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

[cmarsh02]

Acura dealer in Kansas City is selling an Integra Type S for sticker. In May they were asking 5k over and I told them I was not interested. I had a CTR on order as well and ended up with a BB last month for 2k over. Acura dealer emailed me this morning saying they were down to sticker plus $650 in options.

Alabama - a friend owns a business in Alabama and has purchased 10-12 cars from one dealership. He got their first FL5 for $2k over and I got their second one. I don't believe they have received their third one yet but based on what they told me when I picked mine up last month when they do get their next one they will be trying to sell it for 10-15 over.

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.

How does one reserve a car if they don't do waitlists? They are inconsistent IME, and this is what I mean by that. I "reserved" their "first" FL5 a long time ago (according to them). Then they sell their first two to employees, which was never communicated to me. Now they have sold their third to someone else who has it reserved, despite not taking reservations/deposits/waitlists. I reach out to them and they don't respond to emails. And this is the supposed best Honda dealer in KC. Doesn't say much for buying a Honda around here.

Unfortunately, you are no longer buying a Honda when you’re buying a type R. You’re buying an extremely limited performance car. I NEARLY walked away over the dealerships and getting fed a BS sandwich.

Does anybody know how long it takes a car from the shipping yard to reach a destination after saying it’s in transit? Asking from California to Seattle. Only asking cuz I’m going to be outta country on Friday to end of the month and would hope it gets here before then?

That is loaded question.

1. It can stay at the loading yard until the needed amount of cars is needed before loading on to the next phase.
2. The truck or train taking your car to SEA can vary with time and days.
3. Until you have a lock down date of when it is coming to you, It will vary.

I was in a similar situation when I got mine, but I only started to track days after the car is listed as "On-site" on https://www.motoringobsession.com/stock/civic-type-r. Asked my salesman and he said it's still on its way and sent me a tracker screenshot. Around 4 days later they told me it's been PDI'd and ready for pickup. From that screenshot it also looked like it came from Cali.

Morning Gents, if you’re in Florida, now’s a good time to go Type R shopping. A few dealerships have at least 2 or 3 on the ground l. Brahman has the only RR available for sale at the moment.

It’s not in my best interest to give clients options outside of my dealership but I wanna see you guys get the cars you’ve wanted.

Are they still adding a markup though? For me, on the left coast, I have to factor in transport so if I buy from an east coast dealer, its gotta be MSRP for me to pull the trigger.

Still being marked up at most places, these cars will always be marked up unless it’s a dealership that exclusively does MSRP or they have 2 many of them collecting dust for extended periods

Sounds accurate to me. I used to live in northeast KS. Jay Wolfe is especially awful and had a class action lawsuit against them a few years after I moved away. Look it up. I don’t know what their problem is, but they and other dealerships in KC are super arrogant in my experience. KC is a nice place, but it’s not Beverly Hills!

I firmly believe that the current markup on these cars won't last indefinitely. While many cars are marked up now due to the hype, this will eventually taper off. With the 2024 model already confirmed, it's likely to be more accessible than the 2023 model. This trend will continue with subsequent models like the 2025 and beyond. Manufacturers will capitalize on this car's popularity as much as they can, especially before transitioning to a hybrid Type R. Notably, there's no evidence of a production slowdown. Take the G80 M3 as an example: BMW has extended its lifecycle beyond the usual duration. I predict a similar strategy for the current FL5 Type R. While this might be an unpopular opinion in some circles, I genuinely believe the manufacturers will optimize this car's potential. As time goes on, markups will diminish. Although some dealers might always charge a premium, securing one at a fair price will become increasingly feasible.

 

[TypeRD]

@007 Yes, supply and demand makes sense. I agree the markups should continue to taper down, assuming there’s no production problems.

I also think @AspecR is right that the FL5 is likely to always have a markup of some sort (in most scenarios). The simple reason being : There are always buyers who want these particular cars brand new. We all know the reason for that. Those who don’t mind buying used will get the most bang for their buck as used car prices shouldn’t continue their currently inflated prices. It’s insane to me that used FK8’s with like 10k miles on their odometer are selling for higher prices than new. This just shouldn’t happen, not with “normal” production vehicles under “normal” circumstances…yet, here we are.

I guess what I’m getting at, which many have been saying, is : If the car is available and the terms are agreeable to you, then buy it and enjoy. Yeah, you could wait and possibly get a better deal…but then again, maybe not. As ADMs taper down, more buyers will show up, especially if we assume that the economy will improve over the next few years.
