It’s Lotus, I don’t think they even know what they will be doing yet 😂

Ahh hadn’t gone all the way to the end.l of the config. So if it’s says non until 2026, then seems unlikely they would restart production if they are discontinued everywhere else and focus on future variants. Seems unlikely the base Emira will ever happen

You can still order the V6 first edition manual here in the U.K. Would be interesting to know if there is truth in what he says on his video, saying Lotus claims they have sold out of its V6 engines and being discontinued and when they expect that to happen…….

Yes, what I meant more was the cheapest cars on autotrader will likely get bought up first and then new cars are likely to be advertised at higher prices as less cars are available, bringing the average price up. Obv things mileage etc will effect this. Who knows, nobody has a crystal ball but...

Last time I checked there were 74 Emiras available on Autotraders, now 59. In a market where nothing is shifting, I think that shows an underlying demand for Emiras and people probably realising that at current levels they are a bargain of a car/package and likely at their bottom. I still...

No but would be interested in similar but for a 3 year old :)

Sat hear after a few wines and an amazing day driving over the Pennines from Hexham across to Keswick and felt the needed to put something on this glum and negative forum. The car is fu#%ing brilliant, the roads were perfect for the Emira, empty twisties and could see for miles and it...

Ditto here too. Not a thing gone wrong. Been to Scotland, wales and cornwall on road trips and it’s been superb over 3000 miles. In love.

Crazy decision. Really don’t understand why Lotus are still using this business model tbh. Literally zero commitment from the customer until 30 days before delivery at which point the car is already spec’d and build (other than a fully refundable deposit) Think lots of customers are never...

Looks great. If you can be bothered, please do share locations and stops too. Planning a alps trip but no idea what are the best places/roads yet

Yeah. Makes sense. Look forward to the content 🤪

Nice. Think I’m gona do this along with the seatbelts. Thanks for sharing

Think the new prices are only a good thing for residuals. Some cars on autotrader look a steal for such an epic car IMHO. Surprised they aren’t shifting. Why would you be looking to sell out of interest? I couldn’t be without mine and can see it being my forever car, mines be faultless to date...

With the next price increases imminent, I think some of the used cars on autotrader are an absolute bargain. Think this will only hold prices where they are if anything. I’ve got a may 23 car and it has been faultless and by far the best car I have ever owned. I am a long term keeper, so not...

Thanks. I’m tempted. All mods look good

Nice. Do you know how much the seat belts were to do?

Snap, 1700 miles now and been perfect. Hard to relate to others with all these issues

1300 miles in and all I can say is the car is EPIC! Road trip across the Pennines from Hexham (B6295) across to Penrith and back, and then enjoyed it so much, we when back and did it again the next day, what a road and what a car, in its element and exactly the roads it was made for. I’m coming...

11th July 2021.

Also a fellow new shadow grey owner and agree with everything you have said. I was going to write up my ownership thoughts, but this sums it up perfectly. The car is AWESOME and can’t stop driving it and get way more attention than I was expecting. I’m sure some of the earlier cars had issues...

Not sure if it’s been answered all ready but golf clubs easily fit behind the seats and in the boot, so no issues with 2 sets and a passenger Will update shortly on car bht in short it AMAZING. No issues at all and love it

Spoke to my insurance company here in U.K. and anything under 70% tint would void my insurance. Like the way it looks but not worth driving round with essentially no insurance cover :(

Looks good. I’ve been considering this too but worried about how much darker it will make it when sat inside. Has it had much of an effect? I’ve got black interior too.

Was wondering exactly the same as I’ve got a 250 mile drive, usually on boring motorways.

Exactly

Hey Emiralust, Where did you get your insurance from? I’m 36 and I was quoted £700, garage, 8000 miles in Surrey, 15 years NC. Admittedly haven’t shopped around yet Strange how insurance companies calculate it all

Yes, last time I checked it was at 26 cars. Good to see them moving and strangely some of the more expensive cars have gone, must be v spec specific. Wonder if the redline car actually went for £93k. Good to see in this market where very little is moving

Are similar price hikes coming to the Uk does anyone know? Expect them too but all articles quotes US only markets

Maybe wrongly but I was under the impression they come off the production line and make their way straight to dealers/customers etc Wonder how long these sit outside in the rain for? Seems a lot of cars

Thanks Gavla. Think it’s been confirmed one set will fit in the boot if you take the driver out first but wondering if a 2nd set would fit in the car too in the space behind the front seats….. Be tight but maybe

Would also be interested in this🤞🏻 Worst case the passenger has to sit with their set in the front but might be a bit cramped

😍

yep, agree and had my circumstances changed I may have done the same but my comments were more on what I expect for Emira residuals rather than talking about what a flipper is. That’s a can of worms in itself! Under no illusion this will not be an investment and it will lose money, but as cars...

Depends how you define flip. I was referring to people who went through checkout with no intention of holding onto the car but to make a few grand for their lost time and move on. Whether that be intentional or down to a change in circumstances, they still went ahead with the idea of making a...

Yes, but I think that was/is mainly flippers trying to make a quick £. Now overs aren’t being achieved I think only serious buyers will be going through checkout and with that I think a lot less cars will be coming on the market and that will stabilise prices. With the Evora, yes it was in a...

Lotus usually have a very slow depreciation compared to most comparable sports cars and think the same will happen with the Emira. Imagine it will be very similar dep curve to a Porsche cayman GTS 4.0. But yes, the last 2 years where basically everything went for overs has well and truly ended.

Came to the same decision over the vantage and 911, and now can’t wait to get the car. Hopefully arriving in the next few weeks

Happened to me and had to wait three weeks for the to update but finally done and checkout done

Now that’s what I want to see :)
