Earth Motor Cars said that? Seems odd. The Expel I get. It’s a third party and the expense has been taken. 10k over which MSRP, phase 1 or 2? Phase 2 was $10k higher so it may just be the new MSRP for someone that orders today? My experience is that Brad and his staff are pretty solid to deal with.
Yes it’s earth motor cars and it’s for phase 1. I’ve been dealing with Lukas and Jonathan
I'm reserved through EuroCar, so I appreciate you doing the due diligence on this. I've been worried about them tacking on 10k at the last second. Fortunately I tracked down an email they sent out in March of last year saying that at least FE1.0 reservation holders were price-locked at 93.9k, which I'm going to throw in their face if they try anything weird.
Well then it’s not $10k over MSRP. It’s current MSRP that is $10K more than the early depositor would have paid. Think of it more as a loss of a discount than ADM.
yeeeesh! I do not agree with world economy sentiment. China is going through its own 2008 at the moment. Does not mean the world's economy is going with it. Don't confuse US 2008 and China's. The yuan isn't the world reserve currency. Will there be some economic turmoil from the decreased spending of the Chinese consumer, absolutely. Commercial real estate in certain cities will have some pain, but it won't induce what you are thinking.
I hear what you are saying... but the other guy has a woman on a stripper pole as an avatar. It's really hard to know who to trust these days.
Both views portray revealing insights, one with additional spin.
Is current MSRP $119k? Because that’s what it’s costing me including the options and the $10k up charge
Current MSRP with no added options is $105,400. Black pack adds $1400. Alcantara Steering Wheel another $530. There might be other options, but those I know.
The options include Xpel coating which can be several thousand, so yes that could be right. Fully kitted out with black pack and alcantara is $107,300 plus another $6,000 - $8,000 for Xpel (you don’t say which coating) plus destination of $2,400 I think it was.
But MSRP has a definition. It's literally just the list price from Lotus for the car and it's options. XPEL, Destination, and any other add-on will always be below the MSRP line on your purchase form.
but OP said he was paying ADM of $10,000. Paying ADM and paying for Xpel and Destination are two different things. Paying more than the base vehicle price AND getting additional upgrades is pretty normal. We’re not talking about Fargo and TruCoat here…..
No $119k is for the car only. Ceramic is an extra $1295 and destination is also for extra. Total is a hair over $130k total with TT&L
There is also a $1709 dealer prep fee.Not sure what that is or if that’s the destination fee ?
