In transit meaning the Honda website when you build the car and put in your zip it will show dealers in your area. It is color specific I have noticed so keep that in mind you have to go back and forth between the colors to see if anything pops. Dealer called me last Thursday to let me know he sees car in his system with vin (thinking this is system that AspecR screen shots for us?). Yesterday my car was not showing on the Honda builder as in transit but today it is. Pure speculation on my part but I would guess in transit in Honda terms means car has left port of entry and is actually en route to dealer.

Mine says in transit, but the dealer says it is still waiting to be assigned, as far as shipment goes.

I called a Richmond, VA-area dealer today with the suspicion that they received an allocation (based on AspecR's posts). I reached out to them in June and was all but assured that I was first in line. They tell me this morning that they did receive an allocation, but that their general manager purchased it for himself. What is that lmao.

any possible way to get a rough estimate on how many fl5s are in people’s hands (prob impossible)? i feel like i‘m the first in this forum? was thinking of just putting it aside to just sit in garage for a while, but i can’t stop driving it. gonna drive the shit out of it and not worry. i have around 270ish miles now, maybe the highest mileage one out there besides the dudes in japan who already have theirs????

There is a long list of things that dealers do that I dislike but understand such as markups, holding out on info for any reason, or letting people start a bidding war. Far more things.

One thing I cannot accept or understand is this. My dealer here in marysville told me the other day that they only sell at MSRP. They would only sell to local people, who have a trade in, and that has done business with them before (oh wow that's me perfect). They had no one on their list...I thought perfect. Closest dealer located to me, sells at MSRP, couldn't be better. But then he went on to tell me that the General manager had dibs on the first Type R...I was like..ok, well put me on the list for the next. That's a deal I can muster. So he went to go 'put me in his book'. When he came back, he proceeded to tell me he got me in his book, but not only was the first one already pre-sold to the GM, the GM also already pre-sold the next 2 to his 'friends' Literally what the sales guy told me. I told him "bro that sounds pretty shady" then laughed. He was like...well do you want to be put in line or not. I just hung up on the guy.

IMO, you should not be allowed to pre-sell your own inventory. I totally understand maybe the first one (even though I still think that's still grimy) but the first 3? Lol what's the point of having the business?

Pretty sure that was the salt in me talking, but that is not good business to me. I was shocked the dude even let on that much info LOL.

Sorry you got jacked dude, that sucks.

Maybe ask what peoples badge numbers are on their cars? If you get a big enough sample, you could see what the highest number is and that could be a pretty good estimate.

Prob the first on this forum. Have you been getting a lot of attention on the road? haha

Woop Woop, just heard from my dealer. Their rep was there this weekend and told them they're getting a champ white. Just waiting for the allocation to pop up in the system this week!!

Wasn't excited....now I'm excited!!

Two separate dealers that I worked with pre-sold their units to friends of the owners. Two others refused to take deposits or reservations, but failed to mention this in any of the conversations that I had with them in the months ahead of the car's release. These experiences, combined with the markups, have been like a cold shower on my enthusiasm for the car, I won't lie. I still like it and perhaps one day I'll still buy one, but as of right now, I'm enjoying living vicariously through others.

Agreed. So far the only thing we have so far is some random Japanese guy on YouTube

After an estimated trade in the OTD would be 46k. Debating, but that is a lot to finance.
