Civic Type R $39,990 + On Roads

[denot]

I can't believe it, my delivery for my milano red CTR has been delayed till August!

You should've make them put down the delivery dates on the contract and ask them if its delayed, they should provide you with complimentary car until it arives... (i think sum1 from our forum did that)

Newbie here. I've found this thread to be very informative - thanks everyone. Need to go and have a test drive sometime so I can see how it compares to the GTI and the MPS.

I'm going into the dealers assuming that there's not much bargaining to be had. Has anyone has had any luck getting a bit off the RRP or getting free stuff thrown in? Just don't want to be ripped off etc. so would appreciate any advice/info there.

The GTI was my first choice but looks a little boring next to the Type R, doesn't it?

The dealer must inform you in writing that the car has been delayed and give you the option to cancel your order. The chances of you getting a loan vehicle for 6 months are next to impossible. Volkswagen offered lease cars for $10 a day when GTI had 12 month lead times. That included insurance!!!! All you paid for was fuel. A great deal as it was cheaper than owning a car. We even had some people trying to order cars, drive the lease cars for 6 months and then cancel their orders. An increased deposit requirement saw the end of all that.

A motor vehicle contract is actually null and void if there is now estimated delivery date as the dealer then has grounds to say they are not delivering the car late. They have up to 30 days from the ETA to deliver the car before the customer has grounds to cancel. Contrary to what some customers also think, a car that is any less than 30 days late is not grounds to cancel or ask for anything extra in the deal.

A good dealer would have informed the customer well and truly before the delivery date that the car will be late anyway. But, I did say "a good dealer".

Have been driving my CTR all week no problems yet,

Do any of you know where i can pick up a K & N that will fit strait on?

Also will the air flow meter be effected?

i must admit i think i was one of the first in sydney to get one havent seen another one on the road yet

by the way no discounts at all on the car, the only thing the dealer threw in was free tints,

my sister works for the second largest leasing company, the only thing she could organise with the price was a cheaper dealer delivery thats it!

is anyone else feeling these weird throttle blips on up changes?
never read anything about it on the uk forums..

i noticed that when i drove one Sena, gave me the shits...

That's the electronic throttle's setting. It keeps revving it up to burn up the excess fuel already sprayed into the manifold.
