Please tell him Mark Mitchell sent you so he knows that there are a group of us together exchanging information.
Doing a little Math 2200 cars per year 40 or so dealers equals roughly 5 cars per month per dealer. I think this is realistic so even though I'm in the second batch I'm not expecting car till August or September. Austin confirmed today that Lotus hasn't given them any definitive answers but he is guessing first deliveries end of May early June, and 5 per month is probably realistic. Keep our fingers crossed.
So far Austin has been real straight with me I hope he treats you the same, let me know at [email protected] if he doesn't or if I've given you any bad information.
Mark Mitchell soo near yet soooo far away---can't wait
PS: I'm not connected with Desert European in any way, just want to help out all you guys that are over 50 (10 months out) on someone elses list.
OH one other thing no extra deposit was required upon actual ordering of car.
