@vantage YES I am getting a V6 FE, YES I am paying ADM, YES I always knew there would be ADM on V6 FE's and MSRP for base models. Again the only point I was trying to make is they have always been open and transparent with ME. I cannot speak for anything or anyone else, I am only expressing my...

OK... More so if this was a "known fact" then nobody should be upset over it. There were many there at Galpin's Emira reveal event night salivating about being one of the first to get the car and then turning right around and flipping it, so? I guess, "I've got mines" and I don't care about...

I, find it strange that anybody would call Galpin shady. I could care less, but I don't feel I was ever lied too nor promised something I wasn't, and as I have posted before, I have a locked in order:

For us NA buyers, I feel this is CAPITALISM at it's best, maybe worst. Except for a very FEW if only a couple of Direct-To-Consumer vehicles, we are all at the "OWNERS" of a private business = dealers doing the best for their customers, but not before lining their pockets beckoning. I was, back...

I would be nervous about having my car transported.

Maybe the problem here in NA is that this car is called FE. In the UK, there was "no limit" on FE's, they were simply the first edition of a specific vehicle. Here in NA, there were originally only 700 FE's that were going to be issued, now with 2.0 another 600? Maybe for us NA people, they...

Nothing written, I was always under the assumption I was only making a deposit of "YES, I WANT AN EMIRA." I personally was never influenced, made to believe, think, told, mislead into believing, or anything else that may or may not be misconstrued as you are getting a FE. I ALWAYS knew I made a...

Not sure how Galpin decided the order of their list honestly. I was always under the impression from day 1 with them that I was only placing a deposit for a build allocation reservation with no guarantee of Edition. I have email confirmation from them that; "We will not charge a mark up on...

I think ADM only applies to the V6 FE 1.0 and 2.0. I have a 1.0 on order with Galpin.

I suppose this is the truest statement of all, individual perceived value.

Not trying to bust balls but didn't you post this question previously on July 23, 2023? I replied to you and so did others, here was my original response to you: "I don't think anyone will be able to answer this for you. I too have my 1.0 on order with Galpin and have ADM. I am OK with it...

Me too. :LOL: :ROFLMAO:

Just saw this on a Facebook group and thought I would share, not sure if already posted from Lotus Jacksonville.

I am in the US so no car yet. I had a Competition Yellow (similar color) Corvette with black interior years ago and loved it, so I am sure the combo will be no different on this.

Bold maybe, but I believe someone on this forum has that color combo and I thought it actually looked really good. I went with black interior as I don't really like colors on the inside but I did go with red calipers on my HY.

What is really cool about this picture for me is that as a kid the Esprit was always my dream, now as an adult the Emira will be my reality

Like I have said before, I didn't order a car I ordered a casket. :ROFLMAO:

You never know, we have a tendency here to turn a blind eye to anything deemed "GREEN" whether it be for the planet or the pocket.

I don't think anyone will be able to answer this for you. I too have my 1.0 on order with Galpin and have ADM. I am OK with it because I have been looking for a car like this since I sold my 91' MR2. I have owned many since, but none ever gave me the feeling like this one has. I will be having...

Exhausting

Yes, just a basic thank you for your patience and that deliverers for FE's will begin in October, like we have heard here but not sure how true that is. Surprised you didn't get one, do you have a FE 1.0 ordered? I figured it would have gone out to everybody that has a FE order placed, but I...

My order is with Galpin as well, did you receive an email from them in the past few days? I am not sure I will be having mine serviced there as it is quite a distance from my home, but you may want to reach out and ask them. My 2 cents is if they do, it would probably be from their other...

My order was placed during that window.

Very nice.

I will be driving mine all year. 🤪

I think you are correct that the reference number on the 8/11/22 email is your order number as it matches my order. I believe the email is from Lotus to your specific dealer, however I don't think all dealers cc'd the email to their customers. Here is the order email I received.

The only reason 1.0 and 2.0 is being used is because Lotus said it and it refers to the 1st original 700 allocations to NA or the 2nd set of allocations. At this point we don't believe dealers even know how many 2nd batch FE's they are getting, and no orders have been taken. I don't think there...

I guess I don't understand your post about being #2 when order banks open up, you already have a 1.0.

Do you have an email from LotusCarsUSA titled something like this: Lotus Emira Order Entry: Approved Entry for ID######? My order was submitted 5/14/2022 and confirmed on 5/16/2022. If you were actually able to place an order with Lotus than you should have a locked 1.0 build as no other orders...

I have an order with Galpin and never really had any communication issues via email. I placed my $5k deposit in 2021, order for a 1.0 in 2022 and was not asked for anymore money. They told me that they take $5k upfront to not have to collect anymore at order time to not delay the process...

Well, I figure the time it sits at port should be long enough. :ROFLMAO:

Well, you are probably #13 on their base list and they anticipate a certain # 2.0's based on their 1.0 allocation so you would be on the 2.0 list at #13 if nobody ahead of you dropped out. My 2 cents.

:ROFLMAO: Good point, my garage is currently under construction getting remodeled. If I had my car now it would be outside like the rest.
