New Jazz Pick up and Initial Running.

[Liger]

You do have a fair point there. Just annoyed is all, over a month over the promised delivery time. I won't break the deal or anything, just that I don't know any other business where you can promise a delivery time to a customer and blow it so much. Hopefully they've got a solution for me tomorrow.

they're sales people. spin, lies, etc. you're only as good as your contract, and i think verbal means jack if the written says otherwise. hope they do get a better solution, but then again, they could be fibbing about that. as said before, it's best just to wait and cool off. you'll get over the heat and you now you have learnt something from it.

if you still hate them, get your warranties done elsewhere.

No reply from the sales people yet, said they would call me today with an answer but no call Shall call them tomorrow and see whats what, but i have cooled down. More disappointed than anything else.

[ss-rotel]

pick a different colour?

[Liger]

I did, black. So maybe something in oct.

try upgrade to vtis?

[Liger]

Every jazz I see taunts me! "you dont have your jazz yet. you dont have your jazz yet. you dont have your jazz yet."

Nah don't see the rational for the added 2k. Bigger wheels, spoiler, black trim and flappy paddle gear box? No point i reckon but next time they call I'll ask the price difference and if it makes a difference. Might do if they bring the price to 1k.

[GU357]

it has a better resale value.

it looks that bit better and IT HAS FLAPPY PADDLES!

imo that makes all the difference xD

Vtis ftw

[Liger]

Mmm I want that red steering wheel insert thing and the red leather gear shifter. Any ideas on how much that is going to cost me? Yes i've been bored and was looking at the manufacturers accessories.

Hey Liger, did you got your Jazz yet ?
I'm in the same position here... bought the VTI end of July and promise 10 weeks... now they said beginning of Oct

[Liger]

Nope, still no Jazz. It is quite amazing that it has taken this long. Called the sales fella up 2 days ago and he said the Jazz in on the boat from Thailand at the moment and once it gets to the Australian Honda distribution center (either in Brisbane or WA), then he will be able to give me a date in October, either mid or end of October. Hopefully you get yours in the Beginning but if my experience so far with Honda is right I would not count on it. I mean, how can they keep their dealers so in the dark about the arrival time of cars and what is on their shipping manifests??? The way i see it, the Thailand side puts a specific amount of cars on the ship according to the demand at the destination of the ship. That means they must know how many VTIs are required to be put on the shipment therefore a simple email over to Honda Australian about the contents of the ship and then honda can allocate these orders according to the demand schedule (first come first served) then tell the dealers ok this is when you will receive your shipment of Jazzes. I just don't believe that they are not able to estimate their supply chain timing and give me this crap that Honda has not told them so they wont know but at the same time give the customer the 10 week promise which after they dont hold up, they dont give me anything in return and furthermore i'm not even getting the color i wanted. If i wanted red i'd have to wait longer so now i got black. Apparently they are giving me the metallic paint $100 off, 495 to 395 but looked at their website and thats the new price of the metallic paint option on the jazz. So far i'm not impressed at all. They must know it takes X amount of time for the ship to come from Thailand to Australia then X amount of time to process the new arrivals through customs. Then X amount of time for the cars to be distributed to the dealers and if they cant do that at least do something to make it up to the customer, going to write a hell of a letter to honda Australia after i get my jazz. Grrrrr.... Ok rant over. Ive been annoyed for the past few months. Hope you don't have to wait much longer catfish.
