    Had the Emira 3 months it’s been in for repairs most of that time

    The pressure washer concerns should be put into context. Is a 40 degree nozzle at 2-3ft really an issue? If that's the case then the Emira paint is more like a painting from my 10y old.

    No kidding, I thought people upsized upon retirement. 🙄 Let's see. Buy apartment for 100 with loan of 70. Wait 30y and pay off loan. Covid 2053 crushes condo values so you sell it for 100. Yes, you "created" 70 of equity but what is your IRR? Let's not confuse investment with building equity...

    I think you need to have a glass of wine. I own two properties and my LTV is 30pct. So not sure why you mention renting vs owning. 🤔 What you are referring in your lengthy response is building equity. Building equity is not the same as a good investment. Let's say I own an apartment in SF...

    You said it, "downsize". That what I mean, it's the only way to free up equity

    Tell me how is that upside? Are you moving to a cheaper part of town to cash out? Have the houses around yours not appreciated but your house has? A secondary home or rental is an investment. Ones primary residence? I beg to differ.

    I could not disagree more. My personal view is that your own home is a consumption item rather than an investment. Unless you relocate from an expensive area to a lower cost area, or downsize significantly, a primary home is not really an investment.

    Very true. Although most Americans are fully levered and they technically don't have any equity. I'd be curious to know what is the average loan to value of residential real estate. Must be in the 70-80pct range. Back in my home country mortgage rates are 15pct so you only buy what you can afford.

    UK South Bucks Emira Owners meet up

    So, for those that attended: 1. What color, other than your own, looked best? 2. What interior, other than your own, looked best? 3. What specs you regret or wish you had specced?

    Don't drink and drive! 😀. Sounds epic. So jealous of those European distances and multicultural changes. Here from CA, 2000 miles will take me to the same coffee chain in Tx or something like that.

    Nice, first time I see this. Meridian looks like BMW carbon black? Maybe lighter. Atlantis like Porsche Gentian Biue without the purple hints?

    Lovely comment. Go mingle with the Kia owners, sorry...Porsche. Same number of customers out there. You'll need luck as well to be spotted.

    First Emira with an aftermarket wing?

    Not sure. I'm not a designer but seems to me it doesn't flow very well, stands out in not a good way I guess. Too big? Too high?

    "...an ongoing interest" in annoying everyone and contribute to the negativity. Together with @Hell4Leather Don't you guys have some other more fun activities to engage in? Forums of cars you actually like?

    I think you are completely wrong. It should be a flux capacitor which leave all the electrical issues in the past. 😝

    Nice. Judging from my friend's GT3, the buckets add a lot of discomfort to the daily experience. Getting in and out should not be a hassle unless you hit the track frequently. I'm considering a T and if I pull the trigger, I will surely go with the regular "Sofas".

    I'm in - the buyers thread

    Let's stay positive people. I'm still very much in. Hopefully by 2024 (US deliveries) most of the electrical stuff will be sorted out. Haven't read bad reviews about the driving dynamics of the car and not that interested in 1000hp and 0-60 times.

    What's everyone's placeholder given this long wait??

    Same, I'm thinking of Carrera T for daily abuse (unsure what will 992.2 changes will be) and the Emira for weekend. Wife says it's a full mid life crisis. She is probably right, but hey...I'm mid forties so no more "one day I'll buy XYZ...". Life is short.

    Lotus Advanced Performance - new division announced focusing on bespoke vehicles and customer experiences

    I think this will be linked to the future Emira versions. So there will be bespoke options to eliminate codes, have functioning wipers and O2 sensors, as well as the highly sought after 3000 mile worry free option.

    What's everyone's placeholder given this long wait??

    Awesome. I'll buy it for a fair price with a ROFO/ROFR at any time and/or a buyback/repurchase option (at an agreed price based on mileage, etc).
