Asking for a final order and taking a 10K deposit without pricing..... typical Lotus, should we expect more

He did say finalize this week, and just for the record, I have yet to top up my deposit. Hoping there are no big surprises on price. Hopefully tomorrow I get everything settled. I did just email him again.

I believe I saw someone posted it on Facebook group, FE v2 is $129900. $10k more than 1.0.

Yup, was confirmed.

I can confirm 129,900 is MSRP for First Edition V2

I just got off phone with Paul at Gentry and he said $129k. I asked if the website has been updated and he said it is, but I still see it at $119k?

Just wanted to pop this in for all the F/E 2.0 and 1.0 customers :

FAQ: Canada’s new luxury tax and dealerships

Everyone that deposited prior to Jan 1 2022 - with a written agreement and a deposit taken is 100% Lux Tax exempt. - Just a heads up since every F/E should be exempt.

 

[Lotustoronto]

And if we find out you did pay Lux Tax we know who jumped the line.... haha

Does anyone here find it odd that Canadian V2 f/e price is said to be 129K - Yet on the Canadian configurator it is $119,888? With all the V2 colour options available.

With people placing firm orders / receiving allocations to build and second deposits, It is unacceptable to have the wrong pricing advertised.

Correct me if I am wrong but this is actually illegal. I seriously can not understand Lotus and their inability for clarity and erroneous amount of errors 2 years into the Launch of the Emira is something else.

Sale above advertised price

Section 74.05 of the Competition Act prohibits the sale or rent of a product at a price higher than its advertised price.

I just mentioned that discrepancy to my dealer other day. Had no answers.

" prices may be subject to change between the time we receive your configuration and the time you place your order"

You placed your order. The advertised price is different than your order. If that isn't breach of advertising law then I don't know what is.

The clause makes sense if I placed an order two years ago and the configurator has changed since my allocation came up then sure I get it. But for the V2 guys this is a firm breach of advertising law. If that single line covers it, then everyone would be advertising lower prices and then selling at higher. I have never seen from any manufacturer being able to configure a car with the correct options and receiving an allocation than getting a bill of sale for a different MSRP. Pretty Wild.

not to argue with you - Since you agreed, more so to highlight the ridiculousness of Lotus Cars USA towards Canada in general, since they run the show from Detroit. Lotus needs dedicated reps for Canada, instead of us being an after thought.
