What's the news?
Anyone who fancies an Elise, Exige or Evora ought to head down to their nearest Lotus dealer as soon as possible, as the Norfolk sports car brand is offering a three-year Service Inclusive package as standard for a limited time only on new vehicles.
The deal is running from now until the end of September and sees the package available in all UK and European mainland showrooms. It covers all of the car's servicing requirements for the period but it is not unlimited mileage - it's 27,000 miles or three years, whichever is sooner.
The package can transfer from owner to owner during the timescale but not from car to car. It covers the cost of parts, labour and items such as engine oil, brake fluid and air and pollen filters, but does not cover replacement through excessive wear and tear or misuse - so no track days, folks.
All of the above is on top of the standard three-year manufacturer's warranty that Lotus already provides.
Anything else?
Jean-Marc Gales, CEO for Group Lotus plc, said: "This is great news for all would-be sports car owners. It underlines Lotus' ongoing commitment to quality and reliability, something from which all Lotus customers can take confidence. It's also a positive affirmation that the Lotus experience is really about pure driving enjoyment."
