It’s tough believing dealers when sh!t like this happens. Everyone on the list backed out. Everyone. To top it off, people who were looking for MSRP only deals, no takers.
The dealership could very well be telling a tale; however, it's not improbable that several people on a waiting list backed out. The cynic in me says that everyone is interested until it's time to pay. But the reality is there are countless reasons individuals pass - not their color of choice, can't get approved for a loan, already secured an FL5, moved on to another car after being scarred by the experience, life events, interest rates and increases to MSRP priced them out, etc.

Agree with @Clark_Kent as Roush Honda here in Ohio has been selling at MSRP since the launch and has consistently burned through around 8 people on their list for each allocation--I asked the manager why that was the case, and he said this car draws all kinds. They've had excited young potential buyers eager to take the car, but unable to get financing/co-signer. They don't organize the list by color preference, so they've had able buyers uninterested in the particular color on hand when their name is reached. They also acknowledge that it's taken a long time from reservation to arrival, and sometimes people have opted for other cars instead.

There are also the cars that are "MSRP" until you get to the table and find they require in-house financing, accessories, add-ons... some dealerships LOVE a last-minute surprise once the consumer feels it's too late to back out.

For sure man! He said he was shocked and I believe him. I can't think of any reason for him to have given bad info when I got in line. I was either 6th or 7th on the list so not a ton of people passed, but still. At MSRP?

Like others here I'm guessing there were some flakes in that list but passing due to color is legit, I've been there.

I guess I’m just a cynic and not that I neglected all the fair and valid points, I just think there are too many big talkers. Alright I’ll be nice and keep to myself on the countless MSRP only posts. ?

I was 7th on the list and there was one allocation (to my knowledge) before it was my turn. All your points sound valid and would explain how I got bumped up so quickly.

I was 18th on the list (28th from the beginning sometime in early 2023), got a call from my very helpful SA last week telling me that they changed the rule to prioritize locals and now I'm first on the list, and my CW FL5 is due arrival at the dealership any time soon.

Great for you, not so great for others who are getting the rug pulled from under them. I'm assuming this is one of the MSRP Carolinas dealers.

It is, not sure about Honda but other brands are now punishing dealers for selling out of state/service area so not sure if that's the drive behind the decision or not.

Texas is still holding strong on $5-8k over MSRP. I picked up my BB, and there's two waiting in Austin (CB and SG) and two incoming (CW and SG). CB for some reason is priced $500 less than the others :)

Not sure if it's available but dropping my other MSRP Leads here! Adam is easy to work with. This was posted on Facebook last I spoke to him yesterday still available. There is LoJack added on for 299 but maybe you can work something out about it.

My guy just texted me.
3 In stock
2 champ white
1 boost blue

$1500 markup. ( I don’t wanna hear it) if you’re a local this is a one of the best deals we’ve seen.

Honda on Grand

300 W Grand Ave
Elmhurst, IL 60126
United States

Call and ask for Dan Greenwald or if you’re serious message me and I’ll give direct cell

I don’t wanna hear your tired crap about markup. They are looking to move these. It’s Chicago. Closest you’ll get to MSRP around here. I’m convinced if you show up they might work further.
