Delivery time New Civic Diesel .........Delayed

Buzby · 25th February 2008, 15:55

I ordered a new Civic Diesel EX Milano red in early January for delivery 1st March. My dealer has just told me it will be early April before it arrives.

Anyone else having delivery problems ?

I ordered mine Civic Diesel EX on 5th January and was told that there would be a very long wait for a red one. Lucky I chose Galaxy Grey.

I don't know why but Red have a long delivery time. I did Order mine in October 2006, in December the delivery was planned for April/May so I swapped for a Silver Champagne which was earlier...

Keep Patience !

Is it more expensive than red? This would explain a lot

I'm in Nottingham and order my Red Type-S ctdi gt (with satnav+image pack) on first week of Jan. Car arrived two weeks ago, and is ready to collect this Saturday.

Unlucky, hope you get it soon.

I believe Milano Red is the only non-chargeable paint colour, hence its popularity, and inevitable delays.

Hope the wait is over soon, rather than later for you all.

Its just the way of things with the civic

Waiting is a pain, but it will be worth it in the end, believe me. I waited from August 07 til December 07 - longest wait of my life!

As IH says it is the way with the CIvic.

Perhaps the long wait is due to applying more paint?(Ref stone chips) .

Honda may be made of dreams but not more paint, I'm afraid

I've got exactly the same prob. Was supposed to have my civic the first week of March - Now it's mid April. Apparently the NHB EX isn't popular - so they build to order only!!

Only thing is - I ordered it back in October 07 - They'll only start to build it next week - can you believe it??!!

Though I will not change the colour, the wait will be worth it!

Just had a call telling me that mine too will be delayed till the end of March, needless to say i didnt take it very well. told them im not prepared to wait and that i have already made arrangements to sell my current car etc etc.
To be honest i am prepared to pull out of the deal and buy a ex demo car or something!
