Just got a call from another dealer in Socal that I had showed interest in acquiring a type r from and seems like $20k mark up is the standard here. He offered the car to me for preorder but I told him I am not paying that kind of mark up. The salesmen then said if it doesnt get sold via preorder they will knock it down 5k to 15k ADM in store to whoever wants to buy it first.

I know everyone has their money and are free to do whatever they want but I truly think if people were collectively patient on these the dealers would have zero choice but to mark them down heavily and most buyers would win in this case. Just my 2 cents.
They won't understand sadly but hey it's their money. Kudos to you though for being patient.

Surprisingly in FL, most dealerships that have a mark up higher than 10k still have their cars available(this was not the case with the FK8). I spoke with 9 different dealerships and everyone that has a markup less than 10k has sold.

Sounds like dealers got a little too ambitious with the markups...

What is the serial # on the car that you received ? if you know... I'm doubting the last numbers of the VIN will be the same :hmm:

Congrats!!:thumbsup:
