Norm Reeves Honda Cerritos. They have 6 CW and 3 Black left. Mines is the far left 1st one. Susanna from sales helped me a lot without too much haggling and negotiating.

One of the larger Honda dealers in SoCal. Congrats

WTF! How did they get so many CTRs!? Must be a huge volume dealer (or they have just been sitting on these things for months). Out in TN you might see a dealer with two on the lot at any one time, but typically only one (or more likely, zero).

Yea Cerritos is one of, if the not the biggest dealer in the US. Funny, they wouldn't even budge and match the offer of another local dealer last year. Now they're selling practically for MSRP.

Man, seeing so many all parked next to each other makes the car almost look plain....

I was able to snag a 2024 boost blue at the end of this past March for $800 under MSRP (no dealer add-ons aside from doc fees). The dealership (supposedly) had a number of sales fall through and seemed very motivated to get it off their lot before the beginning of April. I made an aggressive offer and they took it.

That's amazing you got it UNDER msrp! Must have been sitting for a long time.

Yea, it was surreal to see so many CTR's ready to be sold. They were kept in a warehouse off the lot. Wondered why they don't put one on the showroom floor to promote sales.

Again, if the dealership is to be believed, it was sitting about 80 days on the lot and five 'near' sales had fallen through. Apparently one guy who put down a deposit showed up to finalize the sale and his wife (seeing the car for the first time) said "We are not buying that car". Another guy that put down a deposit never showed up to close the deal. The sales guys I spoke with implied that the boost blue was a polarizing color and that a CW would not have lasted long. We had only gone to the lot to check out a CRV-Hybrid - and we weren't planning on buying until the summer. When we saw the Type R in the showroom my wife said that it was beautiful and that she wanted it. Made sure there was enough legroom for our kids or adults that have to sit in the back, confirmed the hatch had ample space, and took it for a test drive. They called us a day later and we made a very aggressive offer - which they took. I think it helped that it was three days before month end.

Was the CRV hybrid for you or your wife?

It would have been my wife's daily driver and our club-soccer hauler. The CTR is now her daily driver (although she lets me drive it quite a bit) and our 2018 Accord has become the club-soccer hauler.

That's pretty cool! I assume you drive the Accord?

Wish my wife would drive a fun car I could borrow from time to time. She drives an Ascent instead and that's our family hauler.

Yep. The Accord is mine - 2.0T Sport 6-speed MT - most fun you can have in a spacious family sedan. It used to be the fun car. It is still great to drive and has some cavernous interior space (awesome for road trips) - but it can't compare to the fun of the CTR.

Do you guys think under MSRP will be more prevalent in normal market demand areas?

I have been waiting for a nearby MSRP dealer to call me when they have a white one incoming. In the meantime, another dealer that said they would not budge off $3k ADM will now sell at MSRP.

Just bought one w/o check here, looks like mine is not a good price.
$51.7k OTD in NJ, 6.625% tax.
$799 doc fee, $7.5 tire tax, $376.5 registration. Based on these numbers, I paid $1033.19 over sticker price.
I used 2 days to briefly talk to 3 dealers and made the purchase.
