I heard there's a waiting list of 130+ ppl now! popular!
Does this mean for $1700... I can add a sunroof to my Civic? If anyone gets it done, pls tell us how good it looks, whether it fits in and so on... I'm seriously considering this.Quote:

pretty good price yeh, lots of people are still not getting any discount so given you paid about 500 less than me (equiv.) it's not the worst you could do :)Quote:

Not a bad price. Since they give free tinting, Where did u ordered it? how long your frend have to wait? Did the dealer tell you the estimated date?Quote:

Got my last week.... Vti... was delayed for 3 weeks, I ordered it in 1st week of march... wat I heard from the dealer was anyone who ordered it in May will have to wait till Aug. Its selling like hot cakes...
I'm thinking of canceling my order and go for those dealer who actually got the car in stock.
anyone got any idea how to cancel? Is there any chance that I can get back my deposit? Since the dealer has lied to me about the delivery date when i ordered it.
There's a clause in the contract somewhere about you being able to cancel it if the car hasn't been delivered in 3 months. Otherwise, it's all at the dealer's discretion. It's basically your word against his but your name on the dotted line.
Let me know how you go because I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Except I'd go from a Civic that's not in stock to the Honda Euro Luxury. Anyone in Perth know of a dealer that would let you swap cars without penalty?
i'm not sure about the 3 month thing (haven't looked for it) but the one thing that my dealer pointed out to me was a paragraph saying that if i cancel the order, i have to pay 5% of the total purchase price minus any deposit i may have already paid - so for me that would have been $1825 - a very high price to pay just to get the car possibly sooner at another place.
i'm not sure if the contract i got from my dealer was dealer-specific, but it was a paragraph in red text (as opposed to black text) to make it stand out - you might want to look for it.
I think you might be able to swap car if you get it from the same dealer. My dealer allow me to swap car, but I don't have enough money to change to euro. So i guess I will just stick to my order. 5% is too much, not worth it, since I already waited nearly 2 months for my car.Quote:

The standard MTA contract allows you to rescind your contract if the car is delayed more than 30 days beyond the estimated delivery date. Which means if you chose to do this they must give you your deposit back immediately. Under this contract, you can also cancel the contract at any time, in which case the dealer gets to keep any deposit.
But beware, some dealers try scam customers by getting them to sign non-industry-standard contracts that exclude all the clauses that are in the standard contract to protect the buyer (Eg estimate delivery dates, ability to rescind contracts, etc) and even add in other clauses like penalties and additional fees for buyers under some circumstances.
So the moral of the story is before you go to rescind your contract read the fine print (or get a lawyer mate to do this for you) and remember small font is no less important than big red font and vice versa. And if you haven’t signed a contract yet, don’t be bullied into signing the dealer’s “standard” contract, insist on the industry body’s standard contract (eg the MTA contract) which includes all the standard buyers’ protections.
Btw, can I add the parking sensor after my car arrive? I don't wanna call them now as I'm afraid that might delay my order even longer. Anyone got any idea?
