Hi Guys,
Sorry to bring some negativity to the party but if anyone who has ordered or who works for Honda can shed any light on this I would be grateful.
I place my order on 01/08/2014 and originally got a delivery date of the end of August. I phoned my local branch up around that time, and got told 1st week of September, no problem. Checked the first week of September as I was trying to sell my car privately and got told 7th September + or - 2 days.
This is where the fun starts, I sell my FN2 on the 5th and give them a call later that day and get told the 14th from a member of staff that I had not spoken to before.... Annoyed yes but at least got what felt like an honest answer. Got a call from my salesperson Monday saying the delivery date is showing the 7th but my car had not arrived and the manufacturers don't know where my car currently is, and that i would get a call on Thursday with an update.
Thursday rolls around and no call, so today I ring up for an update, quite annoyed, and get told i'd get a call back after they have phoned Honda. I get a call back saying there has been a warranty recall on normal Honda hatchbacks which is delaying the delivery of Type-R's and they won't know till Monday when the system updates when the car will be delivered but the system still said the 7th.
Needless to say I'm getting a little fed up with the whole thing and am going into branch tomorrow.
Just wanted to know if anyone else had heard anything along those lines as I would think it would affect everybody.
Cheers,
Jamie
PS. Sorry for the rant
