    Being pulled towards an AM Vantage - Help

    They say one in the hand is better than 2 in the bush, although some times that depends on the bush..... I would, as mentioned above, get the AM. Most people think it looks great, personally I think it looks far more classy than the Emira, it looks more solid and made of metal, whereas the...

    I think its one of my favourites ever yes... not for the 90% of lotus gents I would say, but an amazing experience. if it wasn't for insurance issues and using the car out of the UK, I'd still have it.... instead of the owners of alfaholics owning it

    Tailgate closing technique

    Mine was more of a couple of grills than slats, and yes they can operate when wet, but they will also get stained water marks on them, which isn't what I want on my new Emira every time my g/f opens the boot in the freezing cold to put the heavy luggage and shopping in, while Im nice and warm in...

    Tailgate closing technique

    If it were a REAL lotus, you simply wouldn't be able to close it at all from new, no matter what height or firmness the shut/slam/nudge/press/pressure and that would mean you could not lock and put the alarm on your brand new car, while leaving it at the ariport for several days. Ohhh how I...

    I was just about to say the same thing; he was meant to open it about 1/3 of the way, let the water drain and then continue to open it fully...Not rocket science, but I agree, there must be a SIMPLE design solution so all that would not be necessary, lip, half tube, whatever.... problem should...

    after one year is the biggest loss of course., less in the second and much less years 3 4 5, so I dont think close to 40% in 2 years is that big a deal. I bought a 6 series BMW 3 years old for 33% of its value new.... You generally lose a good 20% as you walk off the forecourt... VAT..... try...

    again, we will never know. BUt I now disagree with low depreciation in 2 years. Im with Tom, it will loose around 30-40% in 2 years and thats not healthy compared to its rivals. There are TOO many..and all the factors you mention are against values...
