Hi,
I'm close to buying a Karma. I'm thinking either Eclipse or Inferno with the Canyon Tritone interior if anyone has one and wants to give an opinion.
My questions are:
a) If you could buy one today, would you do it again? Ie if those that had pre-ordered, would you buy the car again?
b) Anyone get anything off sticker or is it pretty much MSRP and up @ this point?
c) Any suggestions/warnings/kudos that are different about this car versus traditional cars?
d) are they still producing cars or did that stop only affect the Nina production? Ie if I want to do a color/interior that isn't in stock or on any dealer lot can I have one still made?
e) how stable is fisker, it looks like the new CEO is saying Fisker is profitable next year, but I can't tell how the Nina/DOE loan affect Fisker.
f) how does the $7500 tax credit work in the USA? Can I get it on my 2011 taxes or do I have to wait until next year?
This is a daily driver, and I need reliability and not alot of headaches. I can deal with some of the quirks but if anyone is having problems using it as a daily driver I would like to know.
Thanks for your help. I'm pretty close but its scary because its a lot of money for me and I'm taking a risk on first version/new car company/new technology all at once.
I need a new car and I could go for MB/BMW/Lexus route but they are boring and I want something new and exciting to inspire me. [But I dont want a ton of headaches/I am busy have a life to live]
I also know the new firmware is coming out end of this month that is supposed to address a lot of the issues on the board.
Thanks!
