MY 12 jazz now coming from Japan as of late jan

[Celsious]

Cancelled my contract with Highway Auto Honda. Car arrived 1 week ago, however due to a change in staff with the finance department, they told me that before I was able to take the car my finance would have to be re approved and it would take up to 3-4 weeks. Since my rego was due this Tuesday and I had planned not to pay it due to the fact that I thought I'd be receiving the Vibe prior to it. Clearly not.

Was the final straw for me. Got my deposit back, went over to Austral Honda got a 2010 Jazz for half the price. Looking to pick it up by the end of this week.

When did you order yours? When did they originally tell you it would arrive? March or April shipment?

I ordered the car in mid January 2012 and was told the car should arrive in Feb, Then i was told March ... then April or even May.

Im not sure what shipment it was supposed to be on, but a deposit was taken mid Jan.

Bet you're glad you went somewhere else like Austral. Highway Honda are hopeless and don't budge on price....

I ordered my Vibe-S on 27th January and I was told at that time that it would be here in the second week in March as all of the February cars had already been allocated. It's now finally arrived at the dealer so I should be able to collect it this weekend.

it is a shame that I have to send an email to my car loan company telling them I cannot use my pre-approved loan because the car I had ordered is not available... yet.
