East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

[AspecR]

Do you know the ETA for North Carolina, specifically Hendrick of Hickory?

Also thanks for your help.

Any good news for Keating Honda in Texas?

Nothing on my end for either of those dealerships, gotta call them

If the car is marked as sold then I can't track it. they have it just means any tracking you need done has to be done through them

Very nice! Was your car initially on Aspec’s list a few weeks ago? Or is this a new allocation?

I believe so. It’s one of the first few 500 or so in the US. I put down my deposit exactly last month haha.

cars are leaving the port in phases...

i just got off the phone with the honda rep (he cleared me to talk about it since everything was figured out)

multiple delays halted the cars from leaving union strike at the port was the main one and also the hurricane/tropical storm on the east coast did as well

the ctr's are not going by train, only truck and they are super behind now at the port since there was a strike going on for a couple weeks, cars are stockpiled even to the point where some ships were turned away and told to go to a different port because of the lack of staff to check in cars/shipments and no room

he told me that people are worried about any imperfections on the vehicle and since they have been sitting at the port so long that any issues will be taken care of by honda directly no questions asked

the main thing was he told me to be patient and all the cars at the port should be with all their owners before christmas

he apologized multiple times about the delays and he said honda higher up's have been non-stop about getting these cars to the east coast

savagegeese was correct

Thanks for the feedback brother.

I'm still waiting on hearing an ETA from my dealer, it's been just 'pending' this entire time. I'm hoping either ETAs start populating or it just pops up at their dealer. I'm straining not to message my dealer anymore LOL.

Well here's to hoping cars in perfect condition with no transport blocks on them...lol

I work at the Marysville Auto Plant as a quality engineer, so I will be checking over my car with a fine tooth comb lol.

Glad this has all been figured out as I had just got out all of my stockpiled pitchforks and tiki torches and was about to roll out..

Thanks for the information. Are you saying the cars are going to have imperfections and issues from sitting so long? I worried about that too. And how would Honda even address that. Wouldn’t it be the same song and dance of “oh brand new vehicle, going to take time for people to learn this car, or even lack of parts” so how is Honda going to address this.

I’m sure we’re talking paint imperfections. My question would be, is every dealer going to accept, “guy on this forum talked to a Honda rep and he said you guys would take care of this?”

Dude, you’re the man.

Ya after I replied I started thinking of paint issues too. This is a giant cluster fk.

Maybe paint/exterior issues if any. Some weather conditions could contribute to other issues that might not seem immediately obvious.

My advice: When you get your car, inspect as much of it as possible. Check the exterior for any possible paint defects. Check for parts being flush and good looking. Anything you find, flag your dealer. They will fix it, you just dont want to find something after leaving the dealer that would be out of reason for them to want to fix it. Spend as much time as possible inspecting the car you are going to drop big money on. That should be the case with any car.

Thanks for the info @tuhroo ! While I think (and expect) things can still happen, this is a big relief hearing this information.
