Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Midnight-VTEC]

so with those 17 coming, I would assume 15 people should have a VIN this week?
So how many people in Canada have one so far I think this makes 2 so far I have heard about today. So 13 more to go lol for this batch?

Correct, the people selected via first batch allocations will have had their name and CC entered into Honda Canada Portal last Friday. They should have VIN assigned as these cars are already made and in the USA.

EXPECTED delivery is 2 weeks out.

hmm not feeling good about this. I tell ya I am getting closer and closer to moving on and going different direction. I have owned a lot of vehicles and although not all new I have gone through the purchase of new car release a few times but I have never experienced anything like this. Buying my FK8 was a breeze, the hardest part was having to drive 3 hours to get it.

Everyone I spoke with since mid last week hasn’t mentioned any of that other than they are doing First come first serve down their list. Other than that, I don’t know. Im more surprised at the fact that I’m not surprised at what that QC dealer did LOL. Did they just do a draw or lottery for their own deposits?

I've never experienced such a fucked up purchasing experience ever. House, car, other assets have not been this difficult.

I'm kinda over this JDM journey. Thus BS doesn't exist in the EDM world.

The GSM picks who goes into ordering rhey give 2 fucks what the line is. For all I know they threw darts onto post it notes on a dart board.

The GSM in this situation had a pile of folders ready for the R. Decided... let's just bypass the line for said purchaser, gave him a gsruntee and deal done. Over in 10 minutes of chatting with said buyer.

I feel that, well I am eyeballing a Triumph MC that still hasn't sold so maybe I pull the trigger on that instead. MC's ruined cars for me but it is nice to have utility. Well see what the rest of the week holds.

I can't criticize them, the GSM offered the spot up on a silver plate. They didn't even have to fight for it OR ADD PACKAGES TO SECURE THE DEAL. The person wasn't even connected to the GSM in any manner either rofl. They purchaser was just as shocked being offered the spot.....

So why did the dealer choose that buyer over the others ahead in the line? Larger deposit?

From my conversation with them. They did NOTHING special, just had a 1 on 1 chat with the deciding manager. No additional deviations from the routine ordering process. He stated he showed product knowledge, showed he was an enthusiast and was buying a dream car etc etc.

This shit is amazing lol

That is stupid. Now everyone ahead of that person will know what happened, with a bit of research.

I wouldn't be mad if the dealership suddenly decided to self combust in flames from a "gas leak".

I can't blame the said buyer, they literally just picked up the phone but man would I be pissed if I was 1st in line there.

Yup, all power to the buyer for chasing what he wanted.

I got my reply from my dealer, they are informing their client base of 30 ORDERS about the pricing and PRICING PROGRAM (wtf is a pricing program). Collecting the details and then assessing. They have orders going as far back as 2021 they claim.

Aka, GSM will assess deal by deal. Not sure how place in line is weighted in this process over deal profitability. I have a feeling pricing program will be offered to clients in a line basis, first person agree to terms will get it.

Pretty sure I'm fucked. GL everyone else. I think I'm done here, wishing you all the best of luck. Hopefully won't see some of u guys on the M2 forums lol.
