Ouch!HAHAHAHAHA!! That's pretty good. That definitely tops my post. I'm amazed at people. Half of the NC dealers didn't know what a Type R was. One dealer thought I was asking about a Maxima.
Yikes. That's bad. And gives the good dealers a bad rap. But, with any business you definitely have a few people who are clueless and don't take the job serious enough to get informed about the entire product line. Ugh.HAHAHAHAHA!! That's pretty good. That definitely tops my post. I'm amazed at people. Half of the NC dealers didn't know what a Type R was. One dealer thought I was asking about a Maxima.
My spreadsheet shows that I've contacted 72 dealers so far, hopefully get some good news this coming week.
72? Dang. If you get multiple leads definitely hit us up here. I basically stopped calling places because none of them had any info.
Yes, please post if you have any leads on an MSRP dealership.
So, your put a deposit down at the dealer in Hickory?
I got a feeling lots of people with deposits will get the shaft for dealer friends and family. Me: I had a deposit. Dealer: sorry we didnt get it in. How do we prove different ? And even if we can so what, they just give deposit back. They don't care.
After that tale of incompetence and dishonesty from the dealers I'm surprised you haven't lost interest in the CTR altogether. Doesn't sound too good at the moment with the last dealer not answering you, I can only hope that's a temporary thing and it all works out for you in the end. As you say, it shouldn't be that difficult...
OK. I misread the post. I'm #2 on the list for Hickory. They would only take $5000 down. They told me #1 is one of the finance managers friend. Usually you can't beat the salesman off with a stick. Now you show up with cash and beg for them to take it and they won't even talk to you. Very frustrating. I definitely won't loose interest in the R. That's how bad I want one. I'm staying very dedicated to this experience. This is not fun anymore...It's a quest lol
No problem. Yeah man, it is becoming a seriously un fun experience. But Yeah wanna just look they won't leave you alone. Come in with cash and they won't take it. I have had sales man walk away once I asked about the type r. Seriously B.S. 90% of these cars,are going to dealership owners ,sales managers and their friends, it is total crap.
Apart from the ones where the dealer has actually admitted they're keeping it for someone in-house, there have been others where people have reported cars mysteriously no longer available where it sure looked like that was the case, and as you say they know you can't really do anything about it. It's a shame that Honda don't seem to be in a position to do anything about it either (or just don't care?).
