I hope the deposit is refundable because some one is going to be disappointed if they find out the price is more than they wanted to pay, or they don't like the colours available or the spec and numbers do not match their expectations. :rolleyes:
It's in the nature of a deposit you won't get it back if you change your mind. Otherwise anyone can put down and withdraw a deposit and the car would have sold out a year ago. :) But if you Change your mind towards another Honda, maybe...
I don't recall any open books in Continental Europe or am I wrong on this?
I remember taking deposits the first time around ... and when it got close enough the choice was, err, one spec, manual or auto, red, silver or black (and you paid extra for the metallic!!).
That was it and we didnt lose a single deposit. You wouldnt get your deposit back on the 2015 model and dependant upon the contract you've signed, you may not be able to 'sell' your deposit either.
When I called to ask the local Honda dealer about the 2015 deposit, the only concrete bit of info the sales guy had for me was that the contract would not allow me to sell the new NSX within 6 months. Everything else was ... vague.
Never heard of a non refundable deposit. With the spec so open, there's no way they can refuse to refund it. That said, I paid mine by credit card and over the phone so I get protection from both of those factors if necessary. I don't anticipate needing it.
I've not signed anything either. I had to beg for a receipt for them to even acknowledge I'd put my name down.
It would be great if there were no options, that's one of the things I love about Japanese cars. Spec is very high as standard, and if not is usually only available in discrete levels rather than an annoying individual options list.
Not sure if being the first to get one is the optimum anyway. One year later or so there will be a type R-version or the like (with a blink in the eye to McLaren cars).
I thought that they would be built to order - in other words you spec it how you want it (within the available parameters). The list is just that - they'll contact you when a build slot is available. Yes there will be options, or should I say choices, to be made. The days of a factory churning cars out, then waiting for buyers is over (in this market sector).
