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

[1971Camaro]

I think it depends on the area. I've yet to see one locally, but when out of state working I saw 4.

I totally agree it depends on the area. In the part of chicagoland where i live, i have only seen 2 FK8s, and the only other FL5 was at a car rally. whereas, i DAILY see BMWs,. porsches, audis, mercedes, and i've even seen ferraris and a lotus! so, the CTRs feel very rare around here. of course, if i go by the map, we've only had around 20 of the FL5s sold so far in a metro area of 10 million. so, i guess i shouldn't be surprised i've never seen one on the road \_O_/ (whatever)

5 in 200k area.. A county and a town make up this amount. I like it tbh.

starting this year I’ve been seeing a whole lot more FK8’s around.. It’s either I’ve never noticed them or they came out of hiding during the summer

 

[SKINNIE]

At this point two of my friends have an FL5...

And I'm fairly certain there are two more locally. It's basically 5 in a 30 mile radius.

The car doesn't feel all that rare...

In my area I pass by at least 3 -4 FK8s daily. When I had my EVO X. The only time I would see one was when I would go to meets lol.

Anyone looking for Championship White?
There are several in transit around the country right now.
I know some of the local dealers and in the past, at least 2 of them have given higher prices over the phone than they actually were charging for the deal when i went in person.
they will all be at least 5k over... just don't know how much til i talk to the reps i know.

I do have a contact at one of them who's an honest player (no bait-n-switch).

I'm not going to go through a bunch of work unless someone is truly interested. but, if any of you are serious, plmk asap.

Any in California?

Wait... so FL5s are sitting with only a 5k mark up?? That's good news?

They are.

The good news is they started out at 30K over and are quickly approaching MSRP.

Be careful on appraisals.... it's wild out there.

Jerry Damson Honda sales guy called me yesterday (I inquired 3-4 months ago) to let me know they have a BB Type R coming in. I told him right off the rip I would not pay more than 1K over and no accessoires.

He said let me see what I can do. Gave him all my info and trade details. He did come back with 1K over MSRP, but they under evaluated my trade by $10,500. I asked if he wanted me to send me recent offers from CarMax, Vroom and my local Honda dealer, he said they would not go any higher.

I was a straight dick and said look man, I told you within 30 seconds of answering my phone what I was looking for to not waste my time or yours. Why the fuck did you call me multiple times and have me gather all this info just to try and screw me around.

Then he started back peddling and saying well what were you trying to get your payments to. I said I am not a fucking idiot and do not shop for cars based on payments. Thank you for wasting my fucking time, have a great day.

I guess the cars are sitting as I've have dealers from all over the country calling me that I reached out to earlier in the year about getting an R.

When is the Type R expected to arrive?

What is your trade?

Why not just remove your trade and buy the car and sell the vehicle you are replacing?

They would only do the deal if I traded at that price, otherwise it was a 10K ADM.

Sorry... I wish you could have a straight forward transaction.

Don't get me wrong, 1k over MSRP is silly to ask for but you still deserve an honest straight forward approach to minimize the BS. You are not tricking someone into this. They are either going to choose to pay what you want or settle or or they will not.

Unfortunately this seems like a new approach for dealers. I have spoken to several dealers that would not even entertain selling the car unless I was trading something in.

Used fk8 are still selling for $40k+ w/ approx 10k miles today. You can't even find a 400z in the wild. The new car market sucks and only electric cars are hitting the mark.

This probably isn't great for residual values.
