List price of various Lotus '06 Exige option packs?

[chris_n]

I've lost my print out of these. I've tried a search but couldn't find anything, can anyone advise? In particular interested in the delivery charges and prep charges including plates, road tax etc, that I think is referred to as the delivery pack?

Thanks,
Chris

mostly dealer websites have the option list when you click on the car you wanted and then specs..? I know my dealer have that on their website here in Holland...

900 euros in Germany.......not that it helps you.

When is your car arriving? Mine is still not here.........

[chris_n]

I'm told it is being built right now. My dealer reckons it will hopefully arrive early next week and be prepped ready for the following weekend. I really hope so!

As far as I'm aware, the total delivery pack comes to £750. I'll check my order details and confirm when I get a chance.

[chris_n]

Thanks - much appreciated.

[emenel]

I've found it...

All inc. VAT

Delivery (plates, PDI, Fuel etc) £595
12 mth Tax + DOT first reg £203

Touring Pack £1,995
Super Touring Pack £1,995 (on top of £1,995 for t/pack)
Sport Pack £1,495
Super Sport Pack £2,495 (on top of £1,495 for s/pack)
Air Con £1,295
Metallic Paint £595
Lifestyle Paint £1,010
Traction Control £395
LSD £995 (in conjunction with Traction and Sport Pack only)

I think that's everything.

[chris_n]

Brilliant, thanks. It all makes sense now - I was struggling to remember how it all built up to the amount I am paying!

They're some of the fancier metallics that cost a bit extra. Specifically - Aspen white, Autumn Gold (yuck!), chilli red, chrome orange, graphite, krypton green, laser blue, phantom black.

Compared to which other new production car? I'd say it's light and cheap compared to most cars with anything approaching similar performance!

Edit - if you mean the option packs themselves rather than the base car I do agree - I only went for a limited subset!

Does the final cost start making this look cheap? www.pistonheads.com/sales/73339.htm

Yes, absolutely - especially when you think the 240R may go for less than that asking price.

I thought quite hard about looking for a 240R but as I did over 10k miles in under a year with my old Exige I really quite wanted an 06 car with traction control as I know I'll end up doing a few long trips in horrible conditions. Also, and I know it will sound silly, but I didn't really want a boot full of Accusump or to be limited to black or yellow!

I kept the spec of my S reasonably basic - anyone considering loading up an S with a few options would be crazy not to consider that 240R first.

I totally agree. I kept to the most basic spec for my S but included Aircon and Metallic paint. I've only had it 6 days but there is nothing on the options list that I now wish I had. All of that stuff goes out of the window as soon as you take your first bend at breakneck speed (on a private driveway of course).

If you don't mind me asking emenel - what does that leave you at price wise?

Not much change from £37k, and worth every penny. The way the option packs are set up it is very easy to nudge £40k so the sensible head had to come on and made me remember why I was buying the car. An Exige is still an Exige without e/windows, a bit more carpet, stowage net and driving lamps. The supercharger alone is enough to make you forget all of the comfort bits.

I was hoping to have met some of you guys on your Easter Monday run but I had virtually lived in the car since picking her up on Friday and Mrs Emenel was having none of it.

Next time.

Should have packed her in the car and killed two birds with the same stone

Wanna come bowling and out for a short run next week? KentLotus monthly meet? We're meeting in Riverhead (Sevenoaks) for a short run (about an hour max), then heading to Bowlplex in Tunbridge Wells. Would be nice to meet you.
