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.

Hendrick Honda in Hickory?

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

Let us know how it drives

I drove one a bit ago and also a CT5-V. Both drove amazing. Even the weaker CT4-V (vs. the Blackwing) was smooth and the interior was fantastic. It's engine sound falls a bit flat, but I suspect that's by design. The MASSIVE downside for me was that it was not manual. But I'll give it another drive since the one at this dealership is actually a very good deal. It only has one package, the one I want, a lot of the other OEM accessories I'd want.

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

I'm not 100% sold on the looks, but sometimes the opinion changes in person. Cars often look different once you're right up on them. If it drives like a dream it'll be tempting, but that's part of the test drive reason. Part of the reason I didn't even test drive a Genesis was getting to the dealership and going "holy crap, these things are hideous." So looks definitely matter in person.

Yeah lol

I called them back in maybe April. I saw you were in NC and that price sounded familiar. I can’t remember if I would have been first or second. Congrats tho, great price.

Thanks, a lot better than anything in Charlotte. They are doing 20-25k

Heard that. I just can’t not do a manual. One day not long from now, you won’t be able to buy a new manual.

Luckily I still own a manual MX-5 and the Honda Acty is manual for whatever that matters lol, so I can get my manual fix if I want. Especially when hitting Blood Mountain or Tail of the Dragon.

local toyota has a Red GR86 premium for msrp plus few accessories. Might drive that for a couple years and get the FL5 MMC

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).

Same CT4s are mid 70ks

Looks do matter! I bought an Elantra N back in January and it drove very well but the looks not so much. Ended up selling it for more MSRP.

Thought the same thing. They look good and I heard they are very fun to drive.

 

[Boostlag]

if you go RS3... gotta go turbo blue or itica verde

If this gets delayed more than 5-6 months im moving on to porsche 718s. I want the R but the look pinned to port and another year would likely move me a different direction.

These cars would be crazy cool if they would put a damn turbo on them already.
