Yeah I thought the same thing. But who know how these things are being worked out now. Especially see was @RoidRage is dealing with.
What pisses me off even more is midland Honda had someone BACKOUT of their first allocation. They didn't fucking call me and they posted it on AUTOTRADER!!! AND SOLD IT TO SOME SMUCK who didn't like up or anything.

Hey think of it this way, the new Z boys had their car launch in Feb and none have been delivered in Canada yet (that I know of). At least Honda had some cars ready at the port to ship out as soon as they announced they were going on sale.
So moral of the story is JDM car buying is shit, got it.

Very true, seems some dealers are a little sketchier then others.

TBH I'm quite glad I'm not getting a car right now. I just parked my GR86 under the cover in the garage until spring and I would have had to do the same for the Type R. I'm hopeful for next summer if i'm lucky though to have mine arrive then.

Friend of mine ordered a golf R about a month ago and was told a year and a half. I think moral of the story is, "post" COVID car buying is shit!
Ordering a car and getting a time frame is different from getting fucked by not knowing anything even when the car IS AT THE DEALERSHIP.

I see cars are getting back to normal, dealers are having more stock sitting around.

My sales guy told me they had stopped taking orders. When I asked whether they knew how many units they were getting and where do I sit, he said he didnā€™t know. But Iā€™m on their list. šŸ˜–

Funny enough, this is kinda like how I got my FK8. Someone backed out and I happened to call the dealer at the right time.

2nd update for the day, "Car on the lot has been marked as sold, we just don't know to who. We should find out soon"...

Wtf does that even mean? Does anyone speak retarded dealership speak? How do you sell a car and not know who it is sold to. Am I just being emotional here or this is seriously fucked up?
