2023 Civic Type R Waitlist / Deposit / Reservations List - Check in here!

[Geezer]

Short story from my C8 Corvette ownership experience. Car came out and many people were bitching about markups saying msrp or bust. Others were willing to pay 5-10 etc. over to buy the car then were selling them used for 20-25 over and making money in the process. Yes it is not a vette and it's not 2020-21 anymore still some food for thought. Paying over won't necessarily put you upside down in the short term. When they start hitting eBay/BaT I will not be surprised to see them go in the 60s.

Has anyone seen a picture of a window sticker for a Type R showing MSRP? Need one for my lender.

 

[AspecR]

HAHAHA.... That is exactly mt thoughts.

I need that RR. I'll settle for the rest except for BB.

Man!!! We on the same page. RR is winning on the FL5 everything else in second place

Are you guys taking any Color’s ?

I paid more from a different dealer yesterday to make sure I got Boost Blue. (Not that much more though)

Boost Blue looks amazing, but it also looks amazing on the 30 base/sport models I see every week riding around town.

I went out of the way to get one in BB for my 2020. Part of the reason I sold it was Honda went from it being an exclusive color on the type R to offering it on the base model. Really ruined it for me.

From photos the black seems to look the best but after owning a black car I will never do that again.

For me, white or nothing at this point.

I know there a 2 guys on one of the FL5 FB groups who have posted with their new R already. They must have been there when the car was unloaded.

where was it posted?

I got video confirmation from a GM agreeing to 5k ADM. Just waiting allocation. We'll see if I can leverage that with other dealerships around here

There are several new FL5 FB groups, it's in one of them.

i am part of most...never saw anyone post their car yet

Unfortunately here in SoCal the dealers I have tried are smoking the silly stuff with their ADMs and trying to claim "After speaking with corporate they want atleast a $25k mark up on this one". I just laugh for a few seconds and hang up. How unfortunate that they do this to people that really want the car but kill it with these crazy mark ups.

Exercising patience is the play here. These dealers will not want to sit on these cars.

I’ll never forget the dealer I bought my 19 Type R from years ago. They bragged about their first year cars all selling for 60k+ with no issue. I patiently sat there with my msrp offer and pretended to be impressed

Hoping to get mine Monday

just a reminder guys...vin does not mean plaque number

although you may have number 150 on last 3 of vin, does not mean that is your number inside

What does the plaque number mean then?

Figured I would share my success story;

In January I had agreed with a dealer here in MPLS MN to take the first allocated 23 for MSRP plus 2k in accessories. The way I look at it, it's a steal. I was going to do tint and PPF anyways and I get nice floor mats too.
I got the first allocation, sonic gray. Should be here within the next 1-2 months.

I legitimately struck gold, the dealer now is doing 3k over plus 3k in accessories on all type R "deposits"

It's not done till I have the keys to my car and it's in my damn garage, but I have a hopeful feeling I won't get screwed.

The right deal is out there, don't get discouraged . I just got EXTREMELY lucky.
