It’s pretty amazing. I have the money and the desire to buy a car but I can’t get it.
Here’s an email I’ve sent to one of the Honda Car dealerships when they asked me why I haven’t taken delivery of a new car from them yet.
I will say that I am plainly frustrated that Honda is unable to deliver on its offerings.
I began the car buying process in earnest a couple of weeks ago. I want to upgrade my wife from her 1995 Civic to a 2016 Fit.
According to Honda’s web site they offer colors and models of the car that cannot be ordered. Rather, they just produce cars and send them out apparently randomly so there is no way to just order a car and get what you want.
Attached please find my “built” car spec sheet.
No, I don’t want another color
No, I don’t want another model and add the missing pieces.
No, I don’t want to have the car driven across the country to me by some teenager and have the engine broken in by someone who doesn’t share my desire for the car to last and perform well. CarMax exists for those cars.
I just want a current model car in my desired advertised color.
Why can’t Honda deliver?
