Who in Canada is waiting for the Clarity

Looks like Touring models are starting to be available for purchase in the GTA now that the 7xx cars are arriving. The Parkway 717 car is on carguru.com also Halton got four Tourings in last week, now one of the cars 558 is at the Maple dealer.

 

I ordered my grey Touring from Parkway!! I just emailed my dealer to ask him if that is my car!!

 

Curious if members here that ordered a base model are willing to pay to upgrade to a Touring for $4k given the possibility of Doug Ford cancelling the EHVIP or having to wait literally months for a 2019.

I was offered a Touring from my dealership 2 months before I got my base but there was no fear of the EHVIP cancellation at that time.

 

You aren't in the spreadsheet from what I can see, when did you order your car?

You ordered back in February and got base. I ordered in March and from the spreadsheet, no news of arrivals for base ordered in March or later from what I can tell. And as time goes on, the window of opportunity narrows. I'm willing to pay $4K, not happily, but begrudgingly. I just feel that the touring doesn't offer $4K worth of useful features. My journey isn't over, I will update my status in the spreadsheet as time goes on.

 

I ordered in May

 

Is it yours? I'd be interested to know if any dealer would have a car for someone that ordered that late, or if that was one from someone who ordered earlier (Feb-Apr). Or just happened to show up.

 

Add $4K to the Clarity cost and I would buy something else, so paying more isn't rational for me.

I expect to service my car at the dealer I purchased it from. I went there partly because I like their service department. If they reveal themselves to be a bait-and-switch operation, I wouldn't want to have to deal with them again so my total cost of service would go up compared to my current expectations.

 

Turns out that Clarity wasn’t mine but the manager said mine was built and numbered and on its way. He said it should arrive in the next few days.

 

It shows how Honda is concentrated on the Touring. You ordering in May get a car built, but my base order in March will not be delivered. Thanks Honda.

 

That is frustrating! I guess the profit margin is higher with the Touring. Hang in there?

 

try Midtown Honda - I just cancelled an order there yesterday June 28th and they had the car ready !!!

 

for a Touring, try Midtown Honda - I cancelled my order there yesterday June 28th and they had the car ready !

 

if you still want a Touring model, try Midtown Honda. I just cancelled an order yesterday (June 28th) and the car is there ready !

 

Hi all, I just passed on a white touring at Roadsport (GTA). The dealer no longer submit the application for rebate, and I called Service Ontario. Joanne from Service Ontario has said there are still funds available to fund the rebates, but due to the political climate, those funds could be re-purposed and there is no guarantee for applicants. Applications submitted today may take 2-3 months to process, but if our premier designate announces to scrap the department or reduce the workforce, even with the submission, it may take 6 months, 12 months in order to get it processed. That's a lot to risk on 25% MSRP of the car.

Anyways, if you're willing to go through the incentive program alone, and willing to take delivery in GTA, car can be ready by July 3rd. If you talk to them today. Ask for Peter.

@scuba, you can remove me from the spreadsheet, I'm very sad I couldn't partake in the Clarity parade if you guys ever organize one...

Best of Luck,
James

 

Guys do not worry that much for rebate they CAN NOT take away the rebate for 2018 models. Look at they did even for window rebates , the cutoff date is December for application. Also our rebate id tied down to booking date not delivery date , so you should be fine.

 

In my case application for rebate for 13K was made on 27th and , I got confirmation e mail too , so no issues.

 

You got an email confirmation about your rebate?

 

When I submitted my two rebate applications ($13k vehicle, $1k charger) earlier this week I received an email for each submission acknowledging that my submission had been received.

I called as well and was told it would likely take approx 3-4 months to receive the funds. I was told they are currently working on rebates that were submitted in March.

Cheers,
Gary

 

I got confirmation e mail saying that they have received my applcation
