I feel the same way, I own a 21 FK8 which is a 40k car. For me these civics (ITR,FL5)priced north of 50k, make me want to get a TLX type S if and when I get tired of my FK8. I’ve seen several used TLX type S for sale below 50k.
At this point I don’t think there is a dispute that the FL5 is a better car than the FK8 (looks are subjective aside). The question is, is it 15 to 20k better? I guess it depends on you and your pockets. For me, I can afford one, but for me it isn’t 20k better than my car.
See I don’t even understand the charity auction, isn’t usually when you see charity auctions on TV like mecum or Barrett Jackson, the tax break goes to the buyer? Isn’t the tax break in this case going to the dealer? I don’t know.
I went to see the one at Schaumburg Honda, they wanted 13k over at the time. I wasn’t interested. I bought my FK8 from brilliance Honda a couple of years ago, I inquired about the FL5 with my sales person, and it seems they are not interested in selling that sonic gray FL5 anytime soon. I’ll...
In my experience, I went to check out a FL5 at my local dealer, they offered me 40k for my low mileage 21 FK8 and they wanted almost 60k for the FL5 out the door. So for me it was a 20k difference. And by they way, they did sell it for 60k, including accessories and packages and all that bs.
