Hey - do any of you know what the timelines are like for dealers sitting on cars? I know some have loans or insurance or some other expenses that affect how long they are able to sit on a car. Is there a timeframe you know of that would help people here?

For instance, is there usually a weekly or monthly or quarterly deadline for a specific car? We all know about quarterly and monthly sales goals... but i'm not talking about goals... i'm talking about how going past a certain number of days or weeks or months may cause a financial penalty for the dealer.

Does anyone know how those work, and if the clock starts ticking the day the car arrives or when people should focus trying back at the dealers where cars have been sitting? thanks!

okay... no one answered me, but i just found one answer... the current timeframe for when the dealer begins to get antsy about the cost of the car sitting on the lot right now is 60 days. I guess it depends on the marketplace and their expected profit that would offset their expenses of sitting on the car. So for now, the 60 days is most typical... after which they would be more eager to sell.

Well... not sure any CTR will sit for that long (except a few crazies like Brilliance Honda here in IL)... so, this info prob isn't going to do us any good. But, if you know of a car that has managed to sit for nearly 60 days, then you can try a bit harder to get them to budge.

What's interesting is the wheel center caps do not appear to have the red Honda H emblem. Not sure if that's really the case or bad lighting/angle on the photo.

Yes! And, the one on the 2nd floor doesn't seem to either. I magnified it but the lighting isn't ideal there either.

Took delivery on April 7th. Was kind of spur of the moment kind of thing. Originally wanted a Championship White car but missed out on 2 of them due to dealer shady business. Found this Boost Blue an hour and a half from me, went to look at it and was stunned by the color in person. Brought it home that day lol I love this thing, what a car!!
