It's been nice knowing you fellas. I'm taking back my down payment and getting a 96 Celsior for the daily. I'll still be in line for the MSRP dealer though. Y'all have fun
Yup same here. Still in line for an msrp (or close to it) deal but just ordered an m2

New M2 is sickkkkk!
If only I liked the look of BMWs like at all. Something about them I find hideous. But I'm going to a diff area for more test drives this weekend. A diff dealership has some really well priced CT4-Vs and next door some RS3s are actually in stock. While both will be a bit more OTD than the CTR, it won't be substantially more (10k or less).

I have some reasonably well priced CT4-Vs near me as well. The type r that I ordered plus 4k with accessories (markup) which will roughly be around 50k OTD. I am still not sure if this car is worth it at that price but it is my obtainable dream car. It is not priced anywhere near the CT4-Vs in my area (73k).

Mine's going to be ~60k OTD. Blackwings are obviously a good bit more than that, but a CT4-V base is ~65k OTD with some packages, so it's comparable for me.

I was adamant about not paying a markup so I called some dealers that I knew sold @ MSRP earlier this year and their list was like 10+ long which makes sense so I was then okay with paying a small markup so I can get one quicker. Decided to call a local dealer that I know has a markup, they said I was the first person to inquire for a type r and said there was a $4,135.00 mandatory accessory package and I put a 1k deposit down for the first type r coming to that dealership. It is sonic grey pearl and is currently in transit.

this is the cheapest i can find near me. Cringe at the thought of spending nearly 1500 a month for a car/insurance/gas/taxes

Insurance and taxes won't be too bad for me. About the same as a CTR tbh. Luckily, unlike VA (I lived there), you only pay the personal property tax at purchase in GA, instead of yearly. And since the OTD price would only be ~10k (maybe less) more than the CTR, the tax is about the same. But as I have a substantial downpayment and a trade in which can knock a little bit off, the monthly isn't too bad on either the CTR or the CT4-V (or RS3). I think like 600ish a month.

You should def test drive the CT4-V. That price is unbelievably close.

Let us know how it drives

I moved from Koreandale to Arlington last year and my property tax went up quite a bit. My GTI is about 500 a year valued at like 18k so I'm guessing the Caddy would about 1600 give or take.
I dont think you can go wrong either way I prefer the caddy but RS3 with a AWE track exhaust sounds like a baby Huracan.

RS3’s look great as well, but it just seems kinda boring. I’ve never driven one, so they may be amazing.
