This dealership had this car posted for less over a month ago. Looks like they pulled it a few week ago and reposted recently with a price bump. Steer clear!
These guys aren't even worth it really. That car is going to sit and he's going to have to lower the price... once the MY25 comes out in a few months, he's going to lower it even more. He'll probably make more than MSRP, but he won't make the money he's looking for, and I'm happy with that...
10+ years back, Honda had the CR-Z hybrid, which you could get a manual transmission. I think they'll have manual around for one more generation, in both the Prelude and Type R. It was mentioned on OG Honda site, Temple of VTEC, that some of the underpinnings of the Prelude will be straight...
LOL. Frankly, he can go fuck himself. He doesn't speak for all sales people in Canada, so making that generalization just shows the type of person or turd he is.
I'm a little surprised that they using the higher HP hybrid setup to replace the 1.5T. It's so close to the Accord, it might eat into it's sales. Disappointing that the Si doesn't get at least a power bump. Perhaps they're assuming that enthusiasts will go to the aftermarket if they want more...
Stock for stock the JDM version gets suede rear seats (US and Canada get cloth) , clear turn signals in the headlights, and parking sensors in the front and rear bumpers (though up in Canada we get them). Think that's it. There's JDM specific stuff, like the ETC system, but we don't have that...
I think it's around 4-5 Million Yen in Japan. In Australia, it's in the 70K range. They pay more than we do (around 62K CAD converted) and get more units.
We actually get a good deal on the DE5 compared to our friends down south. Is it expensive? For sure, but so is the FL5. Especially considering where the FK8 came in at. So they're both premium MSRP, but both worth it in my eyes. ;)
It would be nice to see what the current numbers of units sold looks like.
Side question, for those still waiting, what would be the magic number you’d like to see the used CTRs go for to pull the trigger? Knowing these cars are obviously rare, would you be willing to pay a bit more to be one...
