    New Source for Tactile Steering Wheel Buttons - ships to U.S.

    No I am (well not currently), but logged in and set my shipping address to the U.S. Might want to try clearing your cart and trying again. I think $23 in shipping is what others here paid as well.

    New Source for Tactile Steering Wheel Buttons - ships to U.S.

    That's odd. I'm looking at my cart as if I was buying one now and the first option is "Pay Shipping Later"

    New Source for Tactile Steering Wheel Buttons - ships to U.S.

    Pick "Pay Shipping Later". They will come back with an estimate. Mine ended up being $23.08, which seems about right according to their "shipping calculator" at the top of the page. At least gives you the flexibility to decline if they come back with ridiculous shipping rates.

    New Source for Tactile Steering Wheel Buttons - ships to U.S.

    I chose the $6 shipping and had to give another $23 for DHL

    Much better deal. Unfortunately we have no access to that vendor in the U.S.

    And DHL just sent notice the expected delivery date is August 6, which would make it 8-days from ordering. If the switches are physically good I’d say it’s a reliable source. Total cost with shipping to U.S. is $210.40.

    So verified it has been shipped on DHL. Also, was sent a 20% off coupon for my next purchase so if the switches are good I’ll pass it along to the next person. So far so good.

    Yikes is right. I did find some legitimate reviews where the complaints were just slow shipping. I did use PayPal (and Amex) so can amend if it’s a scam. The shipping price didn’t seem unreasonable. Will provide updates

    Not a big update but adding this detail. I chose the $6 shipping, DHL came back and said minimum was $23. No big deal, but seems to indicate it’s being shipped.

    I selected the extra slow shipping for $6 so might be a while

    I'm not vouching for this website, and have no idea if they are new or used. I took a chance and ordered a set. Will keep people informed of the process: https://www.ebuy7.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=852062376266

    US used car market confusion

    Given it's a six-digit car, not really a huge spread in costs or mileage. Find the one spec'd to your liking and make an offer of what you think is fair. Not certain I would quibble too much over a few thousand - just make sure its the right one.

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Well if anyone is buying a new one, Lotus sent many of us a $3,000 discount that can be passed along to anyone. As I don't need a second Emira, will gladly pass it along. Note it may be worthless as I didn't read the fine print. I'm certain others will share if it can be of any help.

    Dealer Not Refunding Order Not Built

    Also from the contract language you provided, the dealer cannot simply say he sustained “damages”. Damages have to be proven, and unless they suffered financial loss (which they didn’t) they can’t collect anything from you. This should be a slam dunk. Agree with others - post the name so...

    Dealer Not Refunding Order Not Built

    I think the easy basis for claiming dealer breach of contract is that you ordered a 2025 model, and they could not deliver one. A 2026 is not a 2025 and is more expensive. A simple letter from an attorney will likely get your money refunded.

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    Love the Series 1's with the enclosed headlights! Also, not often people keep the sport wheels like is on yours - they look amazing on the coupe. Looks like yours is also Opalescent Silver Blue? So is the F40 yours as well?

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    The new De Tomaso P72 and the Alfa 33 Stradale aren't ugly. I think what makes the Emira special is that a $100k car holds it's own against $3M cars.

    I’m sorry but I read your response differently. “It’s a recipe for something bad to eventually happen” sounds like a bit of mud slinging. Seemed a bit much - especially when you don’t have any products yet. We welcome all quality vendors and appreciate all the hard work you guys put in...

    Lotus - summary of financial situation

    A decent, simplified summary of Lotus' financial situation. Pretty bleak outlook. If I was a betting man I would say the brand will no longer exist by 2028 unless they build a game-changing model. I found this part of the article to be quite amusing: In the first-quarter, Lotus delivered just...
