I'm new to this forum and here is my quick purchase story. For the last couple of weeks I was encouraging a friend to purchase a Type R over options such as the GR Corolla. The more I thought about the CTR, the more interested I became in purchasing one for myself. The same friend mentioned that Honda World Downey was selling with fewer accessories and a lower markup. I reached out to them and negotiated a $1500 markup (which included the accessories). I was thinking, even if I find an MSRP dealership somewhere in the mid west, enclosed shipping will be $1500 or more. I accepted the offer and took a one hour flight down to Southern California and had a really fun 6-7 hour drive home on I-5.

I'd highly recommend Honda World Downey; Raul from sales was very honest and professional.

I'm getting front end PPF installed today, and after that, I'll really enjoy this new daily driver.

Congratulations! She’s a beauty and be ready to love it more and more every day. They really are a special well rounded car ????

You got a great deal for SoCal!

I picked up R #11422 last fall. Sold a 2001 E430 and 1972 280SE. I wanted to get back into a better daily that I can track. It was fun having a classic cruiser just not for me long term. It showed up VERY dirty and took quite a bit of work prior to PPF. 6k miles so far love it so much.

Wow... that was a sacrifice. Hope it didn't hurt too badly. You now have such a great car...but hope you will be happy enough to not regret. Yes, the versatility of the CTR is off the charts, so as a daily+track, you picked a good one!

Where do you park the horse and carriage? ?
Nice cars. Shame you had to replace it.

LOL I wanted to replace it. I like the experiences so every year or two I replace what I have. Although I think the R will last a while.

The Benz was fun but I was not equipped for working on it. And I live in a small metro and no one would touch it. That didn't help ?

I miss the looks it was a fun car to run errands in. But no car seats in back and just ok AC made it hard to drive in peak summer. Very reliable though which was surprising.

I also tell myself these cars will always be around. If I want one again I can buy it again. But maybe I'll wait until I have a 3 car garage ?

I guess with the older cars, you need to be able to work on it yourself if you want to keep it around. Which is a hard thing to do. Definitely can’t track that car.

Yea I did a fair bit but when you get into electronics or drivetrain it's a bit harder. It was fuel injected and computer controlled. Mercedes still make a lot of parts surprisingly. Either way I have always wanted a type r so here we are ?
