My mate is a rural dealer and even they are getting a display/demo which they weren't expecting.
White is supposedly hella popular, may be contributing to the delay.
This is correct. The way the agency model was explained to me was the cars in the Dealership are owned by Honda and are for display purposes only (some are demos, again registered to Honda). If you buy a vehicle then it is shipped from the warehouse. Similar setup to white goods, you don't get...
Honda have begun allocating customer vehicles for those who were in nice and early.
ETAs as early as Feb arrival!
Might be worth a phone call to your Dealer :)
My mate that works at a Honda Dealership.
Honda sent a communication to help manage customer expectations.
He said this maybe a result of "unconfirmed" orders in the system that haven't recieved a deposit. Apparently there is a 48hr grace period for customers to come up with the deposit and...
Initial allocations have sold out for Aus. Honda are telling their dealers to expect 2024 allocations for any further orders.
It warms my heart a little that there is still such demand for this segment of car. Congrats to those that have placed an order! It sounds like a cracker!
I have no doubt initial demand will be high, FOMO in this country is off the charts! 😆
I honestly think Agency may have contributed to our numbers. Profit stays with Honda and given the mark up is higher than the US (at RRP/MSRP) they would want to sell as many as they can. I would think 700 is...
Was just curious.
I've spoken to them for months, I know him personally. I've decided to wait for a test drive and if it's everything I hoped then i'll buy one, but not in any rush at the price.
I've been told 700+ in our first allocation, even if that means the first year it is a huge...
Has anyone received information from Honda?
Not the dealer, Honda Australia. I take it most people here would have signed up to the website experession of interest...?
We just have the manufacturer ripping us off 😆
If I had to choose one or the other, I'd prefer to pay a mark up to a local dealer than pay overs to a manufacturer that couldn't care less about my local community.
There is over 700 in the first allocation. I'll wait for a test drive before...
Interesting. What are your thoughts?
Its not as offensive as I thought, but jeez its hard to cop vs NZ pricing. Is NZ agency also?
Also, where did you see the Alcantara Wheel is standard? Didnt see it in the standard equipment.
I might be misunderstanding what you've said but if you add a 20mm spacer to a +36 offset wheel you are effectivley making it a +16 offset. Your offset is the centre line of the wheel barrel relative to the mounting surface of the wheel.
Are you sure the exhaust and the ASC are tied together in the settings? I would have thought the exhaust would have to do with the engine modes and the sound control is just there to amplify interior noise if you want it.
Can you turn the ASC off or put it in comfort and have someone rev the car...
I wouldn't be surprised either tbh. The used car market has never dictated new car prices previously so it should be irrelevent.
The reason prices are the way they are is due to availability of New cars. Look at the ute market, New is often the same price or even cheaper in some cases but you...
