MY 2024 Civic Type R FL5 Shipments from Japan

[TheKrumpet]

I'll let you know when it leaves port.

Unit: 2620
Color: White
Vessel: Marvelous Ace
Port Arrival Date: 03/16/2024
Port Departure Date: Not Yet Departed
Carrier: BNSF
Railcar#: TBD
Rail Yard: Kansas City, MO
Allocated Dealer: Dealer#206952 ST. LOUIS HONDA, MO

You ever seen one take that long to leave the port? Looking through the thread most depart within a couple of weeks.

You think I should pull my deposit? There's some other dealerships near me that might swing MSRP with units on the lot.

Thanks!

Good news, it just departed port a couple hours ago. I’m not sure how long the journey is to the dealership. But to answer your question, yes, some sit at port for awhile for a multitude of reasons. Yours happen to be one of them at 23 days.

Some stats for nerds for all MY24 units arrived and departed port so far:

AvgLengthAtPortYard
00-07 days 1888 units
07-15 days 765 units
15-20 days 101 units
20+ days 209 units

Personally, I wouldn’t mind waiting for it if it’s a MSRP deal. I like vehicles fresh off of transport so that I have the chance to ask them to keep all the plastics on, no car wash, bare minimum PDI, etc.. basically as untouched as possible. That’s me though. If you don’t care about all that and don’t want to wait, it wouldn’t hurt to shop elsewhere and see how it goes.

I would pull my deposit if I could get a better deal. The fact that you have a deposit may work as a negotiation tactic to get below MSRP. “I have a deposit for an incoming vehicle at MSRP at another dealership; can you beat it?” It shows you’re serious and they might want to compete for your sale.

You are a hero. Really appreciate the data/info just to help out fellow enthusiasts.

I'll stick with my current deal.

I tried tossing around my MSRP deposit as leverage, but most of the other dealerships say "Buy from them then" LOL. Move $47k worth of inventory or make $51k after 3 months of sitting on the lot. I'll never understand it.

I also like your idea so I asked for the receiving dealership to try and leave as many plastics on as possible, not drill front plate holes, and not wash the car and they happily agreed.

Anyway thanks again for what you're doing for the community. Huge respect.

Good move. I bet those over-msrp dealers will come back to you in a couple weeks asking if you’re still interested. It’ll feel good to say “I already got one at MSRP.” Congrats! Glad I could help.

Hey I just shook hands with the dealer last week on a championship white Type R. They gave me an ETA of may 13-15th but I'm so excited that the wait is killing g me! Just wondering what the status is on 3112 to see if it might get here a little earlier than the expected date they gave me.

Update:
My 2024 CW CTR was scheduled for delivery May 6-10. It arrived yesterday April 24. I picked it up today and paid what the dealership promised. Can't recommend Dave Mungenast Honda in STL enough.

For reference my timeline was:
-VIN 2620 arrived at port 3/16
-deposit on built CTR with VIN 2620 4/8
-Left port 4/10
-Arrived in STL 4/24
-Purchased 4/25

Thanks roastduck for all the info.
