Emira stock on sale at 0% APR in case of interest ... https://www.caffyns.co.uk/lotus/offers/lotus-emira-with-0-apr-representative/

I have said all along I personally would budget £1k per month average depreciation over first 3 years. Fairly level for a few years after that I guess depending on p/ex or private sale.

Trade retail screen price now starting under £70k (2023 '72 plate Nimbus 2400miles).

Clayesmore school, Dorset today.

After 25 months, I'm out. Ultimately going in an Exige Sport 410 a few weeks ago was the final nail in the coffin (much preferred it to the Emira at similar price point). Good luck to those sticking it out ... looking forward to seeing much more Emiras on the road as they do look great and I...

100% agree. My observation is that some sports and classic car values are already slipping back to pre-covid prices. There is a strong probability of over-supply for (sadly) reducing real demand.

Some nice pictures here of DV on this one at £73,950 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202307099453462?sort=relevance&advertising-location=at_cars&include-delivery-option=on&make=Lotus&model=Emira&page=1&postcode=DT10%201PS&fromsra

Love the wedge era cars. Think they are ageing really well now.

Sounds like a k series!?

Interesting read. If the new aluminium subframe houses the new rear suspension, presumably the i4 suspension is different to v6?

I went in one on Saturday ... what a car! Totally loved it, lots of grinning and can't stop thinking about it. Love the shape of the Emira (and the ease of getting in and out) but the 410 is very appealing!

Useful info, thanks for posting. Assuming trade value in 3 years is say £60,000 ... that works out at approx £1,000 / month ownership cost.

At Sherborne classics today

Although people trying to catch the sound is appreciated, it doesn't really help because none of us know whether the by-pass valves are open or not. I agree it sounds underwhelming as is so far, but I felt similar about the V6 on test drive. All of this speculating could be avoided if Lotus...

2 years for me yesterday. Have had 2 V6 test drives (second drive much better) ... waiting patiently for the I4, then decision time.

Flake shows quite clearly in sunshine and looks great. See my pic of 16 May over rear wheel arch. Looks solid in cloudy light and in showroom.

I much prefer the dark version :)

I'm very nearly there too. 2 year anniversary next week I think. Just about holding on awaiting I4 release reviews and test-drive (which I am really hoping will be worth the wait). Quality and software issues are my biggest concern, especially with new engine and drivetrain etc.

Hope it all goes to plan and you have a great day.

and some with paint correction / ppf having been done too.

Looks like more are specced with black pack. I wonder what the metallic green car is to the right of pv panels in top pic.

Hugely disappointing, and inexcusable really plus a lot of wasted time and stress no doubt. At least you can now move on with funds intact.

A few more now, with 9 under £80k. I did a WBAC valuation on one with 1200 miles and it came back as £69k!

Extra space underneath shifter on the auto. Presumably will be similar on i4

Demo at Hendy Exeter today

Indoors with black pack

Same here. 9 July '21 deposit ... was told around 9 months ago that I was approx no. 150 on the waiting list. I guess I may have moved up a few spaces if earlier depositors have cancelled or switched to V6.

Refundable up until checkout I believe. The deposits are a "priority reservation fee" which gives no guarantee of supply by Lotus and no commitment to purchase by customer.

I think that may be enough for me to cancel after 22 months wait if this is a common issue :-( . Being a bit ocd about paintwork I would be so upset if that happened, it's not worth the stress.

Interested to know the answer to this one. Exciting though after such a long wait..

I can't even get into the change configuration page, lol, it just hangs. Will try again tomorrow.

Me too. Took me completely by surprise!

Looks great. The black wheels on the Porsche do it no favours.

Yep, just had email from Lotus confirming the new colours. Available for production from Aug 2023.
