Exaclty why is "out of state more"?...not in the market just curious....

We’re unable to provide after sales support like service, performance upgrades and parts to an out of state client.

I'm not sure where else this might belong, but for anyone waiting on a 2024 or 2025 FL5, I really hope that Smokey Mauve Pearl they just released for the 2024 EX-L and Touring Hatchback becomes a FL5 option, even if it's just a short run.

I know, I know, it's not likely... but for anyone who's a fan of unique colors, that's one for ya.

I doubt it’ll happen but purple on a Type R isn’t outside of the realm of possibility. The FD2 R Civic Type R was available in Premium Deep Violet Pearl for 2 years.

It looks like a big new shipment came in on Sunday and there are a bunch more in transit. Braman Honda in Miami looks like they have 10 Type R's coming in with Sunday's update! Multiple other dealers in Miami are getting multiple cars. There is also a big dealer in LA that is getting nine in this shipment! I don't understand how one dealer can get ten cars and Kansas City has had two in like the last 4 months across it's dealers. I'm sure there is some reason, but I don't know what it is. Is it shipping costs? Anyone know?

KCMO is a shitshow when it comes to getting a CTR.

We have one dealer that supposedly sells MSRP to locals (Olathe). I got on their list probably close to two years ago, was told I was first on the list, and have been ghosted ever since. I can't even get them to respond to an inquiry to see if an FL5 is available when the inventory map shows one incoming. Makes me think they just sell them to friends/family or something else strange is happening.

Then we have Jay Wolfe, who locks their FL5s behind a 20k markup. Couldn't give a damn about local buyers, just show up with a briefcase of cash. I bought new cars from them previously and will never throw them another dime.

The rest appear somewhere in between, but never seem to get an allocation.

Our experience with these dealers is consistent. I have talked with Olathe. Apparently the first 2 they received were purchased by employees and the third one that they currently have in transit is already sold to someone who had it reserved, but they don't do wait lists.

Jay Wolfe, who I have purchased a new Honda from, told me they would give me a special local/customer discount of a $15k ADM instead of their normal $20k. That car has been sitting at their dealer for a few months.

Other dealers in KC are no better. Either high ADMs or no wait-list process that would provide any assured path to get one. That on top of the fact that KC hardly gets any allocation. In all my years here I have only seen 2 driving around... both FK8s. I guess going to another city is the only option. How much is it to ship a car from Miami?

It’s is over one year I am waiting for my fl5 here in Canada, my first dealer screwed me, and now my new dealer has advised me I will get the car before April, but with no date insite, I have contacted customer relations at Honda Canada, and they did nothing for me, the situation in Canada is really disgusting how they don’t care about their customers at all.

I feel for our friends to the North, I really do. The situation in Canada sounds downright awful. I’ve asked this before and didn’t quite get a straight answer. What is required and what is the cost to buy an FL5 in the U.S. and import it into Canada? Any unintended consequences worth noting? Unless it’s incredibly price prohibitive, I would heavily pursue this route to secure a car. I get the sense a lot of the folks in Canada are getting jerked and will likely never see a car.

EDIT: I completely spaced. You'll get destroyed on the exchange rate. CAD isn't as strong as it once was. Perhaps importing an FL5 is still an option, but maybe not a good one.

I believe this was covered in the CAD tread, the tax and customs would make it completely undoable from a member who took a look to see.

It would push the car into levels of 100K USDM ?

I tried to buy a brand new car in the US. I called the dealership in Plattsburgh because it’s not far for me and they told me without a US residence and a US drivers license they cannot sell me the car because it’s considered exploitation

LOL yeah unfortunately, especially with the ADMs happening there. If I get desperate, maybe I'll head down to Florida and @AspecR can get me a good deal ?

That’s interesting. My Honda dealership with my CTR deposit mentioned that they get calls from the US for cars every month. Seems to be for the Si, but didn’t mention if he sold any to them.

I live in Kansas City and purchased my BB from a dealer in Alabama ($2,500 markup). Picked it up last month. I had purchased a Honda from both Tiffany Springs and Jay Wolfe in the past - did not matter to them. Good luck.

I wonder if these new allocations are MY24

10th character is still 'P' so they are MY23
