I spoke to a Lotus Dealership today (I won't name them to protect them from phone calls) and spoke with the person at the dealership who knows the most about the Elise. According to him, they've been told to expect their first cars between June 28th and June 30th. They have confirmation of 2 cars to arrive at their dealership AND a demo for a total of 3. At least that is what I was told. I asked about the two cars and was told:
#1 - Saffron Yellow - touring package and hard top
#2 - Ardent Red - touring, sport, no hard top.
Well as many of you know, I've been looking for an Ardent Red / Biscuit car with Touring and Sport (hardtop optional) so I asked about this car. I was told by the salesman that he would contact the owner of the car to see if the owner wanted to sell because the dealership had worked out deals with some owners to resell their cars (at a profit to both the dealership and the owner).
So basically, if the owner says Yes, they'll want something over MSRP for the car, if the owner says no, then I can check back when the next shipment comes in.
Anyway, I found this interesting and was wondering if anyone else has heard similar stories from other dealerships or have heard those same arrival dates, etc. ?
TIA!
