2006 Civic si Availability?

I have some interest in this vehicle but when I went to the local Honda dealer yesterday, I was told all the 2006 units have been pre-ordered, and at best they could put me on a waiting list for a 2007. They also suggested if I left my name and I was quick enough, I may actually be able to look at one which is already sold!

Does this sound right? Any advice on how to buy one of these and not get ripped off? We did not get into any serious discussion, but now I wonder how one would know what you would get for a 2007 model and what it would cost? All I have heard about 2007 is that there is going to be a sedan version of the si.

I'm in Canada. Thanks for any advice you can provide,

Ron

Have the dealer do a locate on your SI(EX).
