Excellent

Will take a peak - thanks Bibs

Pity there are no prices attached, it means a bit of a repetitive trawl for the dealer parts man. In my experience most glaze over at the mention of sale parts

[Bibs]

I had this discussion with Lotus, they've done it on purpose. Dealers are welcome to post out the price list they have and I'd not be surprised it someone posted it in this thread before long anyway

[Günter]

so how have we to see it -this is just the list of parts available with 'regular stock' pricing ?

 

 

..dealer prices are here:

--and now: '' ..what is the 'sale out' price in comparision ''   ..or do we have to ask for every position ??

[Vulcan Grey]

The previous sales prices were very good.  The guys at Bell & Colvill were surprised how good of a price we were getting from Lotus.  I wouldn't be surprised if they are still great prices.

..but would you not like to see the price first -just for interest (and for comparision on e-bay/www   *on the 'not Lotus only' parts there, like various joints, pumps, valves etc. )  ??

[Bibs]

Like the post says Gunter, contact your local dealer for the price list. 

[Günter]

the '2012 sale out'prices ..or the catalog prices ?

 

..the catalog prices are clear, see deRoure listings

[andecorp]

Like the post says Gunter, contact your local dealer for the price list. 

The problem is that the thieving dealers here in Australia will multiply the price many times over in their quotes.

 

In 2010 I bought $12,000 (7,000 pounds)  worth of parts from Lotus UK. VIC Lotus dealer (Zagame) quoted me $53,000 (35,000 pounds) for the exact same parts!

Once, WA Lotus dealer quoted me $1,040 (600 pounds) for the front pads on the S4s.

 

So contacting the local dealer is certainly not an option.

[Bibs]

Email/call a dealer in the UK, they'll happily sell and ship you the parts.

So we don't need to use the local dealer? That's good to know, thanks.

[Bibs]

You can use any dealer you like. The original post says local or preferred dealer, they rarely care where you live!

 

Also, just to clarify, I'm afraid that I'm not permitted to help anyone get parts this year. Lotus's rules, not mine. You have to go to your local/preferred dealer.

[Günter]

and as dealer (or more exactly one 'near' to Berlin ) told me -he isn't in the aftersales anymore ...so we will see how it turns out this year with the ASO-parts sale turnaround on money for the Lotus company.

 

It all sounds a little like a sinking ship ..does it ?

[Bibs]

This is the 3rd part sale they've done Gunter, why would you say that? They'll make less money on this entire sale than they do in a weeks worth of normal parts sales!

[Günter]

As I have used two of the sales and missed some earlier and  one inbetweenn over the years ..so there was more than 3 -right!?

 

..and yes, it is less money -as the actual stock price is often way over what it is worth if you compare the origin  (even Lotus does not all for its own I say)

 

..but I would still support Lotus and help to sale out small things, who are also already available somewhere else in the www -as long as the Lotus-price is competitive .. less money is still more than  'no money'  !  see what I mean.

 

Don't get me wrong ..I really like the ASO-parts sale outs ..as you know  -what me wounders is that there is no usefull list of 'xx pieces in stock' .. and 'reduced price' attached this time

I recommend Bell & Colvill, They have always been easy to deal with and are good at shipping to the USA in previous sales.

Thanks Tim, that should save my dealer a bit of time tomorrow. Some of the prices have shot up a bit, Elite trim that was a fiver last time now £50!

[Günter]

Tim ..out of curiosity  -what you have posted is the actual 'stock prices' ..from the dealer catalog [without vAT of course]

 

..where are the 'sale out' discount prices  ..or are the online portals from the dealers allready updated commonly !?

[Bazza 907]

I think that those prices are the sale price not the actual stock prices.

 

A quick glance suggests c50% discount off stock prices 

[TAR]

Gunter, that is the SALE stock price list... I have no idea whether dealers have updated their online stock lists, as I don't use them.
