Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Toprarnen]

This is the US, not Canada.

Was responding to ctrc2022's post, which was indicative of US site

They probably just copied the US press release without proof reading it lol

Unfortunately, that's not how actual life works in reality lol.

If you want the discuss honor, or ethics, the dealerships control who gets what and when. The power was never in the buyers hand. Any grievances you have is with them, not the individuals who are trying to maximize their chances of obtaining what they want.

If I can control the outcome of a specific situation, why wouldn't I try lol. Instead of being a passenger and hoping things work out.

I mean no point arguing I guess. You're one of those people, if you had a dealership you'd sell over MSRP, and I'd sell at MSRP. It's just who we are.

That's incorrect, I would sell to whoever I felt should get the vehicle based on merit and use case. I would look to sell at Msrp to local, enthusiast and dealership loyalty and MAYBE I'll factor place in line as the tie breaker.

Just because I am willing to pay more to control my options, doesn't mean if I was in a position of power I would take advantage of the situation. You are equating my actions in a position of weakness with my potential actions in a position of power, again that's now how life or people work. It's not black or white like that my guy.

I'm not sure why you are mad at me for offering additional funds to get what I want lol. You can do the same, the DEALER decides not u, me or the flying head in the sky.

By enticing the dealer to skip over someone else who is ahead of you with more money and then lay the blame on the dealer if they choose to be honourable or shady is a weak argument.
Whether or not they choose to be greedy you can’t play innocent in this you willingly enticed them to make a choice and take action.
It’s like saying “I offered him $5000 to jump out that 10 storey window, not my fault he chose to be dumb and greedy” yes that is an extreme example but the fact remains the instigator is part of the equation.

Just to be clear I am not faulting you for doing this with the dealer, but pretending like you are on the high road and the dealer is all to blame is bs dude.
You did it you didn’t whatever, maybe don’t post your plans on line lol.

I never said what I am doing is "honorable" did I, if I did I have mispoken, if you assumed I did you misunderstood.

I said I was controlling the variables so that I get what I want. Im playing the game that's already rigged from the start to get the outcome I desire. None, of this has anything to do with honor or ethics. if it did everyone would have an equal chance to secure the same outcome. But that clearly isn't the case is it? If this is the case please point me to a dealership that will weigh my intake equally to someone else's. The fact that dealerships are using the excuse of "we had people lining up for FK&'s that are grandfathered into the FL5 lineup, which overrides your previous #1 spot" speaks to my point.

If you want your desired outcome, play the game or leave it to chance, up to you. Or maybe go buy an Elentra?

Haha, I have no issues with being transparent, since I joined here I have stated I was willing to go +10K over MSRP to secure this vehicle, my narrative has not changed at all.

I dont think many are going to side with you. Everyone should be given the fair chance to buy at MSRP end of story or it becomes a circus like the US which is terrible. Its going to be a waiting game for many, if you cant wait find something else or buy used.

I'm not sure you understand, I don't care if anyone sides with me or not lol. I'm just here to detail what I am doing to get the car lol.

My goal here isn't to make friends, I'm just using the forum as it was intended, sharing information of this specific platform. Everyone is entitled to do what they want and how they want to, IMO.

Morale and ethical philosophy isn't something I really am looking to engage in here, but I will explain my view points where questioned haha.

Let's just change topic again ;p on my end no news, lets hope we find out more next week. Maybe dealerships still waiting for the Canada price to be confirmed, who knows

Seems like noone else heard much either.

Back on topic, I did hear back from 1 of 3 dealers. Based on the units they have been told they are receiving vs. what they thought they would get (2 annually vs. 7 annually) they have decided to review each allocation on a case by case scenario, they are scraping their line up process.

 

[Bambzolbment]

Have all your dealership confirmed how many they are getting altogether? Mine says they still don't know. Even for first year they don't know.

what does that mean? they look at you and if they deem you enthusiast enough you'll get it?
