    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Over 100% return to me looks like a good investment. With banks struggling to return 4%. Not really lots of trouble at all. There is a lot of thinking with the heart and not the head when it comes to this car (and others) It is a Lotus after all and there has never been an "overs market" Its...

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Totally understand. Of course more money would be lovely! However my personal thoughts were to sell for a small profit, ideally someone in this Forum! I have not advertised the car anywhere. There are 4 cars on Autotrader right now for £100-£105k. I expect they are all sale or return cars. The...

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Correct price? Do we think they are really getting anything like £100k? Surely just chancing it! I think £90k max. If anyone fancies one I would take £5k over list! Dec build/Jan delivery. Confirmed. Spoke to Lotus today (Well "Lotus confirmed" can mean give or take!!)

    Emira, 718 GTS, 911, A110 comparison

    718 GTS 4.0 wins. Alpine nice but a little toy-ish. Emira build quality just too lotus, as in not great after not many miles! 992 911 great but huge and leaves you a bit emotionless. GTS 4.0 manual, like an old 911.... with storage!

    All of a sudden a second hand GTS 4.0 at circa £70k looking value!

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Probably too late. Customers have cars now. A ridiculous decision to give preproduction cars to all media for reviews. Lost fortunes overnight and made everybody still think Lotus finish was low quality. Can you imagine Ferrari and Porsche handing out cars before they were finished for mass...

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Harry Metcalfe has got his "living with Emira" reviews coming out soon. I think reviews can sway the prices hugely. He has covered over 2500 miles in his and if he thinks its brilliant then prices could rise. The pre production reviews (which should never have happened) were not great for the...

    📓 Journals Scoates' Magma Red Emira

    I paid a deposit early July last year and have been told build next few weeks with delivery end Dec/early Jan. This is Lotus though so it could all change!! Thanks for the update, very helpful! Enjoy!

    📓 Journals Scoates' Magma Red Emira

    Great news (same spec as mine!) out of interest when did you put your deposit down? Would be good for everyone to get a rough idea on delivery schedules!

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Agreed. Harry Metcalfe (yes that one) replied to me earlier agreeing the seats felt too high for him. He also stated that after 2500 miles he felt it was more to do with the windscreen height than the seats! He knows a lot more than me!

    Completely agree. I am in the same boat. It's my deposit on my car, I can do what I like with it. People moaning about flipping cars didn't put their money down.....

    Collecting Seneca Blue Lotus Emira on Friday

    Is it from B&C? I saw a Blue customer car today when test driving!

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    I am sitting on the fence but it all depends what you want it for! As a daily the GTS all day long. As a weekend toy and occasional use the Emira. The GTS is fantastic all round (apart from the long gearing) As its naturally aspirated you really need to be pushing on to get the great engine...

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Test Drive today in surrey with B&C. 3.5 with Touring set up. Good points- Much better looking in the flesh. Exhaust note so much deeper. Handling sublime. Correct amount of power for a road car. Touring set up still "sporty" Gear change way better than those pre production reviews. Felt very...

    No Emira for me 😕

I also have a Magma red car. I hope its not jinxed! If anyone is interested please get in contact. An...

    3rd Call from Lotus delivery dates for UK

    I still want to deal with my dealer B&C. I have had good service from them and it’s nice having a relationship with the dealer. I am sure Lotus would be fine to deal with direct but less personal.
