Hi, I am in the market for a low mileage. V6 Manual emira preferably in grey ext. color and black interior. I have been keeping an eye for that combo on various platforms but have not seen any recently. After many years of BMW M car ownership (E92, F82, G82), looking to get into a Lotus (as a weekend car). Has anyone made that switch?

I am located in Montreal, Qc. Let me know.

Welcome to the forum, @rush111! It's not a bona fide M car, but I sold my F30 ZHP 340i pushing around 400hp about a year after I got the Emira. I loved the bimmer and the B58 powerplant but overall the car was quite docile compared to the Emira and ended up sitting under a cover most of the time after the Lotus arrived.

But not sad about the replacement:

If you can't find a "low mileage used one", my Lotus dealer in Calgary has a new but 2024 Emira for sale, in your color. However it's a V4 turbo automatic transmission which may be a deal-breaker for you. Since it's a 2024, I expect you'd get a really good discount, moreso with September around the corner when sport car sales start to tank, in my part of Canada (Alberta). They deal with high-end vehicles (Lotus is their lowest line) so I'm sure they'd ship to you, no problem, and likely at a discounted rate. Just complain about the luxury tax...and throw in your higher taxes in Quebec for good measure, as ammunition to get a better price (lol).


They also have a 2025 Nimbus Grey automatic V4, with a $40,000.00 higher asking price, which illustrates the price difference for that newer year.

Perhaps you've seen the new 2025 Nimbus Grey V6 STANDARD TRANSMISSION that Lotus of Ontario is selling, which might be exactly what you're looking for, but new, however it's got a heftier asking price, compared to the 2024 (but a better deal, compared to Calgary's 2025):


Then there's the new 2024 Zinc Grey (auto transmission) at Lotus Montreal, which would save you ship costs compared to Calgary:


Finally, I found this used one in BC (about 7,000 km, manual V6, but in YELLOW) however I think they're asking too much for it, but you'd avoid the luxury tax:


Good luck with your hunt! (The car is worth the effort!!)

PS: I just notice Lotus Montreal (your City) has a used grey 2024 with almost 6,600 km BUT once again, it's a V4 auto transmission (sigh). Priced too high, IMO. I'm sure you're aware of that.
