Picked up my CW today at $5K over in NorCal.

Dealer said prices were settling around this $5K ADM - I think there may be even more downward movement in the next few months, but I was getting fatigued with the search.

Car feels so natural, fits like a glove for someone who wanted that JDM turbo experience. New car bubble also burst as there's clearly some rattle in the B pillar and got a tiny rock chip on way home. ?

Will look into PPF options here in the Bay Area - let me know if there's any recs out there!
Mr. Tint in San Jose, I did two cars there, including my FK8 and they were great.

After searching and checking Motoring Obsession nonstop for several months, surprisingly, I found the cheapest car in my backyard (Seattle, Wa.). I saw it in transport, made an offer, and got it for $53,334 out the door. Ceramic coating, theft protection, and all-season Type R mats added.

Congrats! Is that like a 5K markup? Less? I'm also looking in the PNW and will take any negotiation power I can get ?.

Thank you. Yes, it was. They started at $7500 over and would not go any lower than 5k.
Congrats, I think the FL5 looks best in black! Any trade in involved?

Sumner Honda wouldn’t budge off $8k adm even when I offered to finance it/Navy Fed pre approved or cash it out $4k over.

Thank you. No trade-in involved. Oh man, when I called them about their car, they told me 25k over. I asked if they were joking, and they told me they would just let the car sit.

Just under of a month searching. I was able to get my R for 49.6k OTD w/all weather mats and wheel locks.

This is my dealership I bought 63 cars prior too for the last 25 years. After everything, I paid a 2k mark up. I am good with that. To me I was ok with that little mark up since they loaded up in my trade. This deal originally started @ 15k mark up. Be patient people.

Best deal I found in Florida :)

Good deal man. This whole process has showed me that a lot of people got bent over by honda over these type r's. Glad to see that you weren't one of those people.

63 cars purchased with the dealer and you still paid a markup?! After all those vehicle purchases, which I'm sure some you traded back in, I'm disappointed to read this. Anyhow, congrats on the purchase and enjoy the car in good health.

These must really be sitting now. I keep having dealers call me trying to sell me on them, some are still asking 15-20K over. I just laugh and ask if they have their head in the sand as dealers are lucky to get 5K over now, most are selling close to MSRP.
