It is when LCU submits paperwork asking for payment for a car that is being readied for delivery to the dealer.Vangman said:
Lotus UK sells cars to Lotus Cars USA.
LCU sells the cars to the dealers. They invoice and dealer has to pay for the car.
Dealer notifies buyer that they have to pay dealer for the car.

dollar keeps going south against the pound and Lotus is therefore making a mid-course correction to avoid losing money.

How many customer cars did they deliver......30-40.
What a joke.......pathetic.
Guess I will be taking a serious look at the 2005 SLK.
It's the principle.......I have killed many a deal over trust (or lack of). The point is that they should have put the price higher in the 1st place......I wouldn't have batted an eye.
I am loyal until I get stabbed in the back. It's only a thousand bucks but the method was sophmoric.

Projected MSRP
When I made my deposit ('Partial Payment' according to my receipt) my salesman put "MSRP to be $40,000 to $42,000". This was when Lotus had expressed intention to keep it below $40k. I figured I would be willing to pay at least $42k base MSRP whenever my car finally arrived. Looks like it's going to be less than my upper limit. Oh yeah, the salesman put down what I asked him to write, so if the price went beyond what I thought reasonable, the contract would no longer be binding. I don't know what the problem is. I can understand if the initial MSRP was $12k, but this is just a fact of life. I can't say I'm happy to pay almost a grand more for my Elise, but I definitely don't feel the Lotus is doing anything unethical or unfair and the Elise is more than twice what I've ever paid for a car before. Just my two cents worth.
