There are always dealers but your willingness to drive X miles to get there seems to be your determining factor. How far are you willing to drive?

7 within 100 miles.

4 within 50 miles.

and 3 within 25 miles.

Errr..I promise there are no dealerships within 50 miles of Albany, let alone 25 miles



Did you get that off the Lotus website???



Oldog, the closest to you is probably Valenti in Watertown, CT. It's 79 miles from Albany according to Lotuscars.com. It's in upstate CT.

Maybe I used the wrong zip code? I did look it up on the Lotus website and it lists Valenti as 78 miles from the zip I used.

Sherm,

A standard Parker refill will work. You can find them at Wallymart, Staples, etc. I'm glad you're still using it .

Buy the car. Closest dealers to me here in Buffalo is Detroit...Pittsbugh....Cleveland and of course Toronto.

I use Detroit because I know the guys at Auto Europe.

Buy the car. Not that much goes wrong with it.
