I live in Indy and the closest dealer is ~3 hours away. Is Lotus considering increasing their dealer presence since they're going from selling ~100 cars a year to ~3000???

Thanks.

I would suggest making the drive to FVMC...

Many of the "new" dealerships that have been popping up don't seem to have a grip on reality and many have been feeding their customers false information.

Fox is where I have my deposit (#3), I'm just dreading having to drive all that way for service (or worse, have her towed there because of a failure).

I'd love to have the Toyota dealer to be able to do basic service.

3 hours!??! that's nothing.


I live in Omaha, and am getting the car from Autostrada in Austin. What is that, a 14-hr drive?

And the closest dealer for service is either Minnesota or Chicago. 9 hours.

SUCKS!

Ferrari of Denver is closer than that - they're a fairly new Lotus dealer.

Mapquest reports Omaha to St. Peters, MO as just a hair over 6 hours.

I was actually rather psyched to get my deposit down with Autostrada. I've got some good friends there, and I got a great spot on the waiting list. That, and Austin has got some of the most fun public roads i've been on in a while.

What's the dealer in St. Peters, MO?

I don't mind either shipping the car out to a dealer to get fixed, or (if it's minor) taking a little weekend 'getaway'.

Looks like I've got a handful of dealerships within a days drive. Wasn't aware of the Denver dealership.

I guess I'm spoiled having my Rover and Porsche service 15 minutes away...

Omaha...?!? You're not going to camo paint your Lotus and put a gun rack in it are you...???? HA HA!

Or check out their home page - quite possibly the only page on the web advertising BOTH the Elise and the H2!

That's a first ... someone that thinks of Nebrasaka as a hunting state. I usually get the "are you sure the Elise will be able to manage on the dirt roads?"

Never noticed that dealership before. Whoops!



Looks like I could just plan out a handful of roadtrips to dealerships around here, just for service!

Actually we have always had "dealer" status but made the decision not to carry any new Esprits in stock when the new Maserati came back to N. America. Now that Lotus has finally decided to bring a car we can sell Ferrari is whining about it

I stand corrected.

BTW, my experience with Ferrari of Denver has been very positive. No baloney, just good customer service.

No problem Jeff, I hope I didn't come across to you like I was bickering about what you said. I'm sure whomever you placed your deposit with will take very good care of you and when any news comes our way we'll forward it you.
Cheers

No offfense taken. John Yueh is my salesman. I really do like your operation - great showroom floor and no pressure.

You're in good hands with John, he's a great guy. I'm glad you like the showroom, did you ever visit us in the old location?
