kinnsella Report post Posted January 25, 2013 Starting to see the Fisker on the road now. I really love the style. In its own way the silence is stealth! It's a total shit box..I see the Tesla Model S almost daily, Karma's once a month don't know if either company will make it. But the Karma is not a competitive car in the segment.

But the Karma is not a competitive car in the segment. Hate to hear that. It has some cool features but lets face it...Its an electric car. Not ever gonna make it in the exotic world. If it was trouble free it would be another fun toy to put in the stable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abolfaz Report post Posted April 17, 2013 Well, that escalated quickly. I came real close to buying one of these for my wifes birthday two weeks ago, something told me not to and I got her a new Maserati instead. Thank god I didn't buy one of these cars and have to deal with trying to get service and warranty work done by a bankrupt company.

gLA Report post Posted April 17, 2013 I'm not surprised. Horrible build and crap customer service. I thought something was up also when the local dealer had a VW golf sitting in the window.

Their goose is cooked...Fisker resigned, the Chinese (last resort of desperate car companies) won't bite. Never was a competitive product. On the other hand I see several Tesla's every day, I have three friends that own Teslas, they all like them. Personally I think it's early adopter tech buyer, they may make it....or Tesla can be rolled into Mercedes or Toyota who they have deals with.

Chipster Report post Posted April 17, 2013 I like the looks of the Karma over the Tesla but yeah I am even seeing the Teslas around here and this is not a big area for rare cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnythebull Report post Posted April 17, 2013 If they get really cheap it would be great to buy one and throw a crate motor in it. Easy to do. Bob lutz did one with a zr1 motor http://www.gizmag.com/destino-fisker-karma-zr1/25875/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

didimao0072000 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 i spoke to a guy in houston that wanted to sell his in the mid 60s. i would consider buying one if it's price for the body shell and interior only. there's a high chance that the battery may go bad and if that happens with zero warranty or dealer support, your car is essentially a brick.

medici78 Report post Posted May 6, 2013 Considering how light they had to make the car to accomodate the batteries it would be a beast with the ZR1 powertrain. I wonder if this means it's also curtains for the Destino. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Report post Posted May 10, 2013 What a shame, I really thought this was a fantastic car. Did you know the design for the look of the car was originally what Tesla was going use? The designer (May have been Fisker himself) pulled a Benedict Arnold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assman Report post Posted October 21, 2013 Now buy your less attractive Karma (imo) for twice the price and a corvette engine. Read all about it. http://www.caradvice.com.au/256278/vl-auto...as-coming-2014/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read all about it. http://www.caradvice.com.au/256278/vl-auto...as-coming-2014/ They'll convert cars for $100K. Makes more sense to buy a fire-sale Karma vs the VL. Either way, it will be nice to have the good looks of the Karma and big balls to back it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
