USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[UCLAFC]

Looking for some advice. The Emira I put a deposit on last year just showed up at the dealer. I had a signed purchase agreement from when I put the deposit down (first screenshot) but the dealer just sent me an updated purchase agreement (second screenshot) that's higher. The window sticker (third screenshot) shows charges for options that were implied in the original offer (configuration) code as well as a Transportation and Port Processing fee. How has the sales process been for others who put deposits down prior to the new tariffs? Were there purchase agreement changes and how did you / would you navigate them? I'm not comfortable sharing who the dealer is until this plays out.

This is consistent with what i went through, the previous price was pretarrif, and went up about 7k to 116,700 post tariff delivery. My dealer was always straightforward with price increase, let me know even before car shipped from Hethel. Finally got my car back from ppf just last week and no regrets on my end. 150 miles commuting to work this past week and I’m all smiles. Def worth the wait, no issues so far, car has fired right up every time, no CELs, just waiting to hit 1k and open her up in track mode. I know it sucks we have to pay more but Lotus wasn’t going to eat those tariffs and who am I kidding, I was willing to pay the xtra after waiting almost 2 years.

I was given the option to get a full refund on my deposit in light of the increased price. I also asked if I could swap the wheels onto a separate, cheaper 2024 Emira they had but was told they can't deviate from what's speciie d on the sticker. Also asked about 2026 pricing and was told they don't have any for the V6. The pics they've sent me (below) made me realize that I just need to have this thing. Picking it up on Wednesday.

Congratulations! I think you made the right call. Any price increase is a tough pill to swallow when you thought you already had a deal. However there’s nothing at the increased price point that I’d be more drawn to. The Porsche doesn’t excite me and nothing else comes with manual transmission unless you’re willing to buy older/used.

Congrats! Beautiful spec! Totally know the feeling. I wasn’t too happy with price increase but as soon as I picked her up from the dealer I have to say that what the last thing on my mind when I saw the car in person. Even now I always walk to the garage to see the car before going to bed and kissing my little ones goodnight C63 goes outside in driveway.
