In retrospect, it was worth the wait. However, the wait would have been much easier to cope with had the dealership and/or Honda simply better communicated. The stress of not knowing is what caused so much frustration, and worse were the dealer’s missed delivery dates. It was like a roller...

Picked up my Type R this afternoon - MSRP + $5k. I had forgotten how long it takes to buy a car. Was at the dealership from 3:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. signing paper work, title stuff, changing over license plate, declining an assortment of extended (BS) warranties, etc., and I paid cash so there...

Agree, go there any make an offer. Once word gets out that an unreserved Type R exists, it will go quickly.

Not sure which dealer that one is, but Tampa Honda earlier had two CW models scheduled for delivery. A total of seven were initially destined for the Tampa Bay Area including those two. Mine arrived in Clearwater last night. Tampa Honda also has a 2021 Type R Limited Edition (Phoenix Yellow)...

Hang in there Bro! Apparently, things are moving again after the holidays. Like tuhroo said, it will be worth the wait. I'll post tomorrow how the PDI, etc. went, initial driving impressions, and will try to find out if they know anything about delivers in the JAX area.

Just received a call from the salesperson that mine arrived at the dealership at 8:30 p.m. Now just need to get Trey's in too!

Still waiting and there’s no end in sight even though it’s just 16 miles away! It’s also disappeared from the VIN location finder.

Same situation here. Spoke to salesman (great guy) and he said mine was still at the CSX rail yard ~16 miles away along with several other cars that have been promised. He added that the dealership was at the mercy of getting a trucker to drive it over. Hard for me to believe that a trucking...

Make that Escort rather than Passport-LOL

I’ve had Passport and Beltronics detectors. Passport had a lot of features that I found to be more gimmicky that useful. The Beltronics (STi Driver) was great and when living in Virginia, undetectable. I now have the Gen 2 Valentine and think it’s in a class of its own in terms of sensitivity...

Many thanks for the encouragement! I needed it Just moments ago, received a call from the salesman that my Type R (Boost Blue), is still at the rail yard awaiting a driver to deliver it. So, doesn't look like I'll have it before 2023, but in the meantime I'm enjoying all the posts about those...

I'm certain that I will be too, if it EVER GETS HERE!

Wish fulfillment? Self-fulfilling prophecy? CARnal knowledge? Sorry, just couldn’t resist that one - ???

Valentine 1 Gen 2

I'm totally ignorant about car carriers, etc. and don't wish to flame them unfairly, but dealers in my area are getting new 2023 models almost daily based upon their website inventories. What determines which cars they deliver any particular day; is it "first in - first out," distance, waiting...

My sales guys have been working really hard to get it over as well. They seem to be at the mercy of the truck carriers.

Yep, 7001 Anderson Road.

THANKS! Any info on where your's is? Mine's 15 miles away at a CSX rail yard "waiting for a trucker," which it has been for a week. Go figure....

Just curious - Could the dealer wish to keep the car at the rail yard 15 miles away until the start of the New Year for tax purposes?

Told you too that I'd be last - LOL! Patience is growing very thin......
