Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Negitoro7]

I thought so too, that’s why the deal almost went off. Hats off to him for making it possible!

I believe it doesnt come with the all weather ones. I already ordered a Tuxmat too so yeah.

Dealership is in Alberta (St. Albert Honda). I’m next to get one luckily this deal came in. btw, if anyone would be interested. I’ll be pulling my #1 list on St. Albert AB and #3 list on Pacific Honda BC early 2024. Though I wouldn’t recommend them myself.

Happy for you man, enjoy! (When it arrives)

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share the news, I’m proudly to say that I now own a 2024 MY Honda Civic Type R (CW)!

I would like to give thanks to @onepointsix for sharing the for sale post in Castlegar, BC. Because of this post @Apex Carver (I’m forever thankful and grateful!) was able to contact me and share the slot to me!

It has been a really really rough year for me/family and I can’t thank you guys enough for turning it back around! I owe you guys.

Also thank you everyone here in the group for all the assistance. It helped alot! Again, I appreciate you guys!!

PS: The car won’t be here until 2nd week of January as it will be delivered from Castlegar to LM.

that's amazing news congrats ...i have also tried to give leads on since allocation a year ago but i hope everyone that's still waiting gets one soon

Congrats man, is ur sales named Connor? I was talking to him for the whole week asking if your deal went through, he said he will let me know if something comes available. In the end, he was able to put me down on the list for his next allotment with a deposit and car will be here in 2-3 years he said.

Congrats again and enjoy the car.

If someone is interested, Penticton Honda in BC is still taking deposit (asked last Thursday. They are the one who wants 5k). Will be 3rd in line with no guarantee timeline and msrp + applicable dealer fees. Don’t want to hold up that much $ so I go with another dealer.

The deal tbh at first was a mess! Lol
2-3 sales were contacting me (long story). But in the end I was transferred to Connor, yes he’s the one who drove from Castlegar to LM! Haha

Thank you! I see you’re from LM/Vancouver area too. I know it’s hard to look for allocation rn, but you’re in the right track! Just be active in this group and keep checking cargurus. Good luck!

again, thank you so much everyone! Looking forward to meeting you guys someday.

Southern Ontarian here and here is my story.

i bought an FK8 in 2020 and absolutely loved it, waited 6 months for the car but when I got the call from the dealership I was definitely stoked. Fast forward to may 2022 and I’m going out one night for a drive and the car was gone. My baby stolen from me.

January 2023 rolls around and I’m hearing stories about how long ppl are waiting, I needed a car right away so I ended up purchasing a used Focus RS. Great car, but not scratching that same itch that the type R did. I’m now realizing I want to get on the hunt for a new FL5.

anyone got any tips for someone getting into the game now? Willing to wait it out in the RS until spring/summer 2024 is this realistic for delivery? Looking to put a deposit on one what’s the best strategy in terms of finding a dealer and getting one to work with me on securing one?

Also, what are wait times looking like on a new type S?
thanks guys

Hey, Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear that about your FK8. I believe it’s still possible to get FL5 without allocation, you will need to double your time and effort tho.

1. I’d suggest to start calling from your nearest dealership to the farthest you are willing to go (even across province if you’ll ask me). Why? Because wayback when the start of news regarding small allocation of FL5s here in Canada started, lots of small dealership didn’t took reservations for it but randomly received an allocation.

2. Be active here in the group and car websites. With luck and perfect timing, you might struck a good deal from a cancelled allocations (like me).

3. Anything is possible if budget is unstoppable! Talked to a guy 4 days ago where it only took him a day to find a BN 24 MY allocation that’s coming this January. The price is 70 + Tax tho.

Good luck!

I might be wrong on this, but it looks like the SGP I posted in Prince George BC might be back on the market. It's back on Car Gurus. Any takers?

Isn't that the dealer that will only sell locally? I might have it mixed up with another in BC.

I believe you are right, I called them before. But if it’s available again, there’s no harm asking/calling. Go for it lol!

Am i crazy but looking at the pictures at the one in Prince Geroge, it appears that it has homelink on the mirror?

Ran the carfax on that vin and it doesn't show any registration on it yet in any province. Must be available.

 

[onepointsix]

I posted that up a while ago and it was reposted just recently, so I assume something fell through. For those that can get it, go for it!

This one also doesn't show any registration in any province as well. But all the way in Nova Scotia.

I’m hoping to pick that up in the next 2 weeks. Just waiting for winter wheels/tires to arrive
