Discount? - LotusTalk

cleLotus · 02-21-2008, 05:38 PM

What is the typical discount for any Lotus? Just curious...

RoadDad · 02-21-2008, 05:39 PM

define "any Lotus."

alil'britdifferent · 02-21-2008, 05:39 PM

Do you mean discount from the MRSP?

RoadDad · 02-21-2008, 05:43 PM

Forget it. I'll start.

1948 Lotus MK1: discount $0.00

nvrblu · 02-21-2008, 05:47 PM

I bought an '05 in January of '06. The discount was about enough to cover sales tax and registration fees.

That was two years ago.

alil'britdifferent · 02-21-2008, 05:49 PM

OK then, I'll carry on:

I bet you could get this little number for a few cents off, if you are promt with paypal....

if it were a brand new car off MSRP?

IsellLotus · 02-22-2008, 06:31 AM

What were you looking for?
I have '07 Exige S's that need to go!

PM me if you are interested!

FLuXeXigeS · 02-22-2008, 09:17 AM

just noticed my local dealer dropped prices on the lotus about -$2-$3K 7 months after i got mine ... im guessing to make more room for the 2008 models

so if you are not picky you may be able to pick a 2007 model up for relatively cheap

Z-dculus · 02-22-2008, 09:20 AM

no one's ever gotten a discount on a Lotus in the history of the world.........ever.

I'm not sure about the Elise but the 2007 Exige S can get up to $6K off and probably more.

2008 Exige S 240 - Zero dollars off MSRP.

2007 Exige S - probably 2-5K+ off on a leftover

Your question is not specific at all... perhaps you could enlighten us with a model...

"How much off a Nissan?"

GT-R - $20K+ over MSRP

Sentra - 10% off

Yeah, I just noticed that, too. From today "3 to sell:" 3 for Sale..

But then there's this one also from 2/16 saying "I'm new and don't know about Lotus:" new to the forum

In the words of Gomer Pyle... "For shame, for shame!"

Allan Gibbs · 02-22-2008, 03:51 PM

Well, that's good. So, now CLELOTUS knows it's $6K off an Exige S (Lotus Beverly Hill Lotus). Care to do better?

IsellLotus · 02-22-2008, 03:54 PM

Sure!
