Has anyone succeeded in getting a discount on a new Exige?

If so what's the dealership?

I'm getting stone walled at the moment frown

I think all the new car deals have dried up. Just under two months ago, I got a car specced to £63,000 for £57k including 50/50 interest free over 24 months. Same dealer is now listing cars at close to £70k, albeit with a few bits of extra carbon.

Based on a recent chat with one of the dealers it would appear Lotus have been trying to clamp down on the dealers discounting new cars. You may find more scope on a pre-registered car, as I imagine there is nothing Lotus can do about used vehicles.

I got a discount on my 380 but that was back in March. At the time the dealer told me that Lotus were putting pressure on dealers to reduce discounting but. Igniters that and negotiated as hard as I could, whilst accepting that I wasn't really prepared to walk away. A couple of days of standoff and I got to within £500 of my target price. Think it was around 7% off on a pretty well specced car with list of high 70s.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't still get a deal, especially if you are willing to take a car from dealer stock, which is what I did.

The only deals you will get will be on cars they already have in stock unregistered.

I specced a car to £63k and was offered it for £60k.

They had an unregistered car that was around £65k due to lots of options and i got it for £57400 (included in that deal was a full detail and ceramic coating). It happened to be the right colour combo for me so took that deal.
