What's really interesting is 900 series VINs are at the dealer and 800 series VINs are in transit.

Assuming Southern states are supplied from San Diego, San Diego to Atlanta = 2139 miles. Assuming Northern states are shipped from Richmond, Richmond to Boston= 3087 miles.

I might be completely wrong and I have not considered factors like rail and truck lines, but pure distance could be a reason for Northeast delays.

My car was in Illinois on Monday, so Illinois to Boston is not that far. Other 800 series VINs should be in the same group.

Still hoping for 2/21 - 2/24...

Yeah mine's 800 series as well. Dealer told me the shipping company's name is Virginia Transportation Company in case someone wants to spam call them lol.

Does anyone know how easy this shipping wax crap comes off? Also, the best method to do it? (Told them not to wash or remove anything)

 

[tuhroo]

Just wet it and it’ll come right off

Quite a few ppl on here paid MSRP, they just don’t advertise how much they paid or don’t post at all.

The difficulty is that the MSRP dealerships have lists longer than the amount of cars they’re gonna get.

MSRP was possible if you got on a few lists early enough. Rightfully so, ppl who've been waiting for almost a year get to pay MSRP, ppl who are impatient and are trying to get one now will have to pay ADM.

I had to peel mine off. Just kind of started at a corner and rolled it off with my fingers. It definitely wasn't water soluble.

I think the statements that "many" or "quite a few" got the car for MSRP are a little misleading. I've been following along for the last year and I think I know of 5 people total on here that said they got the car for MSRP and they were either a YouTube influencer or worked for Honda.

If you work for a dealership I would hope they would sell you the car without markup. Even if you didn't buy from your dealership you likely have connections with reps in the local network that the rest of us do not have.

If you traded in your old car you should disclose that because the dealerships play games to make it seem like you got it for a great deal. In actuality they probably just paid you under market for your trade in.

It's not as simple as calling "early enough". I called 12 dealers in my area so early that most of them didn't even have a list yet. Of course I asked them to start one for me, and they agreed. Then when the first batch of cars started rolling in, suddenly the list was irrelevant and everything had a $20k markup...

Should be this weekend for mine, I'd like to meet some of you guys on the drive back down.

Mine is likely going to be tied up in paint correction and ceramic coating all weekend so I might miss out on seein' ya!

 

[AspecR]

I’m off this weekend…just lmk

Allegedly mine arrives at the dealer tomorrow. If so, I'll pick it up on Sunday.

I actually made it work the opposite way. They wouldn't come down off the ADM but they gave me more for my trade-in than others were offering. Course I bought my trade-in, among other cars, from that dealer so I had some history there.
