Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Anthonyfa18]

Well damn it’s here, from Halifax port apparently. I’ll probably pick it up in Jan once the winter tires are installed and it’s ready to go.

That carzy my car from Vancouver and I was at dealer in Montreal

Congrats dude!

Thank you, appreciate it.
It's a little rushed cause they want to close the deal before new years and everyone including the insurance broker is on holidays.
I don't plan on driving the car this winter so unfortunately it's gonna sit for a few months but at least I'll have some time to get some accessories. I'm thinking the first thing after the PPF is mats and a seat cover. Lol super exciting stuff.

so yeah officially joined the R club this week....i picked her up from thunder bay ontario, Gore Motors were fantastic....they told me they are only getting one and promised it to me and they delivered....did not push any accessories or warranties or anything onto me...everything in the car are things i asked for and actually got and was charged actual price cost msrp whatever you wanna call it


also huge shout out to @Unity Performance for the SuperSpeed wheels...I ordered with Humza super smooth process and he threw in free lug nuts...I asked him to ship em to Thunder Bay to Kal Tire where i had my PA5s ordered with Kal

when i got into town the wheels were there, the tires were there Kal had already mounted and balanced ...next morning i went to Gore Motors picked up the car did the paperwork and i was on my way


Epic drive ...i am currently pitting and figured i'd share some snaps with you guys...

damn it pics are too big for the forum...ok will upload screenshots should be smaller


Whoever is waiting on one...just hang on this car is worth it

thank you and congrats on finally getting yours, yeah a bunch of us were told spring but ended up with a Christmas gift.... no i was not able to choose a color ...the dealership i picked up from told me they were told they are only getting one and it's a red one and that was 2 years ago... and so a red showed up... honestly I'm sort of happy with the color i initially wanted white but seeing how prevalent CW is i am glad i got RR at the end... regardless when you drive this car it will make you forget the color and only appreciate how good of a driver's car and engagement it gives you

I was just curious about the process, but for sure the car looks good in every colour and yours is going to be even more rarer. I still haven't seen a single one in the GTA or KW area.

 

[sam3r_11]

i have seen a few in the gta 2 white and one sgp but no red, but there is a red one in the gta i have only seen it on ig

Just wondering, how much of a deposit did u guys have to pay to secure a spot?

 

[Apex Carver]

$500 on my end

 

[onepointsix]

$1000

 

[Honda_dna]

How come my dealer wants 5000??

 

[katch922]

Sketch haha I was 500 but 1000 is the norm these days. I mean if they are selling you msrp you probably save with 5k deposit. Just pay with credit card, worse case you get your cc company to pull the money. You can within a year

 

[onepointsix]

That’s bullshit and I wouldn’t bother with them at this point or any other dealership for that amount. Probably safe to say most allocations are spoken for unless Honda decides to increase the number of units they’re shipping here.

 

[katch922]

Ya I guess if I was doing something like that I would make the dealer sign a letter saying if they can’t get me a car by 2025 summer at MSRP no forced addons, they will return the full amount.

 

[Honda_dna]

Cannot guarantee it will be at msrp as they say they will go by market price at that time.

5k is quite a bit on hold without any promises that the car will come or even have no say on markup. At the end, I may end up losing interests on my deposit and without a car.

But on the other hand, seems like there won’t be a chance at all if I don’t do this. Dealer caught me FOMO for sure.

 

[katch922]

If they are going by market price, I’d stay clear. Go get a deposit on ITS and keep waiting for other ctr options.
