$6.5K ADM markup (included a few accessories). No trade-in. I'm located in Seattle and purchased from a Florida dealer so I also paid $1400 to transport it back. Arrived last week.

Just a few weeks ago no dealer in PNW wanted to deal. After mine arrived, I had a Washington dealer reach out willing to do $7K ADM. Probably would have gone that route if he reached out earlier.

P.S. I got a kick out of how the engine was built in Ohio, shipped to Japan for assembly, then the whole car is shipped to port in California, transported to dealer in Florida, and transported again to Pacific Northwest. Explains how dirty it was when I first laid eyes on it.

Did you do open transport? Last time I got a quote for east to Cali was around $2k+ for enclosed around begging of the year.

I did open transport. Told the dealer don't touch the car except throw the accessories in the trunk. Figure the car just landed at the dealer on an open transport anyway so no reason it can't hop straight onto another one.

+1. That's my thinking. Open transport makes sense with a reputable carrier. How do you think it got to the dealership? Not in an enclosed carrier.

Traded in 2021 CTR with 10k miles and with $5k Dealer markup with no accessories for a 2023 CW. Happy with the transaction.

Got mine for MSRP + $7K ADM in South Jersey, came with wheel locks and lifetime oil change package. Told them not to touch it so I had the pleasure of removing all the plastic and detailing it myself. Most places around here aren't budging for less than 10k and I've seen some sell for as much as 25K over.
Where in South Jersey? What dealership?

I also got mine from South Jersey. MSRP +$895 (Pro-Pack) + $950 (Door illumination) + $1595 (Wheel and Tire). Overall, MSRP + $3440. Not too shabby since I was getting anywhere from $10k to $25k ADM just from other NJ dealerships alone. Luckily found one at a dealership a few miles away from home.

Congrats! This is a very solid deal. I presume you could cancel the wheel and tire if you feel it will be of no use to you.

Apologies for the post above, misread this as the "What did you do to your FL5" topic. The price includes Gtechniq coating and "anti-theft code" (turns out to be VIN etching) for 5k, so total for the car is MSRP + 5K. I bought some other extended warranties including the wheel protection package.

Nice and congrats! I’m also in WA and the dealers i’ve went to so far were not budging on their market adjustments.

Def have to call around. Looking at the tracker there are dealers about to have 4-7 and the MY 24s are due within 2 months.
