Hey All,

I know a lot of dealers have been royally flammed on this forum but since I lucked out with mine I thought to put in my two cents.

Pat Marsh over at DE in Palmsprings, CA area is the sales manager for Lotus and has been 100% upfront and helpful.

I am very very glad I switched from Silverstar to them and do know that they have received around 11 or 12 cars.

My car is scheduled for a tenative pick up a week from this Saturday.

FINALLY! It has been a long wait but am VERY glad it's almost here. Hopefully my sight unseen and undriven purchase works out as I expected.

Regardless, DE has been very cool and a pleasure to work with.

Thought you all should know as I am definitely one to flame if earned.

Cool! I'm glad you're about to get your car. It's GG, right?

Anyway, Pat and Austin have been very cool and honest with me also. I too, almost put down a deposit with Silver Star and Newport in Oct 2003, but I waited almost 6 months to place my deposit with DE in April 2004 and I'm glad I did.

 

[Jasonv44]

Yep GG, LSS, Touring (red), Stage II but no hard top....

Can't wait, am absolutely drooling. When I get it I'll be sure to put up some picts of GG and Touring, haven't yet seen that combo on this site.

Yours should be here around Jan/Feb right Shay? Did you go with GG?

 

[shay2nak]

April, I think.

GG was my first choice, but I'm getting LB. Can I stop by to see your car after you pick it up? GG is one color I haven't yet seen which I am still interested in ordering.

Thanks!

Congratulations! It's always nice to see good news about a dealer here, and as far as I'm concerned, it's extra nice when it's about DE. I can't say that I've always been happy with the news they've had to pass along (and I don't blame them at all) but Austin has always been straight with me and very responsive. I'm #20, so Real Soon Now, I hope.

 

[Jasonv44]

Sure Shay, I'll let ya know when it comes in...tho since I don't YET have it I don't want to jinx myself!

I haven't seen any good picts of GG and Red Touring either nor have I head the Stage II...hope it's loud enough : ) LOL!

Hey there Shay. I was told my car would be about 18 months. I put down the deposit in September. My number is 54. I spoke to Jerry Lewis and he was honest about it. I appreciated the candor. However, he insisted the deposit was to hold a car for $5k over msrp. I told him we'll see how the market looks when it comes to ordering time. He agreed. We'll see what happens. I am on other lists for MSRP so I don't expect to have to pay extra.

Just got great news from Austin that my #20 car is on the water and will arrive in port on the 28th!

Shay, I tried to PM you but you're all full up.

[lil' john]YEEEAAAH!![/lil' john] Awesome news!! So what do you think, you'll see your car at the end of January?

As far as the PMs, I didn't get an email saying my box is full. It happened once before, but I just deleted a gang of messages so I should be fine for a while.


Crash, thanks for posting your info. I've updated the list. Damn, 18 months! That's crazy! I've never met Jerry, actually I've never heard of him. He must be new?
