Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and excited to have found it! I just put a down payment on an SX-P yesterday, after learning a few things along the way. Happy to share, if this is helpful to anyone.
My current lease is up in March, so I started looking around about a month ago. I actually called 9 dealers yesterday and received a wide range of information. Several of the dealers are charging $5k-$7k above msrp for SX-P, while others are charging MSRP (there is a rebate too). For the dealers who are charging MSRP, there are 2 buckets, those who have allocated SX-P and those who do not. For any custom order, I was told Jun-Aug, but others said that was not reliable (I also heard the 2021 will get a price increase - no surprise).
So, I went the other route and just started calling dealerships to see what they had on order that wasn't sold yet. Eventually I found the SX-P I wanted that was scheduled to arrive in 4 weeks. I drove up to the dealer (fortunately this one wasn't too far) and put a deposit down.
There were several dealers with SX-P (and other models/trims) on order that weren't sold yet, it's just about finding them with the right configuration. The largest dealers seemed to be getting about 5 units per month.
Btw, thanks for the link to the look-up site! I don't see my car there yet (but have a picture of the dealer's vehicle master detail sheet with the internal 10 digit
VIN and options). I'm sorry if I missed it in this thread. Do we know how early those are posted to this site? My dealer said their last few actually arrived a little bit early. Thanks so much!
Updated: Oh... I see it's in FA status, that helps.
