lol rather pay 1k for dealer to do it NOT!!!

In 2021 everything was cheaper even Oil. Look at the price of Eggs and cars; we thought the Emira in 2021 would have been less than it is today. I bet it's over 300 now.

Oil change is not cheap at Lotus dealers for Emira. I bet we don’t find an oil service at a Lotus dealer under $300. My friend in Austin said you get hosed on Oil services at the Lotus dealer. I Agree it’s absolutely insane, this a Toyota Camry motor with a supercharger on top, not a Lamborghini...

The Z06 Corvette has a contract for 6 months, if sold before warranty is voided for next owner

They are idiots, if You sell the car before times up find a friend that says they will pay 50k over MSRP. Then share the offer and if they want to match it let them buy it back. Dopey dealers.

My concern is that the Emira has been out for a while and in very wet climates for years. It's manufactured in a very damp environment too, I am so complex about how this can happen. Many in the USA are now getting their cars and some experiencing these issues. I laugh when I read the post I...

Mine has been great, wait still waiting for the car as she is on a boat headed to port.

I had a great time it was fun meeting everyone. Thanks, Jason :cool:

Owned a few and last one was an Evora not my first Lotus Rodeo just wished they improved quality control. .

Why so many issues, it’s frustrating to hear. It’s like Ferrari in the 1980’s and early 90s.

Reminds me of a song: Another One Bites the Dust" the song by the British rock band Queen.

How did you ever come to a conclusion that you had water in the sub?

No way I would take any car out at those speeds on that track without a race seat, harness, and protective gear, that would be a suicide mission. Plus don’t forget a diaper as it would be full after that run, that is crazy fast.

I am a gas car guy & felt I would be the last to convert to EV’s amongst my car groups. I moved into a daily driver Audi Etron Prestige back in 2021, now I am on my 2nd EV and it’s an Audi GT. I love it and for a daily driver around town (250 miles max driven per day) no way I am going back to...

I thought it could hit 110 no higher than 115

Understand, but no car door is a perfect fit from one car to the next. Also, they will need to paint the door to match the paint that is on the car and blend it with the panels next to the door. I had a red high-end sports car that had a small issue the paint specialist said it could have 11...

Lotus has always had a troubled past and the Emira V6 is truly a refresh of the outgoing product powered by the same engine other than the AMG version that is slowly being rolled out. Going 100% to EV was a bold move that should have been slow-walked, especially in a crowded market of...

Their could be problem when adding a new door to the Emira. When cars are produced on an assembly line and doors are fitted they typically have to sand and align everything to match up to that car. A new door will not always align and sanding will need to be performed. Chime in for those who had...

115k At that volume, it must be wholesalers.

IM me the carrier you are using please Congrats on your car.

At this point of his deposit, I don't think the dealer has any active build allocations from Lotus for a car that is not being produced yet. I deal with this all the time as any dealer I have worked with in the past It is when an active allocation against that deposit is key, meaning the dealer...

It just sounds strange to me, being so high on the waitlist I am not sure about your incentive for a new buyer. If a sports car is in high demand 99% of the time the dealer gives the deposit back and sells the car to make ADM which is over MRSP. Most dealers won't allow you to sell the spot...

In the state of California car dealers can't keep a deposit on a product that is not delivered. I would look into the law of that state. This is a product they can easily sell at or above MSRP and it’s not a strange unique special order, I say F them play hardball.

What state is Park Place in?

My buddy tracked his 400, we are talking over 10k hard track miles. Not one engine issue, engine is the least of my worries on this car. The electrical and switch gear are my main concerns.

Not dealers fault but more Lotus and parts manufacturers fault. It will be interesting based on how many cars arrive in the USA what % will have ongoing or nagging issues. That is why it’s important to have a dealer network not to far from your home base. I still feel the Emira to be more of a...

What issues did you have with the car?

My buddy just piked his Emira up in AZ and is headed back to TX now, He is in the music recording industry and has recording studios. He says the SUB is having issues, which I said after my 5 demos that it was a big issue. The good news it can be fixed with upgrades for those who feel the same...

Welcome to Lotus, my Lotus Evora if it rained would get wet inside. What is funny these cars are from the UK which is a very damp place, I mean really it’s not like Southern California. I am glad others are finally chiming in on the Kef system being lackluster. I was blasted by some on the forum...

Driven both cars, NO comparison. The V10 is epic and the sound and power is off the charts. For me, it's the engine as its the heart of the car & in the Lotus, it's always been a compromise, the V6 is lacking in pure high-rev power, and sits too tall in the chassis. Its super reliable but this...

0 as I am still waiting for it to get to California before shipping it back to Texas. :mad:

Straightforward solution. Suppose you are desperate for the car and forced to finance with the dealer, instead of telling them what to do with the Dopey car. Once you're done & drive off the lot, 30 days later re-finance with your bank. The good news, in the end, this hits them and they can't do...

No, most manufacturers require it. I still think it’s over played going to 1000 or even higher miles, but everyone needs to do what they want to do it their money and car. My EV Etron GT is a lease they recommend never filling the battery to 100%. When I bought it the sales manager, GM and the...

IMO, This is a modern Toyota Motor with a Super-Charger on top, not some High-Strong GT3 RS motor that redlines at 9000 RPM. I think the manufacturers are over-conservative with major caution on how to B-in the engines. Technology & tolerances are so much better today, I know my C8 had limited...

How do you know when your vin is loaded on a ship? Sorry can’t find how to do this

Great we will have dripings from sandwiches & Pizza sauce all over the interior now. :mad: Lol I lived in NY so I can say this, joking too but maybe not.

In 2023 the Port of Baltimore had 850,000 autos shipped to the port. I guess I won’t see my lotus for another five months it’s on the ship headed that way. Praying for everybody involved, it’s another bad day for everybody waiting for their cars too..

To me it’s not a Super Car. Beautiful looks for sure but performance is lacking even when you compere it to most sports sedan's. I dont buy cars based off classification they fall in, to me it irrelevant.
