Another Price Hike?
Agree. I never take finance unless it's a 0%. Both my Volvos were on these deals. 50% down. Rest over 2 years.
Eventually received March 2023.

Mmm. But that also illustrates a point - I certainly never came across a 0% offer on a car I actually wanted to buy or, alternatively, if it was something I wanted to buy, that didn't also suffer savage depreciation.
Best I ever managed was 1.9% on my last car (BMW 440i Gran Coupe), along with a 20% discount, which meant that when I sold it after 6 yrs and 50k miles, I got back 50% of what I paid for it (including interest), which seemed decent. But those sorts of offers are long gone. At least for the time being.

Pre-Emira I'd guess, in which case they weren't making anything I wanted to buy...

I'm not being in any way rude about the Lotus range - there's a difference between "want" and "want to buy"...

Think they expected to struggle selling it. And yet quite the opposite happened.
