took mine in today, went out of the way to buy an amazon gift card and tried asking to see if I could talk to the technician beforehand to give it to him/her... but they didn't seem too keen on letting me do that for whatever reason. can only hope they don't scuff the hell out of it.

I just had this happen the weekend after picking up my fl5, at first it was throwing errors for everything under the sun, after turning off and on again it was just emissions and rev match. had to wait a week and a half of no driving to take it to the dealer - at which point they said there was...

I doubt that any dealer charging an adm off the bat will charge msrp anytime soon until we get a better understanding of the production rate

does the fl5 come with front plate mounts? if I understand correctly, if honda doesn't have a part number for OEM plate mounting then WA will grant an exemption to requiring front plates. something I didn't think about until now

Honolulu is closer to Japan, maybe Hawaii will get stacked with fl5s

I mean to be fair, that 72k purchase includes optional accessories and warranty - those aren't exclusive to a type r purchase

checked the configurator for shits and giggles... a cw on its way to the dealer I'm second in line at. doubt the guy in front of me is gonna pass on cw so i'll likely be waiting longer. but that's the second WA allocation I think behind @crash___ , so more seem to be popping up

gotta love all these arbitrary, divisible-by-5 mark ups... 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) just makes it sting that much worse - there ain't no rhyme nor reason but guess you can't blame them, they have to start somewhere lol I'm sure in another life I'd be trying to squeeze some poor sucker for...

do dealers make profit on the accessories? like is there a delta between the price a customer pays and the price the dealer pays to order the accessory?

non-refundable deposits are unfortunately legal, at least in WA state

fairly close to Canada, north of Seattle. I think I'm number 2 w/ deposit on their list

I wonder if we are both locked in at the same dealer in WA

my color preferences are cw or red... honestly it's hard to have a firm choice in mind since some days I wake up thinking one way or the other. normally I wouldn't mind the slow tap of information from honda, but my ford has recently become possessed with an impossible to track electrical leak...

man I hope my ADM can get me some accessories, I'll just get as many as possible at that point lmao. I assume the difference between retail and the internal honda prices is dealer profit on accessories?

same, but nothing a little OT and budgeting can't fix

I have a deposit down for one at 10k over, it is what it is. i'll get one of the first vehicles that dealer receives and i can stop being a worrywort about tracking one down at "first-come-first-serve" with hopes of getting a better deal. i'm also in dire need of a new car, so i would easily end...

Yep - I've heard $10k to $20k so far at every dealer i've contacted in WA. $10k seems to be the norm for cities outside of seattle/tacoma proper. namely rairdon honda was taking deposits but were not firm on the markup - only estimating "around $15k" over

from the press release a few weeks back: "Pricing and additional details on the 2023 Civic Type R will be provided closer to launch this fall." september = fall

production will likely be in the tens of thousands simply based on the 5 digit serial plates, 4k a year over X many years will surely yield that much. either way we'll find out here in a few weeks officially (hopefully). I just want some official numbers and news because while I want this car, I...

I'm a bit confused on how exactly allocations work in the US market - any insight would be appreciated (based on experiences with looking for FK8s in the past). for example, the dealers that are taking deposits now told me they require a deposit before "ordering" the vehicle (which I assume...
