I really hope I don't end up getting a car with bunch of accessories I don't want. I love those stock wheels, and I don't see why anyone would change that stock shifter. It's freaking gorgeous.
The only reason is 5 pounds less unsprung weight at each wheel and eventually rarity. I agree, the stovk are posh.

Those wheels dont fit the car imo. For the price you can get some TE37 or work meister. Enkei RPF1 is cheaper, looks great and super light.

If you live somewhere where it snows or you can see ice in the winter, do not use 19in winter tyres. You should downside to 18 or 17 wheels.

I've used 19in winter perf tyres and they are complete shit. I had a hard time leaving my driving most days.
I don't want to.

Just trying to make it all make sense. That is one of the easier ways.

Soooo I was just called by a Honda dealership telling me they have 1 Type R coming in 2 months (color unknown) with a markup of $3999 and I am 1st on their list
I had one telling me CW coming in for a markup of 10k. I told him if only it was around 5k I would be interested.....guy puts me on hold, probably talks to his manager and he says 6k is the best he can do. I want it but the speed at which he dropped 4k is a little shady......

So they have allocations already? or is it just a guess?

I think so, some dealerships have a guaranteed allocation for 2023. Does it mean they have a car coming their way yet? Probably not, but they will sometime during this production year.

I know everyone is adverse to paying markups on here but 6k over is relatively decent.

in nowhere, noway paying 5k for absolutely nothing is decent. Its your money do what you will but majority of the people here statically awful with their finances.

This is from my credit karma... I'm 43 years old and its frightening how people at my age is horrible with their money.

It is decent actually, the current market has determined that Civic Type Rs at MSRP are undervalued, paying over MSRP does not automatically mean you’re bad with your finances.

That’s good for you, a middling or terrible credit score also doesn’t equate to one being unable to afford certain things.
