What did you pay for your FL5?

[TypeRGirl]

Just drove mine home last week, sonic grey pearl Initially they wanted $15k markup, a week later $7500. I negotiated down to $6250 (even though I wanted 5k max) I just couldn’t walk away because I really wanted the sgp. No forced add on accessories neither.

I also traded in my sgp ‘22 Si for a pretty penny. It was an in your face last minute trade bc we pulled up in the car wo them knowing, then “out of curiosity” asked what they would give us (with only 8100 miles) They offered 26k, we laughed and said no we’ll just drive both cars home. They countered with 29.5k. So with the tax credit included, it came out to 31.5k for trade in ? That Si was sold off the lot the very next day!

Manly Honda in Santa Rosa, CA sold me their Type R for $5,000 ADM and no other mandatory accessories. It's the lowest I've seen in California so far. Everything around me is in the $15k-$25k ADM range...feeling very blessed right now!! ?

Boost Blue! It took me forever to settle on a color. And for me, color is probably the most important factor.

I posted in the new deliveries thread here: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/post-your-fl5-civic-type-r-delivery-pics-🙌-📸.51186/post-857072

When the car was first announced, I wanted CW. But after seeing more pictures, it seemed kind of bland. So I switched to RR, because it looks so aggressive and great. But then I felt like there was just too much red overall. SGP looks amazing in person, but I felt it was a little boring, since my previous car was also gray. So I finally decided that Boost Blue was the perfect blend of both worlds - it really pops in person, and also contrasts nicely with all the red in the car.

I guess that is just proof that you really can't go wrong with any color on the FL5 - they all look awesome. Except black

I’d love to see a black in person.

I own a CW and a CBP. I love the tradition of CW, but I can’t lie that the black looks amazing. The contrast with the red is striking.

No car looks as good as a clean black, and no car looks as bad as a dirty black ?

$8k but I got all of these goodies! /s

Cargo tray
All weather mats
Light up doorsills (on order)
plus their garbage paint & wheel protection plans

Props to @dng for his site which I was able to use to find #3177

BB is super nice, I dig those types of blue. CW was my first choice since it's one of the two original colors to me from the US ITR. Never had a "white" car before (it's cream y'all).

Good to hear you made out well in Cali. I'm in Cali too and never really tried looking in Cali due to adm but this gives me hope. Thanks for the feedback on the ctr tracker pages as well, thoss come in handy ?

Maybe I'm blanking on this one but what is the second color?

Phoenix Yellow maybe? That color was awesome!

Got it. I misinterpreted your initial statement. Phoenix Yellow is definitely a classic. IIRC, it was only offered in the last two years of production (2000 and 2001).

 

[Icehawk]

Yes, yellow - it's certainly memorable and one of the two I think of when I generically think to myself "Type R". I think Black and Red were available too, maybe Silver? I'm definitely not an encyclopedia of this stuff

Not sure how yellow would look on a FL5 though...

 

[CWNole95]

The ITR was originally offered in Championship White here in the US, in 97 and 98 model years. It was offered as a 2000 model year in Phoenix Yellow or Flamenco Black Pearl, and as a 2001 model year in Phoenix Yellow or Nighthawk Black Pearl. The ITR was not offered as a 99 model here, and it was never available in red or silver in the US.

The 97 is the rarest of all, as Honda made just more than 300 of them, total.

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve owned each and kept none, sadly.

Agree. Championship White and Phoenix Yellow (or Sunlight depending on the market) are the colors that come to mind when I think of the classic ITR colors.
