this BaT listing was through a Honda dealer, brand new, never titled. There was no difference from buying on this auction vs. buying in person...except that it wasn't bid to the reserve price. Zero risk from a buying perspective...except not seeing it in person, which people have been doing all...

Finding RR at MSRP will be tough, but any other color is perfectly do-able. You should have bid up to MSRP for this brand new, dealer-listed CTR. The final bid was under MSRP https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2024-honda-civic-type-r/

The inventory is better now for a few reasons but I think a major explanation is because production has clearly ramped up. They are up to nearly 20k global units shipped since releasing the 2023 model year, and we're only in the second model year of the 11th gen with many months of production...

Based on relative inventory, now is a significantly better time to buy vs July. There is easily well over the July number of 400 in inventory. There are at least 600 new CTRs available on dealer lots (50% increase in 6 months) not to mention the in transit units. Another thread debating accuracy...

I'd like to call out that my prediction here 6 months ago was completely spot on. Today there are nearly 2000 new CTRs available between on dealer lots and in transit. Feels good to know the CTR market as good as I do, it pays off having closely followed it going back to 2017!

Honda of the Avenues, Jacksonville FL. They're my local dealer and have been a long time enemy of mine given how many times over the years I've attempted to give them business but they just suck ass. My friend sent me this on Friday while he was in the service dept. I can see absolutely nothing...

There are now over 300 new CTRs for sale nationwide. Back in 2018, the new CTR inventory nationwide hit 400, and in 2019, went over 700. At the current rate of new units available growing, I predict over 400 new units by end of year available nationwide. Additionally, with borrowing rates...

Just spoke to one of the top greedy dealers in my area (Coggin Honda Jacksonville) who said their first FL5 won't be delivered until end of December at the soonest.

Nice! Didn't realize you were scooping one up. You'll have to get a photoshoot with the LE and your new FL5

Whoever told you that, lied. US Honda dealers have been price gouging customers looking to buy the 11th gen Civic Si for over a year now and there is nothing being done by Honda about it (they are not holding back allocations). The CTR will be no different. Honda didn't do anything about...

Absolutely love the forged wheels. On the other hand, I really like the look of the factory wheels. Curious, when you get the accessory wheels, do they provide the factory wheels with the car? I think they should for the price tag. The only thing I'll also say, that red leather accessory shift...

I've always loved fog light LEDs. Would be cool if the refresh incorporated that feature

I remember in the late winter/early spring of 2017 when the first FK8s we're arriving for journalist reviews and the anticipation was super high for the first units to go on sale. I'd get antsy thinking about if/how/when/where can I get one of these. Fast forward to now and I have that feeling...

I actually prefer the alcantera steering wheel, but I have that on my 21 CTR LE, so I'm happy to have a leather wheel on my FL5 (when the time comes that I get one)

what's with the alcantera steering wheel? I thought it was leather?

I was here to say just that. My LE is 3,071 lbs...if the new R is 3900 lbs, that's ~30% increase in weight! I won't believe this until I see a production model, just doesn't make sense. Edit: Boostlag corrected what that number means in the above post. So this number is not curb weight

Excited to see the car, dreading the buying experience

We can agree to disagree, but I am 100% certain HPJ is a fully employed Honda marketing rep. Not just any average journalist or shmo off the street gets to go see their CTR being built at the Swindon factory and then shipped to their local dealer:

HPJ is an employee of Honda, and he has historically been reliable with info like this. I would bet the house we are going to see a full, unwrapped reveal July 20th of the 11th gen CTR. HPJ was one of the first reliable sources to confirm Boost Blue for the 2020 refresh FK8 as well as the...

I just picked up a 2011 Si to daily drive over my CTR LE. Having previously owned the 2015 Si (9th gen), I have to say, the 8th gen Si is something really special. The 8k redline and VTEC turnover, incredible. I'm surprised more Honda enthusiast don't value the 8th gen Si over the 9th or even...
