Wow, thank you for doing this work! Like the other person, i already got my car, but it's such a great car that i am hoping others can get theirs.
Just for the record... not sure why any dealers would say they don't know if they are getting a car... mine has known how many they were allocated the whole time since mid-last year. This was the first time working with this sales rep and dealer, so i wasn't sure back then if what they were telling me was true... but it turns out they have been straight-forward about everything the whole time. Everything they said was indeed true, and everything worked out as they had indicated. (shocked)
It's possible some dealers knew they were getting a car but didn't know if they were going to be swapping it to another dealer maybe, or didn't want to commit to anything since the market is so crazy right now? But, given that mine knew all along their allocation... those of you who thought you weren't being told the truth are probably right.
And NOTE -- based on my experience, if you missed out on this current round... I recommend that you talk a low ADM dealer into putting you 1st on the list for the NEXT car REGARDLESS of whether they have yet been allocated another one or not! It appears that if they got 1, they are likely to get at least one more..
If they haven't yet started a list, see if you can talk them into putting you on a list... and check in to make sure everyone at the dealership knows you are 1st on it, and that they call you as soon as they are allocated another.

@dng Awesome work! This is great… I appreciate this tool. Quick question… there a BB FL5 at Berlin City Honda of Portland, ME. Per the pic The site says it’s new since 2/18 but there’s a month old comment listed with details in it and the car says it’s onsite.
To find new cars, should I be looking for other cars that are in transit and have a first seen date of the latest date without any comments?

Yes something is “first seen” if newly in transit or newly on site. I suggest using the “New since” menu which will show you cars newly in transit or newly onsite.@dng Awesome work!

Yeah… lots of love for CA recently (and a small sprinkling of east coast deliveries). Hope there is more coming for PNW and selfishly for the Northeast… markup pretty challenging right now with limited supply.
