Headed to pick up manual Emira at Victory Lotus

I’ve been craving a manual lately and am very excited to pick up a dark verdant green 2024 v6 lotus with tan interior today at victory lotus in New Brunswick NJ.

I’ll post some pics once I have it.

fun little car, hydraulic steering, sport suspension, fairly light. Can be made faster fairly easily.

 

Well, I went to victory lotus with my wife to take delivery, as per the signed $2500 deposit agreement, and was told that the dealership owner had taken the car personally and shipped it to himself in south Florida. Despite my reserving deposit on the specific car.

I told them mistakes happen and I was okay waiting for it to be shipped back, and they told me he wouldn’t be returning it to me.

They then tried to upsell me to a +$20k limited edition.

When I told them they owed me the original car or a mechanically equivalent new emira at the same price, they told me they could sell any car to anyone they want, with or without an existing customer deposit, and that they owed me absolutely nothing. they then hid in a room with the door closed until we left. They’re now unresponsive.

I’ve maybe bought a dozen cars in my life, and seen plenty of hijinx, but this is by far the worst.

For anyone considering doing business with Victory Lotus: don’t. They are the worst of the worst.

now have to find another one. Not many manuals with sport suspensions nearby..
