Yea, but that is what their worth for retail. Every single one we bought back was bought for more than MSRP when new

The Fk8 (and hopefully FL5) could be the rare car that never depreciates. It's already looking that way. I don't see their values going down, even with a replacement around the corner, due to supply issues.

i know. i just can't pay 50k for a car that's about to only have 1/2 year warranty left and has 20k miles on it

I agree with you on that

Both more capable yes and you cant really argue RWD but those depreciate more than the Civic Type R. These Type Rs almost pay you to drive them lol

I agree with you on that

As long as it is possible and your dealer does it... Why not certify..

those two are a waste...unless it's an m or rs car, no sense in paying that. an rs3 is better than both of those cars

I pass about 9-10 different FK8's every day on my normal commute. I don't really see them as a collector's car, and not worth the current asking price.

That being said - I realize the prices are determined by consumers....so I guess I'm in the minority opinion.

I am willing to wiggle a bit on the FL-5 simply because I like the styling 10x more. However, I still need to be realistic with my money. I'll never pay 50K for a vehicle that the manufacturer says should cost 40K. That bubble will eventually burst and I don't want to be left holding that bag.

a 19 mile one is $58k currently, also a 1200 mile sold last week for $56k

they're out there....but i would never pay over $50k otd which is basically msrp + ttt

Won't be the norm, but same situation for me. A lot of it comes down to timing and being in the right place at the right time.
US car buying...isn't it a joy.

definitely not normal, but in 2017 the mark-ups were crazy too since it was a car so many people waited on for so many years. there are dealerships out there that do not believe is jacking up prices, my cousin just got a red gr86 6spd for msrp + ttt from a toyota dealer down here in florida that does msrp only on all cars. sometimes...you find these deals in the most random places, that's why you just have to look up every dealer you can. you have to remember in some areas, these cars are not big sellers as weird as that sounds.
