Greetings Everyone! 
I'm Brandon and I recently acquired a friend's 2024 Emira V6 First Edition. He and I were both considering a reservation, back when they were announced; But when we ended up configuring exactly the same unit, I decided to let him have the Lotus and I moved on to a few other cars.
Fast forward a year, during which I watched and admired the car, after he took delivery in March of 2024; I witnessed the ownership experience (glitches and all), first hand, and he was gracious enough to let me drive the car on occasion. It was as close to owning as I could get, until today.
I had always said, "When you get ready to move on from this one, I'd like to have the first opportunity to make an offer." Last week, that call finally came. We quickly agreed on a price and set about formalizing the deal.
He had already sent the car down to Atlanta, for it's 12 month scheduled maintenance, to address the occasional non-start issue, and see why the Check Engine recently illuminated. I've asked him to let me pick the car up, once it is done, so that I can experience the Lotus Service department for myself; since it will become a familiar element of Lotus ownership.
Needless to say, I am extremely excited and looking forward to enjoying this car.
I also have a burgeoning YouTube Channel, where I feature a few of my other cars, and I am planning on some content that features the Emira.
Thanks, and I look forward to being a part of this forum and the Emira ownerhship "club".
