2023 Civic Type R Waitlist / Deposit / Reservations List - Check in here!

[Icehawk]

Make sure they remove the spacers in the front springs. 90% of dealerships miss this! If car looks way too high up front, that’s why.

Thanks for reminding me - they are removing them now!

I saw the MSRP part. It was still
Just so baffling to me. I refuse to make myself color blind so I’m looking at probably at minimum year wait for a CBP I’m on two lists at number 1 with deposits down but the chances either of those will be black are slim. So once they are allocated if I pass I’ll post here and continue doing the good type r lords work lol

If you find a deal you are willing to take, you might ask your sales rep to try to swap with another dealer... i didn't think they would be willing to do that with a car like this, but my sales rep offered twice before i found out my color (black was my 2nd choice so it worked out...and now that i've had it in person, black is my 1st choice, so i understand where you're coming from ?).

there are so many people here who have said they would want almost anything BUT black (and those in the southern/hot sun states)... they may welcome a swap. before you pass... see if there's a chance for a dealer swap. i know it would lengthen the wait time, but better that than having to pass and start from scratch on your search.

Great advice! And also so jealous a fellow midwesterner got black! I’m in Chicago btw. I’m gonna have to PM you cuz my uncle has a 69 Camaro and your name just reminds me every time.

Steven’s site is great for sure!

If you want to see data from crowd sourced markups (thanks to everyone who has contributed literally hundreds of reports), I suggest my personal site:

? Thank you, made keeping track of my calls so much easier! I was using the Honda inventory site before I found your map and within a month of calling about 100 dealerships I finally found my sonic grey CTR last week. They initially wanted $15k markup, after a week they called back for $7500, I negotiated them down further to $6250. Plus, I got a nice trade in for my ‘22 Si.

Keep digging guys, there’s dealerships out there willing to negotiate. You just gotta put in the groundwork if you really want one that bad.

Congrats TypeRGirl. Saw your many contributions to dealer reports on the east coast!

For those who think the ADM’s are inaccurate, I of course suggest you call every dealer and report in with the latest numbers into the site. No surprise, from the dealer’s vantage point, they believe they have one-shot to maximize their profit, and so are willing to start from a high price and work their way down to find the market equilibrium, so don’t lose hope. When these cars start sitting on lots, prices will inevitably come down with interest rates as high as they are.

Heck yeah! I called in all across the map and took names to report back as best as I could. Even back tracked to dealerships with older reports to see if they came down on the price.

Still today after already having my Type R, I’ll update the map when a dealership reaches back out. It’s for the cause. These markups are ridiculous! Just hold out and be diligent, they’re coming down.

Yes! I've yet to see one on the street. I was able to take an in person look at the Boost Blue Type R Curry Honda had at $15K over sticker back in December. Not sure what they ultimately sold it for.

Congrats on securing your Type R and thanks for your contributions on map! ?

So... The Honda dealer that I've purchased 2 vehicles from in the past and gotten 2 referred customers/family is willing to drop the ADM from $15K to $5K after "making my case to the GM". Its not the color that I want (red/sgp), but $5K. Its only like day 3 of searching for an FL5. You guys think I can wait longer and score the color I prefer?

If you don't need it right now why not wait?

Red is going to be super hard to come by, Sonic gray will be easier to acquire if you wait. How soon would like the car? IF you don't mind waiting then wait. IF you see one on the street, all that waiting is going out the window I can tell you that much!

Don't go to the AHC Garage meet in Sawgrass this Sunday lol.

 

[TypeRD]

Agree. I’d wait if you don’t “need” the car right away (since selling your Subbie). Check to see if they can trade with another dealership who has red or sgp? Or maybe you can help locate one for them to trade? I think if you do some of the leg work, that’d help matters in your favor. Another option is to take the car now, then trade it for the color you want 6-12 months later, when (hopefully) there are more on the market to choose from. Maybe even trade it back to your Honda dealership. They’d certainly appreciate that.
