I would absolutely think that you can find part of the contract they breeched (timeliness, updates, etc.) that would void the agreement. Any court would find that their promise of a vehicle in a reasonable time frame was not met - even if the time frame was open-ended. If you have a friend...

Could be there is a concern that test drives in production vehicles in CARB states might take place leading to potential fines?

Don’t ask questions that you don’t want to know the answer to…….. Hopefully it means you kept the naughty in check.

Merry Christmas to all here on this thread. The discussions and commiseration - and occasionally valuable information - shared with this group the past several years has eased the anxiety created by that Chinese owned British based entity. From KitKat breaking the test mules to Nova stalking...

It's not a quote for the Emira, but I did just place coverage with American Collectors Insurance (affiliated with USAA) for a 1969 E-Type with an agreed value policy of $100k (if car cannot be repaired I'm owed the agreed value). There is no deductible, but there is a mileage restriction of...

The smart Lotus sales guy would be coming to this thread for information. Would look like a genius.

We will stop in every now and then to rub it in! Kidding of course. Guessing the lot here will migrate to a commiseration thread.

Same! Worried now about the double-negative order confusion. The person who constructed the order sheet should be put on double-secret probation.

There used to be a track day, liquid application product that people referred to as Rhino Snot

Ridiculous they aren’t allowing pictures. Absolutely no reason for that decision.

My 23-year old told me “guess I need to learn to drive a manual before March”. I still haven’t stopped laughing.

This. By then you may have better options including the mythical Emira GT.

Gorgeous (the car)! When did you get it?

Yup. It would be BIG IF TRUE!

I'm not an attorney, but I would lean heavily on the fact that your decision to place the second deposit was made based on false information they provided (i.e., delivery slots available in Spring). The law typically considers reasonableness and intent, and here you agreed to pay an additional...

Congrats! Tell Daniel to hurry up with the Seneca Blue/Ice Grey one!

Just stopped in Manhattan Motorcars (not my dealership) and they told me they won’t be getting any stock because NY is a CARB state. Honestly think they simply have no idea. Several Rimacs and Koenigseggs available so I guess the Emira is even more exclusive!

Remind me again - you're a 1.0 from Cape Fear?

Agree. Silver/silver is a great combo that I never thought about.

Looks like Lotus of Naples has taken some nice photos of their new stock as an advertisement for pre-orders. Detailed photos that include alcantara headliner/sun visors and open-mesh gearbox. Highly advise to take a look as they are the most detailed shots I've seen yet...

No. I went through this process for an Elise. Honestly the finish was very good.

I’m hoping that spending $100k on a vehicle that I don’t need paint correction beyond what’s necessary for application of PPF.

Any way to imbed a spreadsheet into this thread where people can record dealer, deposit date, 1.0/2.0, color, shipping date, etc? Might be interesting to see if there are any patterns emerging.

They are next to my office so will check today.

Well, now we’re all f#*ked……..Back to the 911T delivery thread.

I’m going to the dealership to see if I can drive KitKat’s car before he’s legally able to purchase it and will post videos driving it like a scalded ape.

Front parking sensor/camera?

Crazy. Same coverages. Zero tickets. Zero accidents. 54, in Atlanta burbs. Hagerty - $2680/yr.

Honestly this pretty disappointing that a dealer has cars to put on the lot prior to deposit holder deliveries. Would have thought that standard practice would be to offer cancellations to people on "the list".

Sounds like a reason to toast a beer on delivery day!

I'm actually in Atlanta (and work in Manhattan during the week). Chose Charlotte for delivery over Atlanta after "interviewing" both.

I am in the 20's. Submitted my build this August and was recently told my build would be Dec/Jan, with expected delivery in March.

DaaS you’re a bigger tease than Michelle from 11th grade!

Wasn’t as lucky with my 2.0 at Charlotte, but hopefully soon enough. Congrats to the winners! Can’t wait to see your cars!

Thanks. I'm a 2.0, non-CARB state (Charlotte dealer), Seneca. Also finalized my build in August after dealers were provided their 2.0 allocations. This gives me hope that mine could be earlier than expected.

Color? When did you finalize your build?

Nuclear fission is easier to make sense of than the logic of Lotus.

Surprising. Thought they might win the "Best Customer Service 2024" category. What/who is Carwow?

I just look at the events of the past two weeks as another step closer. Don’t need to go drive “my” car. Just as happy dogging the dealer demos (before KitKat screws it up).

I'm going to tell people it's a Geely which to most will sound super exotic!
