I thought I'd start this thread to see if any other dealers have been as lucky as Overseas Motors. As stated on other threads, they have received a storm titanium elise with red interior which Lotus called and asked them if they wanted an extra car. They say they did not order the car, it is not there demo nor a customer car. So, it's up for grabs. I didn't ask how much. Anyway, I was told this won't affect their allocation as this was an "extra" car. I asked if they were expecting any other "extra" cars and he said no. I hope not or this just moves me further down the list. Until this point, I felt that they were being honest but just didn't have a lot of information. Now I wonder about that.

I have a friend who is not on the list and they called him right away to tell him about the car but never called me and I doubt any other deposit holders.

Maybe Lotusman is one of the salesmen at Overseas and this makes him feel better.

Huggy Bear, you beat me to it.

I really don't mind if the dealer has an extra car to sell at market value if I knew that in the first place. I live within 2-3 hours from two different lotus dealers and chose Overseas because they are closest to me and I knew I would probably take the car there for service. The problem is that if they are getting 1 or more cars to sell at market value, that puts me further down the list. If they took the first few slots for themselves and that won't affect my position, then that's fine, they just should have told me that up front.
