I apologize that pointing out your incredibly greedy and self-centered behavior hurt your feelings. Carry on!

You're also the guy that tried selling me (and others) a supposed lead for a lower-ADM car for a grand on here, so it's not terribly surprising you're someone who would want to limit the availability of this car for others to enjoy now that you have one yourself.

I've probably spoken to 100ish dealers a this point. Problem I'm running into is one of two scenarios: 1) sure, we take a deposit on a car we don't have. Selling price is MSRP + 15-20k Or 2) we don't take deposits or reservations on cars we don't have. But we'll call you and the three...

Yeah, I'm not expecting MSRP now or ever. And I would do 5k over. That's my limit. but even that has been difficult to find. I'm on two dealership lists for that price but I'm like 10+ deep on both lists. Any other dealer I can find at that price will not accept a deposit or reservation.

I really thought several months into being available, the initial hype would fade and prices would start to normalize. In my experience, these cars are still easily selling for 10-20k over MSRP around me and dealers will not budge. I told one dealer to f off the other day at their 63k asking...

I may just hold off and wait like you said. I just find myself growing antsy over having a car locked down because every dealer I call that has a waitlist on a car for a reasonable price has deep waitlists. I call the local dealers around me who have CTRs in stock and they want 20k ADMs. Just...

Ok, so a totally random comment about financial illiteracy that has nothing to do with my comment and does not provide any useful info? Got it. Glad you could share that with me. This is a pointless argument. Adios.

^ I'm not trying to 'push' or flex on anyone, just replying to a strange and out-of-place comment where someone suggested I was some financially illiterate bum because I want to place a deposit on a CTR. If anyone has any recs on dealers to contact, I'd appreciate it. If someone just wants to...

Makes total sense from a practical POV IMO. I just want as locked-in a deal as I can get and not have to worry about finding one as they come in, as long as I can get a reasonable price on one of them. You say to just throw my name on an MSRP list, well... that's what I'm asking for on here...

I'm in kind of a unique position where I'm temporarily living in an apartment for ~3 months before I move back across the country to my house (temp relocation for work). So, I'm not really in a position to buy today, which makes it hard for me to call and deal. My ideal situation would just be...

Hey all, I'm desperate. Does anyone have any leads on a dealer that will accept a deposit for a car with an adm 5k or less and realistically has spots available? I don't mind waiting a few years for the car but just want some kind of official hold/reservation on one. I have talked to so, so...

Eh, I disagree that my tactics with them were wrong. For one, I bought a car from one of the dealers within the past two years. I also do all of my emailing from my work email, so they know I'm a physician and can very likely afford the car. I also mentioned being open to cash or financing. And...

Ames Iowa Honda is at about 8k over MSRP on their CTR right now. Didn't try and haggle, they might be negotiable further. Their presold car had the buyer flake out. Sales guy was a bit of a twat though, got all testy and said that they were offering it for below market value when I said I wasn't...

I played the game poorly. I contacted three local dealers over a year ago and believed them when they said I was first on their list. No deposit taken. I wish I would have called around more and tried to get more of an commitment with a deposit, but none of the local dealers would accept one...

Placing a deposit/reservation on this car has been a freaking nightmare. Why won't anyone take my money?! Every dealer I have spoken to who charges a reasonable ADM (I'll define that as 5k or less) simply WILL NOT TAKE A DEPOSIT. Everyone keeps saying they're taking down my name, but I'm...

I was very fortunate to be able to get a ride in a local guy's fl5 yesterday (shout-out Chris in Tampa if you're on here). Amazing car and really helped me feel comfortable commiting a down payment on one. Other than a somewhat firmer ride than I expected, which I'm okay with, my only real...

Dale Wiley Honda in Lawrence ks already getting desperate with their markup (almost 20k). I told them to fuck off a week ago and their emails to me asking how we can make a deal are more desperate each time they reach out. They pulled this same shit when I wanted an SI last year with a 14k...

They told me you get what you get and they have no control over it. Maybe you guys got lucky? Or dealers traded between themselves? Not sure

Fair point. Thinking about it more, I don't even care about the 2.5k markup. I think my bigger concern is getting one of the colors I really don't like (red or black) and either paying 50k+ for a color I don't want or not getting a car. Really wish dealers could tell Honda the color, but I'm...

Realistically, do you guys think this car will ever be freely available for MSRP? I just placed a nonrefundable (After tomorrow) $500 deposit for one at $2,500 over MSRP. 2nd on the list. I have until tomorrow to cancel it. Of course, my fear is in two years when they get this car, the market is...
