I have put the FL5 out of my mind now. Very happy to be keeping the FK8 & looking forward to May when my GR86 arrives, this will replace my ageing MX5.Test drove it last week, its a cracking little sports car & a bargain compared to the FL5.
We will keep the FK8, its only done 20.000 miles & has the remainder of the 5 year service, warranty & breakdown cover.
As much as I am pissed off with Honda for this crazy pricing I cant see anything out there better than my FK8, we need five doors. Its already got great residual value, this...
Waiting for my call. So it would seem there will be a car to test drive after the top guy has had some fun for a while!
Still might put a deposit on one subject to test drive, you can always get your money back.
What the Dealers in the US get away with is truly shocking.
I will be very surprised knowing UK Dealers in the past if the top man in the dealership doesn't want an FL5 to run around in for a few weeks, which becomes the demo car.
People said the same about the GR86, there will only be around 450 cars in the next 2 years coming to the UK. I secured a car with a 1k deposit last April & will get a test drive next week.
I suspect there will be more than 450 FL5,s coming to the UK.
I test drove 3 FK8s before buying & expect a...
If so thats 13k more than I paid for my 2019 FK8 which I am still very happy with. Plus the silly car tax for 5 years!
I will need a test drive to convince myself its worth it.
I bought a MK3 Focus RS without a test drive, the drive modes were just different levels of harsh.
Sold it for an FK8 where the drive modes actually work. The FL5 needs to be the same.
I originally told myself anything over 40K I was out. I would be selling the FK8.
But my Wife who loves the FK8 as much as me said we should just go for it as it will be the last Manual ICE Type R ever!
She usually get her own way!
Its got to be under 40k or I will be keeping the FK8. No way am I paying the silly road tax on a 40k plus car.
The Civic event was this week end at Wakefield, they have my £500 deposit. 4th on the list apparently.
