I won't pay over MSRP on principle, and I'm happy I didn't because they're not too hard to find at MSRP now. I paid cash so rates don't matter to me, and if I had paid over I'd have spent $5-10K extra for literally nothing except getting my car a few months sooner. I drove an RS3 for those six...
Oregon dealers suck so much.
Norm Reeves in TX just offered me their 2023 SGP for MSRP + $2,000 in accessories + shipping if that's interesting to you (or anyone else in the thread).
But yeah feel free to DM me anytime! Happy to help if I can.
I bought one at MSRP in OK and shipping it to OR!
I'd definitely recommend looking out of state for those of us on the West Coast — this makes two this month in the middle of the country that I've been able to buy for MSRP (passed the first on to a member here and then regretted it so I bought...
Also, completely anecdotal but between yesterday + today, 9 different dealers have contacted me asking if I’m still interested in a Type R. Prior to this I would maybe get 1 every two weeks or so checking in.
I disagree with your read on the supply of these cars. There are a lot of 2024s on the way and people are finally starting to sell used examples. As supply increases prices will decrease — and Honda is making a lot of them. Of course many dealers who get 2024s will start with an optimistic...
This has happened to me too many times. Now I don’t leave the house until we agree on a price. If a dealer won’t be upfront they’re going to try to screw you.
Honestly I think they're both great in different ways. A car is such a personal thing because everyone has different needs. Like, it's fun to drive an amazing manual transmission and it's fun to obliterate literally every car at a stoplight. I think it's cool to appreciate what's special about...
2023 Sonic Grey Pearl available at Ed Martin Honda in Indiana for MSRP — no bullshit or accessories. Ask for Scott Miller. I decided to keep my RS3 :)
Total for everything not including tax (I live in OR where there is no sales tax) was $48,149. Car + markup was $47,845, doc fee was $85, government license fee was $219.
I’m not sure if there are additional fees (besides sales tax) for in-state buyers — I’m guessing at least registration as I...
Just FYI I don’t get anything if you mention me! So it’s up to you. I more just wanted him to know that I appreciated him being easy to work with (in a sea of awful Honda dealers) and so I made a couple posts to spread the word about the deal.
Hope it works out for you, though! Hopefully it’ll...
Boost Blue in CA for $2.5K over at Freeway Honda if you buy before the 30th. I passed because I decided I really want grey or maybe white — otherwise I would've bought it myself. Ask for Patrick or text him at 904-652-9071. No added accessories or weird fees from what I could see, and he seems...
If you’re able to have two cars then Miata + daily definitely seems like the way to go. I’d rather only own one which is why I have an RS3 and why I’m interested in the FL5… but I still do find myself thinking maybe I should just get a Miata.
