Leven car company - Park’s now have Lotus franchise

[scott_e]

Update from Lotus this morning on the new Scottish based dealership:

• Advise further by the end of June

• Hamilton area for a repairs dealership

• Ayr area for a sales dealership

Thoughts ?

Ayr.

That’s handy.

For a few

Will make the ABZ trek quite the adventure !!

Nice drive for me though

Craig for servicing then nice influx of business there hopefully, whole east coast and the north Has he moved Bankhead Medway by the way ? office addresses changed in March.

Is Craig ok for warranty repairs or is that a trip to Ayr ?

[campbell]

Warranty still main dealer, I believe. Who knows though ... so much in flux.

Ayr

Surely to be viable the main presence would have to be in the central belt.

I agree with that , but that is what they tell me verbatim.

"I can advise that we are looking in the Hamilton area for a repairs dealership in the Ayr area for a sales dealership."

For purchases and test driving I can deal with a 2 hour drive to Ayr, in fact I would go anywhere in the UK for the right car at the right price.

For warranty repairs Hamilton is just over an hour drive , but I do prefer the drive to Edinburgh.

Hamilton & Ayr is better than no Scottish presence.
I think it’s a mistake to separate the servicing from sales. I have twice bought cars when I wasn’t looking to change as a result of mooching about the showroom & chatting to sales staff when I had a car in for service.
Locations work for me as well as Edinburgh did but I think big city central belt would be better.

Guessing this will be the location then, Performance and Prestige showroom (Ayr)

Ayr FFS. Bloody stoopid location in my very humble opinion.
Hamilton ok for servicing but Ayr. Really. For crying out loud. I thought the only things that sold well in Ayr were mobility scooters for the locals.

Average speed cameras down the A77, boring. Ayr is OK for me in Glasgow but a bit out of the way for most. Somewhere central like Stirling probably best if only 1 dealer for whole of Scotland.

same place when I picked my car up last Friday .

I think it was only a registered office address change.

He ain’t for moving

Interesting news. Ayr is great for me.
