Hi! Well, to be honest my salesman ordered my '08 Accord Sedan EXL V6 NAVI Polished Metal/Black on September 20th. It should be here in the next three weeks or so-by Christmas anyway. I asked him if I needed to put down a deposit and he told me no, maybe because I have known him for a while. I typed up my request, he gave it to the sales manager, and they ordered it. He called me and told me everyhing went fine with th order. He actually ordered a couple of coupes for people as well. I don't know why your salesperson told you that. Maybe he/she wanted to sell you what he had or maybe thay dealership doesn't. Doesn't make sense to me.
I hope you get what you are looking for. I'd be glad to put you in contact with my salesman but I live on the Gulf Coast which is probably too far away for you.
