Shorter waiting time for Honda Insight
The earthquake in Japan earlier this year has hit various industries hard, including the automotive sector. The supply and delivery of various parts were affected as manufacturers took months to return to full force. Honda Malaysia had to suspend order taking of the Insight from April to May, but the books were reopened on 1 June.
Recent Insight customers have been dealing with waiting periods of two to three months, but Honda Malaysia today announced that the wait will be shortened to less than a month from now on. The earlier shortage of parts also forced a price increase, as the Insight’s sticker price now reads RM99,800 with insurance instead of the previous RM98,000.
“Now that the production in Japan has resumed with full force, the supply for Insights is very much improved. Hence now is a good time to visit Honda’s authorised dealer and book the car,” Mr. Ueno ended with an upbeat note.
The Insight has proved popular among buyers, having already exceeded 75% of its 4,000-unit annual sales target at the time of writing.
