I’m in Halifax, so if next batch lands in Halifax as well, I should get mine quick

If I purchase and ask to keep the car in dealership until mid march? Is that a bad idea, what you guys think?

i am told mine landed in Halifax was wondering if yours was on there and surprised it's still not delivered but i guess it makes sense that yours just went into production in Japan... mine found out that it went into production 3 days before it landed in Halifax and now says in transit (Honda courier transport)...i would double check in case yours was on that Halifax drop .. but yeah should be quick it is on the next one to Halifax...


i thought about that as well to ask them to keep it there took spring... my question was indirect and more like gaging how they feel about it...i sorry of got a few weeks to a month short of answer since my question was worded in the context of bad weather.... then i figured i don't want that risk of losing my allocation or deal i just wanna close it quick...i would just go get it register it and either store it on my own or transport it or drive it...i figured if i buy it and register it they wouldn't want the lability of storing it more than a few weeks... the more i thought about it the more i got the itch to just go get it and drive it home

that's exciting must be super stoked...i am guessing ours were on the same boat in halifax but yours going by train while mine might be on a truck so you're a few days ahead of me ... keep us posted when it actually arrives will give some of us an idea that we are up next

I should have went to look at the cars at Halifax port. Once I hear the next batch lands, I’ll try to go check it out.

and yes fair point about leaving the car at the dealership. I probably would feel better having it at home anyway. Maybe I’ll just get winter tires if it comes in Jan, winters can be pretty long.

Just got an email from my dealer that im working with in Nova Scotia. They said that my car has switched over to "In Transit" and that it's scheduled to arrive later this month. Im guessing its was on the same boat as your guys' car. I gotta get mine back to Alberta so looks like a transport for sure haha.

Nice, I’m in NS too. I still haven’t seen a CTR live

Contacted them, unfortunately they only sell it to local. I appreciate your postings as I’m still searching for a good deal in my province. Search never ends! ??

So had my 3 month drop-in-day at my dealer in Winnipeg. I cant get a reply from anyone there with emails.... They were promised 9 over 3 years but have only delivered one white one last Spring. They now have their doubts about 9. I'm the 4th on the original list (thought I was 3rd but they had already taken off the first sale so still 2 buyers ahead of me) so at one a year (so far) I might be out of luck. They have 13 deposit waitlist. I think I better start looking at something else as a backup; maybe a used recaro/brembo mx-5....

If you are not in need of a car yet, I’d suggest to wait until Spring/Summer. Also, check in here everyday as @onepointsix posts for sale post of FL5s. You might find your luck here. The last one he posted from Prince George is still available and no one is on the list (as per my conversation with them) unfortunately its only local.

As I’ve understood it, dealerships should know how many they’re getting. Earlier this year, we had some people get their deposits returned because the dealership filled their allocations. I know a few of them have moved on to the Type S since then and received their cars.

Something seems fishy with the dealer… Do you know if it’s considered a large dealership?

Good idea. The one I have here is an MSRP + $800 extras that they apparently put on all cars like block heater, mats, tire insurance.
