Ok all, first let me be clear in saying I am VERY glad that my car is scheduled to hit the harbor in 2 weeks. However, I am NOT happy to hear that Lotus is raising(raised) the MSRP AND some of the option costs.
Not only are they FAR FAR behind on their promises for delivery (I was July/August) but now I find out that they also are charging more.
Was just told MSRP went up from $39, 985 to $40,930 + $795 Destination for a total base price of $41,725.
They are also raising the prices of the options, ie. Stage II exhaust went from $695 to $1,000 + INSTALLATION!
What else am I going to be hit up for prior to receiving this car?? Does Lotus feel that they can squeeze more money out of us because we have waited this long and if we drop out the dealers can sell the cars regardless??
Once they sell us our cars are they going to spring new "maintanence" costs on us?
Since we have stuck with them over all the months and months of delays why can't they honor their prices?
Getting this car is has and continues to be bitter xweet.
