Porsche Spain are having their best year ever and no cars to be had at all. Certainly not cancelled orders.

No lotus dealer in madrid and no new cars to be ordered from barcelona either.
If no interest in the emira in Spain then I clearly misunderstood why you would want to import one there
Apologies, no I was talking more generally about imports from EU, wasn’t sure how it worked!
Appreciate the heads up, I’ll connect with the dealers & see what they come up with….
Emira order is/was for U.K. but will likely cancel due to delays & naff service

ok sure... if you want a porsche.. unlike in the UK, you can generally get a discount in Spain, hence shop around.. or if you actually get serious and can afford to wait, let me know and I will put you in touch with the "right" dealer..
but if you want something now.. or soon.... well best of luck, you will pay well over the odds and used cars in spain are probably generally about 30% higher prices than they were / are in the UK

Cheers, you’re a gent! I’m in no rush, I still have the Citroen & realistically I won’t be over until the New Year so I can pick it all up then…. In a “perfect world” I’d love a GT3. Aim high right! Lol

I'm hearing first UK flipped car on sale for £105k. Anyone seen anything?
A few months ago I read someone saying on another forum that they and a friend have done a deal with a (non-Lotus) dealer to sell their two cars for £105k each. I believe that's the origin of many of the rumours. Not seen any evidence of them actually being advertised or sold at that level yet.

I'm told this one was at a Lotus dealership, collected then put on the market with the same dealer a few days later!?! It's yellow from the photos I've seen, which were at said dealership but nothing on them showing it as up for sale. I've no reason to doubt the person with the info though as he is a good guy.
