    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I am trying to get out too. Unfortunately, true to Lotus form, I’m being ghosted by Boardwalk dealership.. They have ignored 2 formal emails requesting a refund. Time to pick up the phone and start hounding them. On a side note, I’ve been speaking with a local Porsche dealership about a GTS...

    Yep! My wife’s i4 has been on the sea for roughly a month. It’s due to arrive on Thursday! Such an easier purchasing experience!

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I’ve had my deposit in for 2 years. two is also the number of times I was supposed to test drive the car but once, I didn’t make it in line fast enough and the second time, the car broke down the day before. I have kept hoping something would change with Lotus. But as stated above, they...

    I’ve used both of these credit unions. Much better rates…

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I totally missed your prior post. Unfortunately, since missing out on two test drives, my interest has waned. That said, I just added my name to the wait list. Don't know if I really want to drive 7 round trip for a 15 minute drive though! I really hope Boardwalk gets more in and fairly soon...

    Where is this happening? I missed the cut on the first test drive. The demo broke down before my scheduled second test drive. I’m now just impatiently waiting for a third attempt.

    Nitron Suspension Development

    Yeah, I'm a fan of the spacing being equal the entire perimeter between the tire and fender. Stock looks perfect to me.

    Being held to ransom with my own car

    How can you be “sure”? Honestly, in contrast, I believe there may be more owners with issues that are choosing to be silent. Doing so allows them to save face (avoid shame). Plus, if you choose to sell it shortly afterward, which many have chosen, you’re likely to have better results if you...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    FFS! My day started at 830a leaving Roseville to arrive at 11:00am in Redwood City. At 10:15, I get a call from Boardwalk, obviously to confirm I’m going to make my appointment, but nope! They tell me the demo broke down. Is this a freaking sign or what?! I ask if I can at least sit in it but...

    I have an appointment at Boardwalk for my first Emira. I was told it’s blue with sports suspension. It will be my first and likely only drive to base my decision on. If it’s as sad as KitKat describes, it might force me to cancel (especially when compounded with some of the failures I read here)...

    What tough questions remain? I too have my first test drive next Thursday. Btw, this is just a demo. Not their car they supposedly ordered long ago. Oh and just for reference, I made a deposit 11/2021. I showed up for their first demo months ago but couldn’t get a drive slot. That’s likely why...

    Power shifting (No lift shifting) in racing

    I no-lift shift on my SS1LE and I don’t think it’s abusive at all. Then again, it was designed for it 👍

    Hi Team, look what I can buy for $63K! thoughts?

    M2 definitely has some curves that I just don’t like, nearly hate. However, it’s a relative bargain for what you get and it’ll likely beat the Emira in just about every performance measure. Then add reliability which I honestly think will be at least equal to the Emira plus way more dealer...
