East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

Thanks guys. The color is Championship White. Funny thing is that I was quoted 10k over initially but I said my max was 55k OTD so only if they could be a little flexible and meet my max I would buy it. At first the salesperson wasn't so sure if they would come down but she said she would ask the manager. Couple of days go by without any updates from her and she messages me saying "let us know if you decide to reserve the Type R at our pricing", to which I respond, "let me know if you decide to let me reserve the Type R at my pricing haha."

She says she would ask her manager again and then asks me how soon can I place a deposit if we reach a deal and I said as long as I have a signed contract I'll place a deposit on the phone. A few minutes later the internet sales manager calls me and sends me a quote and the OTD turns out to be around 52k; 1.3k in Resistall protection (marked up), $97 for wheel locks, $250 for out of state delivery (Massachusetts doesn't allow temporary plates, so it can either be delivered on a truck or be driven on dealer plates to my city hall in Maine for registration), and a 2k ADM. Fair game I say, and get the car locked; did the financing last Monday and now we wait!

What blows my mind is that I was skeptical at first whether I should give them a call because @CivicR38 (thanks man, really appreciate it) was the one who gave me a heads up about the Championship White but he had told me that it was $9906 over. I was returning from a road trip in Florida, sitting at the airport when I read his message on the forum. My plane got delayed and I decided to give them a call, and they didn't pick up. I gave up but the plane got delayed again, so I called again, and still they didn't pick up. Saw their timings and found out that I had called after hours so I just went on Honda's build website and put in their zipcode in the build summary and asked for a quote by putting in my contact details. Just wonder what would have happened if the plane didn't get delayed 2 times.............if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

Happy for you my friend, you actually ended up with a better deal than what I have mine locked in for. Shows you what a little haggling can do.

You must have had a much better sales rep than I had at this dealership. When I talked to him and was told 9900 I told them I had a deal for 4k over elsewhere and if they could match it I'd be game......All these dealerships are frustrating, most of them are a joke.

Expect some pics when you get her!

Thank you! What is "on order?" Can dealers request cars? Or dealers just get randomly assigned?

On order is essentially the dealership’s allocation. Honda assigns them, dealers can make recommendations on color and a few other things but for the most part it’s assigned by Honda

Any ETA for JHMFL5G48PX001016? Thanks.

AbeTypeR · Feb 4, 2023

Does anyone have any leads on a Blue on close to South Florida under 10k adm? I'm about to lock in a deal in another state and rather save the trip.

My indiana car was last seen in Kansas on Wednesday? So they are moving? ETA is this week at the moment

AspecR will my dealer know where the car is as it moves across the US? It seems you do so I would think they would also. If so it would be interesting to follow it as it moves to South Carolina from California.

I’ve received two updates from my dealer; the car is at Richmond, and the car was last in Kansas.

Every dealership has the same thing Aspec can look at ! He doesn’t have any magical way of looking things up. Lol
Call and pester your sales person!!!! That is unless, you haven’t bought the car and just want to know when it’s going to get there ? Lol

Dallman · Feb 5, 2023

Bought the car. Checking with salesman, hate to give up the one I have but am ready to move up to the newer version.

I waited 4 months since they first landed in Cal. So what’s the big deal ! It will show up eventually!
relax and enjoy it when it finally gets to you !
With kind regards

Ah, it brings me joy to see the dealers who wasted my time during the first batch still sitting on their inventory. I still get random calls asking if I'm still interested.

The best part is when they call and you’ve already bought.
