Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Apex Carver]

thats hilarious because when i called Honda corporate previously about buying a car outside of my area they said it was entirely up to the dealers on how they want to handle where they sell the cars to and that corporate has no say.

I went to Vancouver Island (Victoria); i think its close enough. None of the information was trickled down to me; not even how many cars that they were getting over the 3 years. I've been left out in the dark until end of last month. Then I went to the first Honda to request my deposit back.

ahh sorry dude

hopefully the hype dies down and with the economy going the way it is, some people might back out in the future, you can find one in the near future.

going to call a couple of dealerships where they have my name on the waitlist and withdraw my name. though they don't have deposits, just name and DL, this is making me nervous

Well I just got gut punched by my Honda/dealer:

I requested my refund back from the dealer close by after I got the good news from this dealer.

"Honda Canada has brought to our attention that you have two orders placed for the 2023 Honda Civic Type R, one with us and another at a Lower Mainland store. Honda is monitoring these orders very closely and doesn't want a local client missing out on an order when a deposit might be blocking them.

We will be refunding your deposit and allowing one of our local clients to move forward and order a Type R. The deposit you placed at the other Lower Mainland store will be be honoured at this time.

At your convenience, please contact our Sales Manager, (after 11am today) to refund your deposit on your Mastercard."

This suxs.

Did both of your deposits go through the stripe system?

I assume this dealer probably did. This dealer put an order through Honda Canada. I got the email from this dealer that they did. After I got the good news, I called the other dealer to get my deposit back.

The other dealer, I haven't even heard back from them since April. Another member also has a deposit at this other dealer and I'm pretty sure he hasn't received any new updates yet too.

But in both cases (ie both dealers) your credit card was physically charged for a deposit?

Yes, I put deposits at both dealers. My assumption was that the dealer themselves would hold onto the deposit within their dealer, until they get allocation and can put in orders.

Got my allocation for 2025!
I'd been on an unofficial waiting list in Ottawa since September and once the price was released the dealer was in no hurry to officially sign documentation, and I was #4....so to be proactive, I started calling around. Two other local dealers said they were only getting three cars each, one of each model year. One dealer's cars were already spoken for. So yesterday signed a Vehicle Purchase Agreement with the other dealer and getting a 2025! Got the additional news today that they've now confirmed it will be Championship White!!! Very excited but a two year wait.

I have no idea lol.. Such a mess with this process in Canada. Like others have said, dealers are playing games with the waiting list and such..

Life goes on...

ya what a mess,
after the sighting at WW, i called them yesterday, asking if I can just come and see it if it hadn't been picked up already but they just deferred me to Jeff who of course never got back to me. so hard to just to see it in flesh. sigh

did the AB dealer get back to you ever? someone from the forum confirmed 62k also, from the same dealer. it's bad but at least there is some consistency
