I’m not upset at all, nor have I ever said my dealer lied to me. Think you are combining multiple things from multiple people. I’m just curious how this normally would have happened vs the mess that took place. Edit: Just to be clear. I know my car was in the second allocation and I happily...

It does make me curious just about the legal mechanics of increasing the price during the same model year. I presume this is normally not an issue, because most manufacturers make small bumps and just change the price on cars manufactured after X date. What’s interesting about this Lotus...

It’s an increase to the number of First Edition cars allocated to North America. The nomenclature of FE1.0 & FE2.0 is not a model variation. It literally is just short hand for First Edition Initial Allocation and First Edition Second Allocation, but ALL of them are just First Editions.

This is what I’m trying to explain. There is nothing more for them to put anywhere because the 2.0 designation isn’t a REAL Lotus designation. They all are just First Edition V6 (there is a difference I guess for the I4, but that’s not what we are talking about)

Mist White. My order form just calls it First Edition. My Bill of Sale calls it First Edition. The Window Sticker calls it First Edition. But my MSRP was the $105k starting price. So yes they made a second run of First Edition cars. And I’m sure some dealers put some designations in their...

Dealers can call it whatever they want on their websites/order forms. When you get your car/title/anything official it will NOT be called V2 or FE2.0

Oh I’m not disagreeing that they are slimey about saying how they got to $119k. All I’m saying is the $98k lock-in was with someone else. After that they can charge what they want. Would be better if they made their math more clear/honest.

It’s literally not a thing. I bought a “FE2.0”. Nowhere does it ever say 2.0

There is literally no real FE1.0 and FE2.0. There are orders that were locked into a price with the original buyer that owners call FE1.0. There are then orders that were locked into a higher price and those orders had more options available at that time. Owners decided to call those FE2.0...

My window sticker didn’t arrive until after CARB approval for what it’s worth, and I’m at a different dealer.

What do you even mean? FE1.0 and FE2.0 are just lines we owners have created. It’s not a real thing. The FE1.0 is essentially just a deposit/order placed by the original buyer. Once that buyer is gone there is no reason that the car is held at its old locked in price. The new buyer has less leg...

At the end of the day you guys agreed to $119k no matter how you validated the price. It was $10k above what ordering the car and waiting would have been. It’s a lil shady for them to say MSRP, when I guess more accurately they should say what current MSRP IS + $10k. But like I said, one way or...

There is MORE of the bridge that could fall

My car arrived on the 12/20 Atlantic Sun ship, and I'll get to take it home 4/13. Sometimes it just takes time...

Red leather is interesting... I think I'd be down for one red leather and one black leather with yellow stitch. Just tell me how and when to order.

Before I saw my car last week I was pretty certain I would want to change badges. Then I saw it in person and realized I was pretty happy with the current stock appearance.

Love it. Wish I had the cajones to order something like that.

Certainly interested

I've settled on "Retro Super Car". It meets all the requirements in my mind of a 15-20 year old Super Car that you can buy brand new today.

Is there a way to know if you have the most recent software update? Like a version number on a screen? I just want to make sure all the software updates are performed before I head home.

Well, I just paid for it. It's still getting PPF done, and then I'll be in London for a week. So Holman is holding the car until I get back. So you will actually get yours before me if you take delivery on 4/3.

I’m just sad that this thread missed the opportunity to call itself The Dallas Buyers Club.

Someone is going to have to post the cliff notes of how people were feeling about the cars and any issues.

I find it funny looking back on this, because I was all over the map when I thought I was getting an FE1.0 color car. I think it all worked out the way it was meant to.

My Lotus dealer presented me with a 5.79% for 72 months from Santander. Didn't seem wildly out of the mix of other offers.

Here are the states that allow you to possess the physical title with a lien (Non-Title Holding States) The lender may still try to hold on to them in these states, but if you request the title they are required to give it to you (But as I said before, the Lienholders info will appear on the...

This I can 100% guarantee is not true in all states. In Missouri (where I live) the purchaser is entitled to keep the title of the car even if a Lien exists on the title. The title does have to show the lien, but in MO the lienholder isn’t allowed to withhold the title from you. Maybe MO is a...

Good idea.

Thanks. Makes us FE2.0 colors feel more accepted 😂

Thought I’d share some interior shots.

How do we get this "stickied" like the other exterior color threads?

I think all us brave souls that went Mist White (when the configurator color was inaccurate) are all going to be mightily rewarded with a fantastic looking car.

I was nervous going in today because: 1) I had only seen the color in terrible lighting previously. 2) I hadn't seen the wheels cleaned up before. 3) Pictures of the All Mist White looked so good it made me question the black pack. After seeing the car in person all those fears fell to the...

I’ll be in England for 8 days. We have track time scheduled in Hethel while we are there as well.
