The FL5 Dealer ADM Markup Thread

[TeslaHonda]

Do you work for CNN?

I’d have to see this to believe it.

Sounds very fake news-ish

don’t care what you believe frankly. I still have a dealer hounding me about a BB a few states away. It’s no secret that the most abundant colors are starting to sit more than usual.

Gonna happen when you produce 10x as many CW as the least produced color and on the down the line.

Plenty of people like BB, I'm not one of them. I think part of the reason that these cars sit, regardless of color, is that the many that want these cars are younger people. Not many young people can afford $50k for a car. Just because someone can make a car payment, doesn't necessarily mean they can afford the car. If someone gave me $5k off on a BB, I would seriously consider it. Another reason is that the many people don't like manuals. We are doing our part to save the manuals. And for anyone paying for items like LoJack see pic.

Was unlucky with my '23 CBP when I got rear ended and suffered structural damage. Sold it shortly after while values were still obscenely high. It's been impossible to find another CBP locally, in the Chicagoland/Wisconsin area. Even worse, all the comments seem to indicate red/black are not only retaining MSRP status but surpassing it, unlike the other colors. Was offered $1,500 off SGP but can't do any other color but Black.

At this point, should I just wait for '26 refresh? '25 inventory still ramping up for the new year?

What '26 refresh?

 

[S2k]

Allegedly ?

Getting fairly late in the game and we still have zero info from Honda on the 2026 or whether there will even be one. Can always wait another month or two and see if any news materializes.

I imagine there will be a 2026 otherwise an unusually short production run — Honda ramped up production given FL5 demand/success.

It's possible. At launch there were statements made indicating that this might only be a three year run. Lots of data out there supporting both sides of the argument.

I would surmise that if we don't hear anything by the Spring, then it is likely a wrap. Should be interesting either way though.

For sure, I remember reading that too. Historically though they tend to release limited edition colors/models in the final years, leading me to believe we're closer to a mid-cycle refresh than end of production.

if they say there will be more years then people might not be in as a rush to buy a FL5 and prices could dip.

if they say this is the last year now then dealers are going to hit everyone with adm.

by not saying anything, prices aren’t dropping to much or skyrocketing and it seems people are still steadily buying them.

in saying that, I doubt we will hear any updates till summer

There will be a MY26 FL5, MY27 I have to confirm but I don't see why there wouldn't be. 2027 would be the final model year since the 12th Gen civic comes out after that. Contrary to what some might see or believe online, FL5s are selling well even with dealer markups.

That's been my understanding, too. Civic just had a minor facelift, so theoretically '26 should see some changes.

No changes/updates for the FL5 until they release the LE model. If they even decide to move forward on doing it.

If that's the case I'll start searching — but finding a CBP is a pita. Thanks, man.
