So now I'm thinking about the Honda Type R... here is what I'd like to send in hopes of a timely refund:

Hi Honderp Dillerlady,


I took my wife to the auto show to look at the R and she thinks it looks way too flashy, ultimately it's my choice but she doesn't believe that I'm making the right one regarding the styling and our lifestyle, and I'm probably going to sell it in a couple of years. I've decided to think over her observations yesterday and today and agree that the Type R is too flashy. After all, I keep my cars for 8-10 years and I'm not sure that a 47 year old in a type R is the image I want to present lol!


Sadly I'm not going to be ordering the car. I understand that my deposit is refundable based on the MSRP price being below 38k so I can wait for the release date and hope it's over the amount, and that's fair. If you think that management doesn't care to hold/keep the deposit at this stage in the game then that's even better!


Either way, let me know if you get a chance to run it by them and what they say. I realise that we didn't write into the Agreement this condition and because that is the case I will own this decision moving forward. It's not the end of the world either way.


Mario







P.S. VW GoRf is nicer :trollface:
:mindblown: you used the age old "wife" excuse :trollface:
I think I will Imagegasm:

Really who gives a fack. A mistake is made so I can say whatever I want but really it's up to the dealership to decide what they want to do with the cash until a price is released. Obviously I'd massage the email but I don't really have a good reason to pull out. I could say that a loved one died or I lost my job :iono: but really the wife card is my favorite. Works great for most things lol

I wouldn't talk about image, just say the wife shit all over the design and refused to let it in the driveway, end of discussion.

Yeah that's cleaner. We will see what they say. I'll try not to insult their product line.

If I were a dealer I'd probably see how the whole thing plays out and not give back the deposit unless there's a rule in there somewhere that allows people to back out of a deal on a car that doesn't exist yet.

Well just out of curiosity isn't the whole point of a deposit that you lose it if you back out?

Some dude a car I was selling on feebay, then thankfully I was able to keep the $500 deposit. He btw used the "wife" excuse as well.

I wouldn't say much of anything, you changed your mind and would like your deposit back - it doesn't matter why.

Yep, and it is closer to the TRUTH, if they can handle that. :lol:

:lolgasm:
:dat:

I too have gotten deposits for the same reason.

Still, your contract was if the price is below 38k CAD right? Which would be roughly 29k USD?

Ain't no fucking way the R will be below that.

They will probably go for around what the GoRf, Fuckus RS and any WRX/STI go for.

:dat: and no money on the hood because it's the freshest new thing. GoRf base is over 40, RS is 50, but STI is about 37 starting

I wouldn't bother with most cars under warranty but it's a great time to buy out of warranty specialty cars like classic M/P/poorvette/etc cars. It's a legit 25% savings that I really can't believe will last very long. Either the dollhair goes back to 1:1 or goods and services adjust to reflect new costs.
