The file was too big, so I had to split it

Is that your car? Where was that video taken?

Nice!! I assume this is ship #2. My Emira is on ship #3, so getting closer!

Do we have the VINs on the cars that have arrived at port?

 

[ttvetdoc]

This kinda answers a thought that I had about 1.0 and 2.0 FEs. Looks like color is irrelevant.

Do we have the VINs on the cars that have arrived at port?

I have a VIN and my Emira is still on the water, as far as I know (boat #3 arriving).

Remind me again - you're a 1.0 from Cape Fear?

Asking mainly for the actual vins that arrived. I couldn't wait so I paid for the BOL and mine 10878 was on Atantic Sea and is in Baltimore. Maybe this car actually exists!

FULL, OUT OF THE DOOR PRICE?

For US buyers, if the price of the car is $95,830, how much do you expect to pay out of the door. I assume some % of taxes by state. Anything else??? Any potential dealer or hidden fees? Would those be legal I a deposit was made a while ago. Thanks

At 285 cars that's $26M in revenue minimum for Lotus Cars from dealer invoices, just in time for Lotus Tech to IPO and claim the sales and revenue from Lotus cars USA in its press releases.

The daytime running lights are not amber though, right? They were always white in the euro spec models. I just want to make sure because amber running lights would be a huge lose IMO

That's pretty good. I think our tax rate is closer to 7 3/4 % in CT ( It's graduated and depends on the value of the car and I haven't checked it recently)

I think many states will also have a "dealer conveyance fee" or some such BS fee of around $495-$895 that you can negotiate under normal circumstances. ( Sometimes the state law dictates that this charge has to be the same for all cars so dealers will take it off the MSRP rather than delete the conveyance fee.) In the case of the Emira I ended up swallowing it given the demand and hassle of finding an allocation.

Just to piss on all of us in CT we also have annual property tax on cars which can be another $1000-$3000 depending on assessment. ( I pay about $2300/yr on my Aston and a little over $1000 for my last Porsche). Not really a cost related to the purchase of the car but an irritating annual cost of ownership.

MSRP + Dealer fee + Electronic filing fee + tag fee + registration cost + state sales tax + transportation fee.
The MSRP on my car is $106,800. I expect to pay $118,148 in FL.

Just stopped in Manhattan Motorcars (not my dealership) and they told me they won’t be getting any stock because NY is a CARB state. Honestly think they simply have no idea.

Several Rimacs and Koenigseggs available so I guess the Emira is even more exclusive!

Is the transportation fee included in the price? I thought that I read that the fee was included in the price.

It's likely both are true. I really don't think CARB state dealers are getting any cars before CARB approval is received at this point.

I also don't know if the CARB state cars are built. No one has received a VIN that I know of. We just have to wait longer than the Non-CARB guys. As long as they stay away from our local Cars and Coffee events, there will be no hard feelings.

It’s not.
