The family is expanding and we decided on a new black on black 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring with Nav and DVD. On Dec. 6, we contacted the local rep. for Autoland in our credit union branch. He called us back later that day and he said a Honda dealer in Orange County has one. We agreed on the price and they said the car will be in our credit union in 2 days. We called 2 days later on Dec. 8 and they said we will not get the car that day. In fact, the car was not even in the dealer lot. They said the car is in transit and it will take 7-10 days to get to the dealer. We ask if they can track where the car is so we can find out the exact day it arrives. They say they have no way of doing that. I can't believe that they cannot track a car but UPS can track packages that cost $1! We wait and 10 days later still no car. We call and they said that the car was not in transit, it never left the Honda plant and the plant is now closed for the Holidays. We have to wait until the plant opens to find out when the car will go out. I called the dealer Jan 6 and he said that the car will come out of the plant on 25th or 27th of this month and we'll probably get it first week of Feb. What a frustrating experience! And it's not over yet. It went from, you'll get the car in 2 days to maybe early Feb. (2 months later). It would have been different if they told us we have to wait 2 months to get the car but telling us we'll get it in 2 days and not delivering just sucks. What incompetence. Does this happen a lot? I know there are car dealer guys here that can enlighten me. Thanks for letting me vent.
