M340i is not special in feel or dynamics plus it depreciates quickly. You made a good choice.

When/if I lock it up I'll give the exact details if it actually exist, but it's in New England and has a very low ADM so I rather not give it out just yet. The last dealer I thought I had a MSRP deal with until people starting calling and offering 5k,7500 and up. But the last time when you ran the report for the area it didn't show up on your list a few days ago. So not sure what to think. It's like they were told they were getting one and thats all the info they got?

A dealer can hide what is incoming.

Mine has never made the list. It is now hidden, so it will never show.

You don’t have to say it here. A dealer can remove it from their inventory when a car is sold. So it could be hidden

Not to mention after you factor the cost of ownership in the CTR is much, much cheaper.

Any Indiana people get their car yet? Dealer I have my deposit at has only had one come in so far and they called me when it did to look at it up close. It was Boost Blue and I was not going to take that color.

Fletcher Honda in Bentonville has a CW that has been in transit for a while. The sales man texted me saying that the guys who had a deposit on it backed out since it was taking too long. When I talked to then they were asking 8k over.

Winter Haven Honda, Honda of Bay County, Autonation Clearwater has one, but I haven't spoken to them yet. Haven't finalized anything with either, still going back forth on markup and trade value.

CW from Winter Haven should be here this week, In AL as of Monday. They should have one more coming in Boost Blue but I'm not sure what the Markup on that will be. I've bought several vehicles from them so the salesman told me that Boost Blue was going to be much more expensive as they purchased another dealer's allocation. They have an 8k markup on the CW. It's unfortunate, but that's what the salesman told me last June when this car was just a whisper so I already knew what I was getting into.

Yup markup is 8k when I spoke to them as well. 8K is on the lower end of markups so don't feel bad about it.

Definitely not as bad as some that I've seen. I'm fairly certain they had to pay a premium for the Boost Blue. I'll have to ask him what they sell that one for. Not sure when that will even come in. He expected April for the CW, but text me Monday that it was coming a lot earlier. Hopefully that's a good sign for production. I appreciate the response!

Shenango Honda in Hermitage, PA had a Rally Red in transit for 8K over when I spoke to them about 10 days ago.

Couldn't get them down to 5k which is the most I'm trying to spend but maybe somebody else will have better luck.Would have mentioned it earlier but I was still talking with sales early last week.

Just locked up JHMFL5G43PX000923 which is CW, I wanted that or BB.

Thanks to @dng for his map which I used to call dealers all over. Can't wait to get the call to fly out to pick her up.

Trying to decide if I want brushed or polished Titanium OEM knob, figure that will be the first "mod".

Hi - I'm new here, so please forgive if I say something out of line.

We recently looked at a 2023 CTR in a dealer showroom, and something came up that impacts all car purchases, so I wanted to get your opinions, please. Like so many of you, this dealer was requiring a paint protection package. The one they were requiring used both an internal and external process. We read up on it online, and some people were saying that it shouldn't be applied-- that it was either unhealthy inside due to out-gassing, or that it could damage the paint externally.

So, REGARDLESS of the fact that we all know it's a way for the dealers to tack on extra charges...
Do you experienced people on here have any knowledge of whether the process (inside or out) is a good or bad thing? Do you get it or refuse it, if you have the choice?

Thank you!

Hey, I'd be happy to clear that up for you. Paint protection packages are a way for dealers to over-charge you for something that does next to nothing. In most cases, it's really just a cheap wax applied to the car when it gets washed. The problem is most dealership detail departments don't even apply it properly so that's when it can become an issue. They tend to add scratches and micro swirls to the paint when they really didn't have to because of their poor application techniques used (My dealership included).

It's best really to not have them wash the car at all and then you go ahead and get it detailed properly. At least when you tell them don't wash the car you can haggle with them about charging you for the paint package since it wouldn't get applied in the first place. Some dealerships won't play ball though, especially on a car with high demand like the CTR.

Wow, thank you so much! That was an excellent explanation, and it really helped.

Great forum

Here in Illinois, there have been at least 2 dealers that didn't sell their CTRs right away, but ended up with the cars in their showrooms. I visited one of them (they had a CW). I don't know if they mark up so much with a partial intent to be able to show off the cars... or if they think a large metro area has enough people with money that they believe they can get those numbers.

But, for those who are thinking they might do better by going in person... i can tell you that i was there in person, and they wouldn't bring it down with me standing right there. If they want to sell, I am thinking they will at least start the conversation on the phone. Everyone who tried to work with me did give me answers on the phone.

Now, what they WERE willing to do was to add in some really nice extra accessories... but, it wasn't going to ease the huge markup for financing (which i would need).
