Hello, I have a deposit on a championship white in MA, salesperson called me and said it's arriving between 6/28 and early July. If anyone has a deposit on a crystal black pearl and wants to swap let me know!

Hope someone takes you up on it.

Ya know... you might wanna try calling local dealers with black and seeing if they had any people on their list who would be buying their car "if only it were white" (or if only it wasn't black)... you could help make that sale while getting you the color you wanted!! worth a try...

@1971Camaro I tried calling a few dealers yesterday to see if they could match my deal, no luck. I'll give that dealer a call. White was actually my first pick, but my current car is white (which I've had for 10 years) and maybe having something different would be nice. If I don't find a black one I'll just stick with the white one.

@Estoril4 Thanks for the offer, but It's either black or white for me lol

If anyone on here has a deposit on a black one and originally wanted white (I know it's the most desirable color), just let me know in the next few days, thanks

Clinton Honda in NJ has a decent deal on a BBP FL5. No ADM, $5k options selected by buyer, $1.1k in dealer protection crap. I figured you could get options you want or get something you can resell to recoup some of the expense.

Does requiring financing through them and a trade-in. I didn't mind the financing part as I will be paying off whatever loan I get in short order once my current car sells. They did low-ball the hell out of my trade-in, like 30% lower than current private sale going rate, which killed the deal for me.

Mandatory trade-in with a lowball offer is just a sneakier way to add on the ADM.

Hello all, I've decided to stick with the championship white as I believe it's gonna be different enough from the standard white cars I'm used to. Although black looks amazing, more mature and classy due to everything matching, in my opinion. After calling around for a week morning till night (about a month ago), I got my current deal for around 54.5k otd, 6k markup. I couldn't spend more than a week calling dealers because it was driving me crazy dealing with the dealerships. The car arrives in about a week or less. I also have a refundable deposit on an integra type s for msrp when that was announced. Do you guys think 6k is fair in this current market? Obviously no markup is fair I understand, but since this is a limited car that will hold it's value better than the type s, should I go with the type r over the type s at msrp? I'm having last minute doubts about the type r due to the markup I'm paying. This is only my second car after my mazda 3 which I've had for 11 years so that's why its a tough decision, I don't switch cars often. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Unless your tastes change in the future and you start to become tired of manuals or it's sporty look/feel, you'll want to own this car for 11 years. It's funny hearing about ppl like you finding these rare ADMs compared to what most are going through because I'm positive you'll be able to sell it for more than what you got it for even after owning it for a bit if the market continues to move the way it is. I say give it a chance at 55K.

I have a similar deal, $7k ADM for CW CTR and have a deposit for an ITS for MSRP +$1k accessories. I was trying to stick to a $5k ADM but every other dealer around me is $15k, so I may close on the CTR when it arrives. I am 9th on the deposit list for the ITS so that is helping to drive my decision to pay the $7k ADM.

Yeah I was definitely not willing to pay more than 5k markup when I first started looking for this car. I guess I'm just willing to pay a grand more for my sanity, because honestly it was extremely stressful finding a fair markup, I'm definitely not patient enough to keep calling around and wasting time with these dealerships, way too taxing for me mentally.

Me neither, I stopped looking for a CTR until a sales guy called me the morning I had planned to look at a local CTR ($15k ADM) and the demo ITS. The ITS was stunning but I fear the tacked on fenders and aggressive diffuser will not age on me. I would check out both in person if you are on the fence.

It's a good deal. If you don't jump on it, there are plenty others out there who will.

Cognitive dissonance. You're struggling with this because you're contemplating making a decision that doesn't align with your value or belief system (i.e., paying over MSRP). If you're not comfortable with paying the markup, don't pay it. It's ok to pass if you're not comfortable. The idea "the market sets the price" is a fallacy. At a micro level, you set the price because you're the one paying. I recommend a parallel path with the ITS to inform your decision making process.

FYI - For context, $6K over MSRP is on the lower end of the ADM spectrum in the current environment but it's not a rare find. There are a fair number of dealers out there doing $5K over.

I agree that the type r definitely has a more timeless design, more cohesive as a whole

yeah I guess you're right. I agree that 5k over is definitely possible, I just don't have the time or patience for it. One week of searching was more than enough for me, kudos to those that have the patience to deal with these dealerships for weeks or months on end. That being said the type r just feels like such a more special car to me over the type s that I'm leaning towards going against my beliefs as you say, and just going with the type r. I don't like being so indecisive, but this is a big purchase for me. I appreciate the input.
