Just got a CW one on Friday for MSRP. Wanted to share my experience for those still shopping around, while my experience could be purely luck.
I had visited 2 dealers in person, one was advertising 10k mark up, while the other I had contacted via email and didn't seem interested in selling at...
I'm considering removing the Civic emblem, and replacing the Type R emblem with the sticker that was used on the DC2 Integra/another Type R, just haven't looked around much and see if sizes vary or not. I just personally don't like badges.
A $50k civic. It’s more noticeable in person vs the pic.
But yea, I might have posted this without giving it much thought as I was excited to find a CTR at msrp that wasn’t 4hrs away. Actually, the dealer has it listed at 57k. I only went there to show my wife the car to try and convince her...
Finally found a dealer willing to knock off mark up, however I noticed the alignment of fromt bumper looked slightly off. Wanted to get opinions of other owners here to see if perhaps this was a somewhat common for the CTR. If this were a Tesla I wouldn’t be concerned. Drivers side looks fine...
To save time for some folks who are searching in the DMV area, these dealerships told me today they will not sell at msrp:
Bill Page Honda of Falls Church VA. (4900 mark up + other fees)
Jim Coleman Honda of Clarksville, MD (uknown mark up)
Honda of Greenbelt, MD
Not Honda Sport of Silver Spring. Went there yesterday to look at this one. While I didn't try to negotiate, I asked the salesman if it was MSRP or markup. He laughed, said it was 8k markup...followed by "cmon bro, you know how it is. I'm sure you did research on this." So I just said no...
