I dunno about you other (*elise*).com site owners out there, but I've answered a lot of questions about the elise, where to get it, how much it costs, and directed a lot of potential buyers to lotuscars.com and here for more info.

On top of that, I've had to deal with silly solicitations like the one below. I don't get why people think that just cause I have an "Elise" site that I'm somehow affiliated with Lotus???:

Maybe I should gather up all the BS inquiries I've dealt with for Lotus and use it to bargain a lower price?

[Solicitor],

Here's the info I have (I think it's a bit antiquated, though... They moved recently)

770-476-6540
770-476-6541 Fax
1-800-24 LOTUS ( 1-800-245-6887)

If you can't get through at that number, try asking at www.elisetalk.com <--- elise owner's community.

Regards,

Steve

PS - I'm not affiliated with Lotus. I'm just an enthusiast. =)

I would like to know if you are interetsed in putting an Elise on display at a trade show in Las Vegas in March
2005. We have an idea that would help us promote one of our clients product lines at the Store Fixturing show. please contact me.

I would send them an invoice if I was you

Maybe you should make yourself a foreign corporation operating out of Cuba or some other place that has no extradiction policy with the US and tell people that you are now accepting deposits and tell them to send you money.......

Just post the estimated Delivery schedule as fall 2003 and never change it

Well, considering that on April 1st, 2004, you were the one who said the Hethel factory burnt to the ground, I'd say you and Lotus are just about even.

Thought we forgot about that did you? :no:

Lotus certainly hasn't, they're working up something very special for his car, that's why he moved up the list so quickly, they just told him it was dropoffs.
