East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

[AspecR]

My bad but I meant cars that had built date of 1/10 have eta 2/10 for Ohio one dealership and the other one that also has built date of 1/10 has eta for 2/23 but dealerships are only 20 min apart from each other. Seems weird. Aren't ETA's supposed to be same ?

Not necessarily, the 2/23 car could've arrived at the port later than the 2/10 car hence the difference in delivery dates. Plus there might not have been enough trucks to ensure all of that area is serviced at the same time. It's really a multitude of issues that can cause that discrepancy

Thanks AspecR. This makes sense but can't wait for my car to arrive. I believe these ETA's are cap because if you look at the Eta's states like FL, MA, SD, OH , NC, SC all have eta of 2/10 which is kinda sus lol

Most of the ETAs are garbage, add at least 2 weeks to the ETA and that’s if it has no issues

Would you mind giving me an update on VIN: JHMFL5G40PX001155

Stay away from Love Honda in Homosassa FL. They have an incoming white Type R and quoted me a price of $72k OTD. Very smug sales team.

No info for this VIN yet, which means it just came out of production

They locked this up so I can't see any info on it. It should have the same ETA as my car though so around 2/13-2/25

In your experience, what would the eta be?
Any chance it arrives this Friday or next?

Ok no problem, but just for the purposes of educating me what does locked up mean exactly?

Car has been removed from their inventory, because it's been sold so I can no longer track it. All updates and ETAs come from your dealership now.

Got it!!! Schooled. Thanks for all you've done for us !!

With the proposed 3 year run, seems likely we end up with less than 10,000 FL5’s in the US. Good news for some, bad news for others.

My guess is we’ll be closer to 6,000-8,000 cars.

I feel like so much about that number sucks.
Its cool for resale
but like what about parts in the long run, I know it shares the hatchback platform, but like what about Type R specific OEM parts long term?
Aftermarket would likely soley based out of japan which is $$$$
Idk just seems like such a missed opportunity to have the last ICE type R be as available as the FK8 was.
Also the more rare this car is, god forbid it gets stolen? makes the car into a target for vandals and thieves, kinda scary.
