to auction and WBAC will pay below auction prices to realise a profit. I wouldn’t read too much in to their valuation at this stage because they have no idea of the resale value as they have no auction data on the vehicle.

Amazing collection. I particularly love the colour of the STO!

Yep, this happened to me :mad:

I’ve been waiting for an M3 Touring for years. But I’m not sure I can stretch to an Emira too. I have a deposit on the Touring with delivery expected in June. Lotus are making the decision easier for me..

I would be too, if I had any faith that they will actually deliver in March/April..

Received the same email. 15.07.21 deposit. Are they telling everyone March?!

Would 10k be enough to tempt you? After such a long wait and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, it would take considerably more than 10k to tempt me out of it at the point of delivery.

That’s my car leaving at the end! Seneca, lower BP and silver wheels 😆

This is one of the most upsetting videos I have ever watched..

What a beaut! I’ve always been a fan of a fast estate. I have a deposit on an M3 Touring to replace the current family car, a Golf R estate.
