USA/Canada Delivery Thread

@Nova is the GOAT! I operated my timeline based on his tracking sheet. Once I saw my car on his list (July 4), I sold my Corvette C8 that same day to my local dealer to make space. Waiting now for the Emira to get to my dealer.

@Nova: I did. Please see screenshot. Not sure how much to believe the response.

Dear Parasran,

If you believe your Lotus source, I have a bridge to sell you!
Like Nova said, fingers are crossed but for your own mental health, don't buy in to the info you received.

Looking forward to your comparison of the two cars, including once the shiny penny syndrome wears off.
My Emira exceeds everything I loved about my Esprit .

 

[EHmira]

Yes, it is! Totally unexpected.

Congrats! looks like they shipped the US ones before the Cnd ones.

Thanks. July 4. What is your spec?

@4Lotus I'm a DV over alcantara with sport/FI. Same ship as yours. My dealer hasn't received my invoice yet.

I am DV with sport, too. Tan leather interior. Old school. Looking forward to seeing pics when yours arrives. So long to wait.

That’s a good problem to have. lol. My dealer got the invoice for my car but never said when it would be in Montreal hopefully at least next week

Haha, good call on mental health. Although after >2.5 years of waiting, too late for the mental health game.

I’ve been in contact over the past week with a dealer who’s adamant that they have their first automatic currently on a boat so I have hope.

I look forward to some day being in the group where I sell a car not to free up cash but to free up space. Love it!

Dealer called my car has arrived 1 week shy of 3 years. Still can’t believe I actually will pick it up Thursday

 

[Hell4Leather]

lol me too. I was gonna put a lift in. hopefully mine arrives in Montreal this week too

I wish I could. The ceiling height in my garage is about 1 foot too low. The thought of busting a car shaped hole into my attic is not appealing.

Right there with ya. I thought about lifting the roof on my small detached garage, but it's just not worth it. When I was shopping 570s I was measuring vertical distances to make sure I could open the door inside the garage and it was like an inch off from hitting the garage door track. First world problems I guess.

Arrived at dealer this morning.

 

[SSJAR]

Received my Emira via delivery late on Saturday evening. Was a long wait but well worth it!

12/2021 - Deposit placed
12/2023 - Order finalized (FE2)
5/13/2024 - Car unloaded in Baltimore
6/26/2024 - Notified car ready for pick up
7/13/2024 - Car delivered via enclosed carrier (front end PPF was installed prior)

Only put about 25 miles on it thus far, but is a blast to drive. Took the pic after a quick wash on Sunday morning.

Thanks to everyone on this thread over the years, it has been a great source of information and comradery. Also, a big thanks to Gator Motorsports, they were top notch and no surprises through the entire delivery process!
