You’re hearing it from someone who has driven the FK8 for 55k or so miles. The Miata is the better sports car in my opinion. But that doesn’t detract from the Type R’s merits and what makes it valuable - they’re very different. But what’s more rewarding? To me it’s the Miata. The Type R’a reward for $36k used to be nice, but even that isn’t more rewarding than a Miata. The Miata’s value falls apart if it’s your only car and it’s your grocery getter. The Type R is the best do it all one-car for an enthusiast. But if you own more than one? I can’t see myself getting a FWD econobox turned performance car, than a sports car built as such from the grounds up and the Miata is the best value for that.

ND miata would be a great car except that its manual transmission is flawed. many 2022 and 2023 6 spd are failing. mine failed at 11k mi. so here i am looking into a FL5. hopefully FL5 manual is better built.

My sales guy hooked me up. Was 2K over MSRP but when I picked the car up, he charged me MSRP. I purchased 3 cars from him just this year 20 total in the last 10 years so Im a good customer

Congrats!!! Thats 3 SGPs bought in a row! ?
This might come as a shocker, but this is my FIRST Honda, ever. Well, technically its the wife's car. Her very first car was a 93 Civic so she's back to her roots! Since I bought it for her as an early Christmas gift, I'll "borrow" it once in awhile when I wanna attack the backroads or the mountains as a change of pace instead of my M3 or R8. I think the FL5 is an absolute hoot to drive in anger. Best handling FWD car by a country mile, and I've driven my fair share.

Passing along info during my search.

Honda of Santa Maria, CA has a '23 boost blue. Sounds like they are willing to deal on it for anyone in the area looking for boost blue. I suspect you can get it for MSRP + ~$1,500. I have been dealing with Christopher Chen. Never stepped foot into this dealership so buyer beware.

I'm looking for Championship White.......search continues

Warms my heart to hear the ADM are dropping. MSRP is sounding like a reality next year.

Picked up a Sonic Gray Pearl today for $3k over here in California. They threw in 2 sets of floor mats(all season and red Type R mats) and wheel locks. Pretty straight forward deal. I've never had such a seamless transaction at a dealership.
I opted for 4 yrs of Honda Care just to make it easy for oil changes and scheduled service.
I figure since 2024 MSRP will increase another $1k, it was a good time to scoop up a late model 2023. This dealer wanted $10k over less than a month ago.

That's awesome! Do you mind me asking which dealership? I've been looking since September and the lowest I can find is 5k over. Thanks!

14k on my 2022 and it’s as perfect as it can be. I do have around 1 Million Miles of manual transmission driving experience. I don’t see it failing me, driving stick involves way more than clutch and shift - the timing, the finesse, the road conditions all affect shift quality.

Just a handful of Type R’s by me in a 50 mile radius. Seems less now than a few months back.

Probably because the 2023s stopped and now the 2024s are starting to come in. Once the 2024s start ramping up there'll probably be as many as there were before.

I hope Colorado actually gets some damn Type Rs seems like here we're lucky if a dealer gets one or two

Gresham Honda/Tonkin followed up with me today they have reduce ADM to $7k. I think a local could possibly get $3k or less for a in person easy deal. Peter Byun is who followed up with me straight shooter.

Honestly I hope no one buys it and it sits until they’re forced to do MSRP. PNW dealers need to come back down to earth.

Agree 2 weeks ago most were stuck 10-15k.

I wish, someone just bought a Boost Blue for $10k over MSRP here, made me die on the inside.

Paid 2k mark up for my CW FL5 on Black Friday. Ended up being 49.6 OTD with all weather mats, trunk mat and wheel locks. Also gave me 32,500 for my 24 Si which I had equity in, which was an over allowance for sure. So it was closer to MSRP.

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.

I'm not disappointed at all with the purchase with what I paid. With the over allowance on my trade its damn near MSRP and its a dealership I trust and are very transparent. I purchased my 2017 FK8 from them brand new for sticker. Also bought my 2008 Mugen Si well below sticker also brand new.
