She just claimed there is not a black one in New England. Could that be possible and how could she know?
It's this new thing called the internet. Heard of it?
The Honda dealerships are connected, and the can view each others supplies. Works for parts, too.
And they will try and trade in-stock models to other dealerships to get you the one you want. Problem is, very few dealers will ever want to swap the popular colors just to get another white or similarly unpopular color that will be difficult to move.
Late last year I was trying to track down a certain color CR-V that my wife wanted. Was told by a few different dealers that they didn't have the color but would try and get one. They all came back saying they couldn't, but would keep looking. At first I figured it was BS and they were hoping I'd relent and buy what they had in stock, and it was probably true. But after some time, when they're not making any money off you without actually selling you a car, there isn't any motivation to NOT find you a car. Ended up finding the color at one dealer, and when I met with them and mentioned I really wanted this particular one, the guy told me that he was getting multiple calls/emails a week from other dealers hoping to trade for it.
