Default Buying 06 SI

Did anybody have to special order their SI??? I went to the dealership yesterday and of course they didnt have one on the lot....but said one would be here in about a month so i went ahead and did my papers and put down my deposit. Well the one that was alreayd coming is a red one with no navi and i want the black with navi so they said they'd look around at the other honda dealerships to trade for it.......how long do you think this would take and would it be hard to find? Because i really dont want to wait forever, but I dont want to settle for another color because i really want it in black.

Don't settle for anything but what you want if you can help it

I got lucky, I ordered mine and it's only taking a month and a half. I'm getting the first 07 off the line, late August early September. The wait is killing me.

i didnt even think about buying the 07...are the prices the same? mines only costing 22,000......the only thing their changing is that the 07's have traction control right?

I was going to the dealer to reserve mine and they had one on the lot. I originally told my Internet Manager I did not want this specific color. He told me that didn't have any on the lot that met what I wanted (the only honest dealer I talked to). When I saw the color in person, I changed my mind. It looks really sweet with the black interior and red sticking. So, I bought it. I was going to have to wait 2 weeks for the black Si. Dealers in my area only get 1-2 a month. That is why sometimes there is a 3 month waiting list.

Habi defintely looks better in person. I didn't like the color fromt he website either. When I saw it in person, I had to have it.

The dealer probably could do the install, but it would cost alot more.

I am glad they can at least give you a good estimate on how long it will take. Usually, they right within a couple days of the delivery timeframe.

They can roll that into your financing with the deal, but you have to work it out on the purchase date. Maybe you can negotiate the aero kit price down.

Threaten him to go somewhere else if he keeps on. Never sign any contract before getting the car. I work in financing so I know alot about it and have seen some messed up things dealers do to trick you. He should know that. What a freakin retard. You may try talking to the manager above him about what he is doing. Something isn't right there.

Yeah, he obviously doesn't understand your wants and needs if he is trying to get you into an EX.
