Ocean Honda of Burlingame gave me a vin with my deposit, was getting updates that the car was in Honolulu waiting for transport that was BS
ETA was before thanksgiving

Learned today car was never built no idea if they will actually receive that VIN and MSRP + 10k was only tied to that VIN they will not honor it for another VIN

not sure if it was just to get out of my 10k mark up deal or what but got my deposit back

They texted you a picture showing you the car is in Honolulu?

Also - is it common that a dealership would be allocated two cars within two months when there are hundreds of others still waiting to get their first?

I understand it's all about past civic sales blah blah blah but seems a little fishy. WTF is your car doing in Honolulu? lol

Yes some dealerships have gotten 2 for this first batch of cars, it is extremely rare though less than 2% of all dealerships in the Mainland US have gotten more than 1. His car was never in Honolulu lol.

I ordered a white

Just put a reservation deposit down for MSRP. I expect to be waiting for two, maybe three years. But that’s okay. Good to deal with a dealership who is upfront and cares about its customers. I have no problem waiting as I’d much prefer giving my business to a dealership that isn’t short sighted.

Good luck to all who are after one of these.

on The bright youll have late model FL5

Some of these people that have a 11/07 will be getting their cars before Monday. It is entirely possible your car is with that batch

Could you tell me what color this one is JHMFL5G49PX000263 ? Thanks

Question.

If it a contract was built saying you will pay MSRP + Genuine Honda Accessories...

But...

To be able to purchase the car, a customer has to sign a special agreement (for the first two years) which forces her or him to offer the right of buy-back to the dealer for the original price or the fair market one. Should the owner decide to sell the vehicle to a third party and not offer the first buyback option to the dealer, then he must pay the dealer the profit resulted from the deal, together with legal fees.

Would you do that? Sort of like what Lexus did with the LFA?

I'd sign that in a second. Gonna keep the car forever basically, so makes no difference to me.

Get with another dealership, 10k over is easy to find.

This is the 2nd stealership screwing me over. I had a deposit for 5k adm + accessory before the MSRP announcement and they got the car yesterday and they send me this bullshit . Like wtf how are these dealerships still in business all you do is lie to your customers…. They refunded my $1,000 deposit.

So your telling me a deposit doesn’t even do anything only guarantee you to be in line but not guaranteed the agree upon price. ?

Go to Fremont Honda...the have a Boost Blue, and they will take 10k + 2k of accessories...
if you go in person, you might be able to have them delete the accessories...but agreeing with AspecR 10k over should be obtainable. good luck sir.

Did you sign a contract with what you guys agreed on? If you did and they’re pulling this, I think you got a good legal battle here.

What's all this shit?! Can dealer do this kinda shit? is it legal? This is F-ed up, along with Burlingame Honda

The dealership probably is figuring if you can afford the legal battle, you can afford the markup. Even if you win, the price will fall to the original deal and more than the difference will go into your lawyers pockets. Dealership is already paying their lawyers so they don't care.

It’s fucked up but they can do, only a signed buyers order or draft. If it’s written on a random dealership sheet they can wiggle their way out of it. Legally binding is the only thing that locks a price in.
