Mats are sold.

ATS module is sold. Mats are still available, and the price has been reduced.

$125 plus shipping for the full set of four floormats. Never installed, never removed from their plastic covering. Local pickup available in Sacramento, Ca. area.

Yep, Carmax is giving me $45K. I want just a bit more, but if no one here bites by the 7th I’ll take the Carmax offer and run.

I absolutely do love the car. As you are well aware, I often think it's borderline magical. Anyway, my wrecked back happened. My fixed disability income combined with rampant inflation happened. This is nothing new for me. Stage IV-A cancer, crash-related cervical reconstructions, and the...

This bone stock, 2024 Boost Blue Pearl FL5 comes with both the Type R and Type S ADS suspension modules. It also has the OEM accessories black extended floormats and Type R all-weather trunk mat to go with the original set of red floormats, which were never installed and never removed from their...

TchnoZ33, regarding the tax issue, what you're describing doesn't apply to California. We get royally screwed there. Even with the trade equity applied there in the dealership, we still have to pay the full sales tax based on the selling price. California, Virginia, and Hawaii are the only three...

I've already stated that I know I have to pay to play. If I want a sportscar, the running costs will be higher. I've stated plainly that I accept this fact. Additionally, having owned both the Type R and Camry hybrid, as well as the ND2 Miatas, I am obviously well aware of the driving...

It would seem so, wouldn't it? If nothing else, it makes for an interersting case study. Without knowing the number I'd get for selling mine, it makes it difficult to compare costs. For the purposes of this exercise, let's go with Carmax's last offer of $45K. I figure that's pretty much what I...

qingcong, yes, switching cars does cost a lot of money. Unlesss we're talking about a Ferrari or a GT3 or something, we almost always lose the tax and license twice, at a bare minimum, and there is usually a decent loss on depreciation. Maybe the depreciation isnt as bad with an FL5, I don't...

RacingManiac, thanks for the info.

How long did your original tires and brakes last, using it that way?

Nothing, thankfully the FL5 is relatively free of the overabundance of electronic nonsense that is ruining so many modern cars. By current standards, the FL5 is a fairly bare bones car. It still uses switches and dials instead of capacitive touch garbage, there is basically zero piano black in...

Can't disagree with you on a single point there, and I've owned three Miatas, including two ND2s. I just came out of a 2023 GT soft top manual (and a '23 Camry hybrid) to get into this FL5, so I'm well up to speed on the cost differences between these cars. I'll always want a Miata. If you like...

That made me chuckle. My mom grew up in Cleveland. She hated Ohio weather. Couldn't stand it.

The standard manufacturer's warranty is 3/36 comprehensive, and 5/60 for the powertrain. So, assuming svvich's extended warranty includes the powertain, an 8/120 warranty adds 5/84 to the comprehensive, and 3/60 to the powertrain. That's dirt cheap.

I looked up Hyannis Honda. They're in Massachusetts. I'd need to check whether they sell those warranties for a vehicle registered in Calfornia, and also whether my local dealers honor that warranty. When I bought my car, the extended warranties offered to me were at least three times more...

Never heard of Hyannis Honda, but at those numbers that's not a bad idea. Most 8 years/120K extended warranties cost a lot more than a grand.

Absolutely. I'd like more, to be honest. Bump that 7K redline to a minimum 7,500. Give us a bit more of a top-end rush, and this motor would be perfect.

svvitch, I'm well aware of the money aspect. My question has to do with the projected longevity of the motor. I know the FL5's standard running costs will be higher, but what I don't know is whether this motor in this state of tune has proven to be Honda reliable over the long haul. That's what...
