Do any SoCal Lotus dealers have the 240S in stock?

I've seen other dealers post that they have 240Ss in stock.

Any dealers in LA or San Diego have them yet?

07 Exige

My friend and I were at Lamborghini of Orange County yesterday to drop off my Gallardo. We told the service writer that we were on our way to Newport Beach Lotus to make offers on a couple of Exiges to which the writer said that he would be happy to sell us a Lotus! LOC is connected to Lotus of Callabasas and Beverly Hills! My friend made an offer on an 07 Exige and we drove home in his new toy! Call Arman at LOC and he'll be able to hook you up to what you want.
The nicest people at LOC to deal with!

I had a S240 for two days before it left. Talk to your local dealer of choice though, as the regional rep has some of the launch cars he still needs to get rid of (if I remember correctly).

I saw the 4 new lotus keys myself and got to look at them and I'm not that dumb to not be able to tell the difference between the 07's and 08's. They all had black radiators and roof scoops...

Persian Blue looks a lot like Magnetic Blue it seems. I think they were HRM pics.
Saw it over at dupont registry

My friend bought the Aspen White 240S from them when they first arrived a few weeks ago. It is beautiful, power feels great, from the passenger seat anyway...and not yet 600 miles.

not really from LOC.......

Just to clarify a bit so as not to cause issues with Lamborghini of Orange County:
They own Lotus of Beverly Hills and warehouse some of their inventory because BH doesn't have the room. The car I wanted just happened to be at the warehouse in Orange County, and I certianly didn't want to drive up to Beverly Hills since the car was already there. The sale was technically made by Lotus of Beverly Hills, they called & faxed paperwork back and forth to get the transaction done.
Worked out well!

Just PM you. Was looking for an Exige last Saturday and had a NICE chat with your receptionist.
