I recently sold a 718 GT4 manual. The gear 'issue' is about the ability of second to reach 85 mph iirc thus on B roads you don't have to do much gear swooping with the fab short throw box........however the engine is so torque infested that I just changed up to third etc and ignored the ratios...

That's the point Lotus seem to miss......taking a punt with £80k shouldn't be necessary. Others , higher end companies, will organise getting a drive in cars with the features you see as key or arrange a view of other colours. It's about attitude.

I don't think so. No change to dates.

In December I requested a spec change on the exterior colour and interior leather. This was a bit of a test to see how quickly CS would respond.......they didn't follow thru' so I cancelled my order and chased the deposit, which was returned. My original delivery date was July 22 but had been...

If you buy a Lotus, then be prepared to deal with the service/warranty issues by spending time via email, telephone, and at the agent. Porsche is a doddle in comparison. My 5 or so Porkers have all had warranty claims for various issues but no quibbles, from the engine out to replacement dash...

I did get a go in this one, no cupholders, Kef or luggage space

Lotus aren't so bad.......I couldn't get a test drive in this Ferrari

Lotus has failed to engage with potential customers.....that's a huge cause of negativity and cancellations, amongst other reasons

Last time I hit a diesel spillage ( hidden in wet conditions ) it felt like skidding on ice........very distinctive, happened a couple of times on roundabouts.

According to a Lawyer friend, the money laundering procedures are very tight and penalties are real if you don't comply. Recently I sold a motorbike and wouldn't release it until funds had been cleared but the purchaser wouldn't pay until he had seen the bike so he brought cash, £13,000. Off we...

I had this problem some years back. The logjam was that the car dealer pays a commission when taking a card deposit and they want to claw that back which happens when they reverse the transaction to the card. So Lotus can't do this but it's usually a tiny transaction percentage. It may be worth...

My view is different. Lotus's primary concern is selling new cars. The pre-owned market contributes nothing to their P&L or balance sheet, the market will decide residuals (Adam Smith, The Wealth Of Nations, 1776)......and don't get fooled by limited editions like the Porker GT3 where ensuring...

This is a very bitchy thread,

It's odd. The lack of line operatives in that video. They are there but too many are hiding, slacking, bunking off in the bike sheds having a fag.....now we know why delivery is off schedule.

Got ya, we don't know nowt?😁 When folk realise the Emira is good at going round in circles it may increase desire, demand and price......maybe, maybe not🤣
