Aren't you lucky. So far.

Prices have slowly gone up in the last year for used Emiras. There were 87 on Autotrader last May, all 3.5l manuals. Speculators getting burnt. Fewer than 20 with less than 5,000 miles currently on sale, 3/4 of those are Lotus buy backs at Auto100.co.uk. Why do you expect to get it cheaper...

Not a mystery if your car has spent 7 months out of 15 undriveable.

Jeez, you're lucky it's like pulling teeth from JCT600.

3rd party, Car Care Plan, is the one offered by Lotus Dealers in conjunction with Lotus.

Yup. JCT600 paintshop told me last week they had replaced replaced doors already.

Doors done at dealership paintshops are in the region of £5/6k, special price for warranty work, add another 20/30% if paying out of warranty. This from the dealers paintshop manager. He also stated the are replacing replaced doors and gave done a couple of '25 cars. Lotus are currently working...

AliExpress, for all things Emira. 😂😂😂 No-one in their right mind would spend that amount on there.

Have a look on AliExpress, lots of stuff for the Emira on there there may be some popping up.

Like a naked carbon fibre look? Elon has stainless steel, Lotus could have naked fibreglass. It would save them a lot of cash. 🙄

10 yr olds are tasked with iPhone, surely you know that. 😂

Aren't they made in France, shipped to Portugal for finishing and then delivered to Lotus to paint? After speaking to the paintshop manager, and seeing the numerous pics on here, the door problem appears to be limited to the same places ie along the top, around the handle and more rarely on...

I believe there are other cases of this on the forum, poor quality plastic clips made by a 6 yr old Chinese kid.

Why did you pay for it...

I picked mine up from the dealers paintshop Monday (tailgate), the manager said they had already started replacing replaced doors. £4500/US$6000 for 2 doors painted and replaced but that is a reduced price for Lotus, add approx 30% for a retail customer. I think Lotus going into...

I'd been promised a years extra warranty and a 'hamper' as goodwill gestures, picked my car up Monday and nothing and they're no longer replying to my emails. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You don't own one yet? If not look for something else. The warranty will soon be worthless, and yes you will be needing one.

Remember the front wings and bonnet are composite but not made in the same place as the panels with paint problems.

To be honest I'm no fan of modern BMWs but I'd take the M2.

That's a paint scrape, if there's no other damage that would cost £100/$130 to respray here in the UK.

10% tariff on UK cars, 25% on German cars accounts for similar price in the US.

I take it there's more damage we can't see?

There are many on here who, so far, haven't had the problems you or I have had so don't quite get it. Fingers crossed they don't but I think more will as time goes on. I've just got mine back after 9 weeks, 3 1/2 weeks in February and nigh on 6 months in total April to December last year. I've...

Not sure of the Emira price in the US but here in the UK my 2023 1st Edition 3.5ltr manual would now cost £106,750. A very similar specced Cayman 4ltr GTS that I just Spencer is shown in the attached pic. Nearly £20k cheaper.

CS hit and miss for sure. I've just picked mine up after 9 weeks at the dealers, no courtesy car, Lotus refusing to pay for aftermarket spoiler, £399 inc VAT, on new tailgate and still not had a reply on the extended warranty.

You purchased it off Auto100, they are ultimately responsible. I would send them a letter stating you have been more than patient and you want a full refund (state the exact amount and Invoice number) and if they refuse you will be taking legal action and be looking for all costs involved in the...

Try Lotus CS, some get it paid for some don't.

Woodsome Hall, Yorkshire.

No doubt because they have never driven/owned a Cayman. The Emira looks like a supercar so it is assumed it is. The 911 is a fat arsed car.

63 days 😂😂😂😂, try 7 1/2 months and counting out of 15 months ownership.

Spot on. Take your eyes off what's in front of you for a split second and you can be on the wrong side of the road, the Cayman is more forgiving. I used my Cayman S as a daily, the Emira is an event every time you get into it. I can get that event on my 23 yr old GSXR750 without expecting a...

I tried telling a member on here in March when he was looking, ignored me and has had no end of problems. That anyone is prepared to spend £106k (the cost now of a 3.5ltr, manual with 1st Edition spec) on a car riddled with problems, a company with terrible CS and is close to bankruptcy is...

If I can help anyone avoiding the pain of owning an Emira I'll continue.

US factory I'm sure.

If only it was restricted to 'paint bubbles'.

For all the problems I've had with the car the steering sure isn't one of them. It goes where you turn immediately, it demands you stay in touch as the slightest movement of the steering wheel means the car moves too. My previous car, a Cayman S, was way more forgiving and required less...
