3 days to prep! My delivery date was 14th May, mine arrived at the dealership late on Friday 5th and they had already started fitting the rear parking sensors, Supaguard was done Monday morning and I got it at 12noon same day (8th May).

Kpow99 · 10th May 2006, 15:16

Depends on the volume of work the dealer has got, it's about 5 hours to supaguard. Mine arrived on a Tuesday and ready on Friday.

Raegten · 12th May 2006, 15:56

Ok, I ordered mine on the 12th of December. The dealer had been saying he could get the 1.8ES for me by February but wouldn't take a deposit off me till he'd confirmed that. By the 12th he was able to tell me that it would actually be more like the end of March.... Not much I could do so I went with it.
By the start of March things were looking Iffy on the delivery date and then on the 12th of March my car was stolen and written off. So I was carless. The dealership I'd ordered the car from said that they could lend me a car if my Civic was coming in a week or too however...it now looked like it would be the end of June....or possibly July!!
So I started looking around and ended up finding a garage in Cork (I live in Dublin) that said that had the model I wanted in the colour I wanted on May Allocation. The price they quoted was the same so I went for it. I had a rental car from the insurance company for two weeks, then a week on the bus, then two weeks off work, another week on the bus and by then the car was ready to be collected. My wife and I flew down to Cork (good old Ryan air) and drove back up in the new car.
I made sure to get the deposit back from the origional dealer too.
That's my story.

wow long wait mate, but im sure it was worth it

Raegten · 12th May 2006, 16:34

Absolutely worth it. I've been looking at a huge number of cars and finally settled on the Civic and I'm sure I made the right decision. Reliability was a big point for me but I wanted something a bit different from the norm too. The new Civic arrived on the Scene at just the right time.

The ones that are ordered now here in Finland, will be delivered next year. No 2.2 i-CTDi shipped here until next year either.

Hi,

Also from Finland, i've ordered my 1.8 Sport galaxy grey metallic in December 17/2005. Visited R-Juoppi last week, the estimated delivery time on the computer was listed as june. Lets hope it doesnt slip, several orderes have been postponed 1-6 months due to a strike in germany. There are abt. 500-1000 cars stuck in loading bays :/. I heard that there's a new shipment of Hondas coming in May 15 -> May 30. Lets hope my precious is on that shipment

.

Im amazed how poorly the honda dealers have information about shipping times. I mean come on, they dont even know which cars are on a ship? What the heck is up with that´? I've already waited 6 months... thats a ****ng long time

.

Lets hope my baby gets to me in june

Cant actually remember, was just surfing around for some civic info and this popped up, best one yet. Finland doesnt have any sites :/, except honda club of finland... not a member yet

pikkumies · 17th May 2006, 07:25

Just called Honda Finland, there's a shipment of civics coming next weekend and the end of May. Lets hope my ride is on those ships

Copycat · 17th May 2006, 07:37

And maybe mine has arrived two months early!?

Doubt it

sonicsteve · 18th May 2006, 16:24

Dealer has told me that I should get my EX by the end of June instead of the end of July. Although it's still "To be confirmed"

richierich · 18th May 2006, 16:31

Ordered mine on 28th January, collected it on 22 April. Mind you, only had it for a week before the dealer came to collect it to put right all the problems I found on collection. Nothing major, mostly cosmetic (see gallery for one example), they had not prep'd it well at all, in fact the carpet did not even fit down the side of the passenger seat!

Sorry for off topic request, but any owners had issues with the steering wheel not being centred when going straight? Had to get mine sorted out, drove me mad.

pikkumies · 24th May 2006, 11:13

OH MAMA! my car has arrived! A car ordered with the same color cancelled his orderer, GOING TO PICK IT UP NOWWWW!

richierich · 24th May 2006, 11:21

Don't forget the checklist.
