That’s even worse than the diesel E Class I got!!

I’m surprised given the extent of the repairs that Lotus haven’t just bought it back and written it off. Surely they are spending more in parts and labour than its currently worth?

It was a year old: HVAC resistor motor replaced Both wiring harnesses replaced due to corrosion Wiring failure SOS system failure Passenger door replaced after blistering resulting in a huge panel gap Fails to start intermittently Bell & Colvill didn’t want it when Lotus HQ asked them to buy...

I’m waiting for mine to appear on their website since no Lotus dealers/agents wanted it.

In my many dealings with Lotus customer care I genuinely felt they had no interest in retaining my business. This mass offload of problem Emira’s just confirms to me that they have no interest in your average Lotus enthusiast or the Lotus “family”. They’re far too busy paying David Gandy to say...

Mine was completely re-wired. There was a subsequent wire failure and Lotus bought it back. Corrosion of the wiring terminal is seemingly, and unfortunately, quite common.

23 plate Magma V6 on my street in Fetcham, Surrey this afternoon (4th Jan), anyone on here?

Buyers need to be very cautious with cars previously owned by ‘Lotus’. My troublesome Emira was bought by Lotus Technology and I wouldn’t put it past them (Lotus or Auto100) to be shifting them on as “directors cars” or “demonstrators”. They certainly won’t be telling anyone the wiring harness...

I bought it for £78k at the end of July 23. They bought it back for £58k in October. This was after Lotus CC assured me that a wiring failure was not due to the wiring harness being replaced. They either didn’t understand what had been done to the car or were being dishonest. Either way, they...

It was transferred to Lotus Technology Innovative on the 18th October

Mine was bought back, AP23VLC. I don’t believe it has been sold or even put on the market yet.

Unfortunately I don’t know. I haven’t seen it since and Lotus have now bought it back.

It’s official, my Emira journey is over. After months of back and forth Lotus have agreed to buy the car back. This photo was taken on my birthday in June 2 days before it was recovered. We had driven to Beaverbrook in Surrey and the doorman let us park right outside the Hotel next to the...

They are my local dealership and they have had my Emira now for 3.5 months. I guess they're too busy sorting all the problems out to talk about recalls!!
