It's a good point -- it really does depend on your order contract.amcmahon said:They'd have to leave it on there and suck up the cost. Our order forms are legally binding contracts. Mine has everything listed that I'm going to get. If they added that without telling me it's their loss. And that's something you can take to court. Just don't toss your orders away, not that anyone has.
Just a point of clarification, my source does not know how many cars are being done, just that some cars will be done in port before going to the dealer. This could be 1 car or 35 for all I know and I don't think he knows either until July 9th. If he communicates something earlier to me I'll let you know what I hear. I just don't want people panicing that ALL cars are going to be done or something because I've received no indication to that effect, only that "some" cars are being done. As someone pointed out, these could all be dealer demo cars being done and not any customer cars. I am also of the opinion that no way will it cost $1200, maybe 1/2 that at best... of course that's just an educated guess on my part, I've not seen any pricing and none has been communicated to me either.Ground Loop said:It's a good point -- it really does depend on your order contract.
I checked mine, and it's not that specific... not even close. You probably have a very generous contract that protects you from price increases. The contracts I've seen mostly protect the dealership from having to make any commitment. Tons of fine print, none in my favor.
If Lotus names a suggested price for the film (which they will), a dealership might even argue that the "MSRP" term is still correct.
I'm not even a Devil's Advocate here, but since Later Apex mentioned film *was* being applied before any July 15 deliveries, it does make one wonder who ordered them that way and how we would deal with it.
well then they'd just tell you.."oops you didn't order one with a clearbra? well, we'll have to re-order it for you."amcmahon said:They'd have to leave it on there and suck up the cost.

Oral agreements can be just as strong as written one's. If the time they specified is when the car comes and they call you on it to pick it up they're going to be hard pressed to not give it to you then.atyclb said:well then they'd just tell you.."oops you didn't order one with a clearbra? well, we'll have to re-order it for you."
Your binding contract doesn't state when you'll get your car
It is a good number. There is some mention of possibly a cheaper option with less parts.Genjuro said:Where did this $1200 number come from?
No. It was just something that someone thought when it was mentioned that the film installer is scheduled to put film on some cars soon, and nobody has been called by their dealers to ask if we want film.OneFastMiata said:did someone say they're going to put the bra on all the cars without asking us?
Oh, it's entirely idle conjecture and breathless nail-biting.Edelman said:Is this just conjecture or are you aware of this actually going on?
