2023 Civic Type R Waitlist / Deposit / Reservations List - Check in here!

Red is going to be super hard to come by, Sonic gray will be easier to acquire if you wait. How soon would like the car? IF you don't mind waiting then wait. IF you see one on the street, all that waiting is going out the window I can tell you that much!

Don't go to the AHC Garage meet in Sawgrass this Sunday lol.

Yeah I've been crazy for one since I saw the one located at Honda of Aventura. The color was boost blue and I was like mehh, but the curves and everything was nasty!

Agree. I’d wait if you don’t “need” the car right away (since selling your Subbie). Check to see if they can trade with another dealership who has red or sgp? Or maybe you can help locate one for them to trade? I think if you do some of the leg work, that’d help matters in your favor. Another option is to take the car now, then trade it for the color you want 6-12 months later, when (hopefully) there are more on the market to choose from. Maybe even trade it back to your Honda dealership. They’d certainly appreciate that.

Dealer trades are out of the question unless he finds someone that has bought one in a color they dont want and are willing to trade before delivery. Otherwise, dealers will not trade the CTR.

So... The Honda dealer that I've purchased 2 vehicles from in the past and gotten 2 referred customers/family is willing to drop the ADM from $15K to $5K after "making my case to the GM". Its not the color that I want (red/sgp), but $5K. Its only like day 3 of searching for an FL5. You guys think I can wait longer and score the color I prefer?

If you have a color preference don't settle, ever. You're only setting yourself up for disappointment when you see the color you really wanted in person.

If you want SGP or RR I would wait. At this juncture RR is the rare FL5 color followed by CBP at 7% and 8%, respectively. While the numbers on those cars are low, that may work in your favor as those colors aren't as popular as the others. Small sample size on the forums but most people seem to want CW or BBP.

Quick question guys. 90% of the Type Rs in Florida on the MotorObsession site just disappeared. I was trying to post a markup at the dealer in Tampa.. And its not listed anymore. But the car is still available. What the heck?

Did a manual update... maybe the Honda website had a hiccup in returning Florida cars. do you see it now?

Does Honda produce the same number of each color or are white and BB going to be the 2 primary colors with 2-3x of the cars being those colors over the others?

Nope, the colors with an upcharge are being produced in higher numbers than CBP and RR (greater profit margin at no extra cost.) Correct ,, CW & BBP are going to be the highest produced colors. This decision was based on the success of these colors on the FK8, as soon as BBP and SGP were offered for the FK8, they had the shortest sell-through time of all the colors.

45k markup here in AZ at one dealership

 

[ldentikit]

At this point unless one falls into my lap I’m thinking of just waiting until the 2024 model. Reading through the “rattles, creaks, squeaks” thread makes me think there’s a lot that can be improved upon.

$45,000 ADM?!?
Did you mean $4.5k ($4,500)? If so, someone ought to jump on that.

I would dissuade you from thinking all will be resolved in the next MY or the MY after that. You will potentially deal with rattles, creaks, and squeaks irrespective of MY or even brand for that matter. I've experienced rattles, creaks, and squeaks in mundane commuter cars that cost just over $20K and luxury or sports cars that cost well over $100K.

FWIW, nothing to report so far on my FL5. I don't have enough miles on it to serve as a legitimate data point but I'll be sure to contribute to the thread if something comes up.

Yeah I’m sure it’s to be expected to some degree with most every car but supposedly there’s talk of recalls happening in the near future.

Also, the infotainment center seems to have a number of problems which for me might be an even bigger issue than the rattles and squeaks. I have little patience for laggy and faulty electronics.

 

[TypeRD]

I agree with @Clark_Kent . I wouldn’t let minor, fixable, squeaks and rattles, posted by a relatively small number of people, dissuade you from getting a car.

What’s funny and weird to me are the folks still badly wanting a Ford Focus RS, despite the known issue that it blows head gaskets! ? Stuff like THAT should dissuade you from buying a performance car.

I would expect there to be firmware updates to address the infotainment system problems. Note, I have had zero issues so far, but also need more driving time. I’ll post at the first sign of a problem.
