Will be cancelling my deposit, was quoted $43,888 drive away with mats chucked in and not negotiable what so ever. Salesmen at homebush was a bit pushy and felt like he was bull$h!tting to me wasn't really helpful when i asked him what i was getting in the car which he couldn't answer and kept telling me to refer to the internet which was the UK model.

Don't really care whether i am the first to get one because better deal > being the first one on the road. I'd probably be more cut if i found out someone got a better deal then me. So i'll wait it out abit for a few months or so when the hype dies down a bit.

The dealer showed me a stock enquiry sheet of some sort and i think he had 8 cars allocated to his yard and 5 people had already put a deposit down one which was me. Now if it was on high demand wouldn't all 8 slots be filled out? The dealer is either full of it or just isn't showing me a more recent version of the sheet.

What price are you expecting to get now? I can't see you getting $39,990 drive away anytime soon. And someone is always going to get a better deal than you - so let that go - whether they are the grandmother of the dealer or just slept with the boss.

The risk you run waiting a few months is the allocation will be all gone and no more will be brought in. That said if I was in your position I would wait as I find it hard to believe Honda will "sell out". Take a look at the MPS Mazdas - great cars but not exactly flying out the showroom despite the hype.

But anything is possible - the Golf GTI when released in 2005 sold very strong and there was a very long wait list for delivery. I think it was well over 9 months at one point unless one had pre ordered before the car was released in Australia.

I also think the two door vs four door issue is still a factor. A recent family member who was looking at the civic would have completly ruled out the type r as a four door car was one of the top priorities.

You won't get a lower price unless you know someone working high up the rank in the dealer because this car has limited numbers.

Did you inquire about the different options are available for the car?
If so, can you list any?
