Has anyone delt with the Fox Valley dealer and whatis thier story. I will attempt to deal with them soon and was wondering what they are like. I don't want to say what my trade in will be because I know the dealers are all over this site.

Are you buying or selling a Lotus? In general you can get more for your trade-in from a private sale than going through a dealer.

FWIW, I buy all of my parts from FVMC and have them shipped to VA. My next new Lotus will come from FVMC and will be shipped to me as well. Well, I may fly up so that I can meet the guys I talk to on the phone regularly and then drive the car home...

T.J.,
I'm still waiting for you to move down here so you can work on my car .

I also buy all of my parts from Fox Valley.

Everyone that I've come in contact with from the dealership at track days and over the phone is first class.

I also buy all my parts from them, and have them shipped to California. John in parts is great, and their prices are discounted as well.

Sorry dude. We got him welded to the wall so he doesn't go anywhere. We just roll up the cars to him so he can work.

I traded a '92 NSX when I purchased my Elise in '04. I got a very fair price from them.
continuing the FVMC love-fest.....
