I decided to put together a spreadsheet of all the dealers from the Lotus Website. I went through a bunch of old messages on this board and on the Lotuscarsforum board. This summarizes the highest number anyone reported on a dealers list. If you know of a better number post it and I will update the list.
State Dealer Unofficial Number of Deposits
AZ Scottsdale 15
CA Boardwalk
Los Gatos 45
Newport Beach 5
Silver Star 21
Smith
Symbolic La Jolla 68
Symbolic Beverly Hills 32
We still have many dealers with no number whatsoever. Boardwalk, Matheny, Prestige, JN, Lotus Motorsports, Carolina, Classic, San Antonio. I also think Midwestern is way off. I would bet it really is over 1,500.

Paul when did you put your deposit down and what is your number? What is the documentation fee? I am glad to see you think they are a good dealer. I live in Ohio and put mine with them also, last January. I just need to work out the purchase between the two states with sales and licences and such.
Last night I come home from work and it seems that Auto Europe (MI) has sent me a very nice poster with , a lotus pen and a memo with my number in line out of 45. Here is an updated list.

This list was compiled on the basis of posts. I have not seen any new posts regarding the NY dealers. I will update as soon as I hear differently, but I would bet this list is on the low side of what actually is out there. I do know that over the last year some dealers have started asking for larger deposits and are starting to inflate the price. It could be that these dealers started doing that at the beginning of the year. If I was a dealer I would not be giving these cars away just yet.
I can bring the numbers up to date but this thread disappeared and not much has been posted for a month. Tell me what you know.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
