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

If you can swap the shift knob for the forged wheels, that would be a good deal. Doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise - like another poster said, this is basically a $7,500 ADM, which is not horrible.

IMO that is terrible since there are dealers taking MSRP for the ITS.

Also... i should prob move to minnesota... you are lucky! I don't know any mechanic in this area that would do any work for only 12 dollars... except maybe replace the windshield wipers?

And you might very well find a car for MSRP if you were at the top of the list for one. When I got my car they only sell local and had 17 people on the waiting list. The dealership has not had a car since and they are a pretty big dealer.
I am lucky

Yeah but then you have to drive an ITS.

I'm not sure I understand what your question is....

That said... Different dealers have different pay plans or how they compensate a salesperson.

The more common method among massive chains or fixed-price dealers is to compensate by volume. Of course, there may be another incentive such as a bonus to sell a specific vehicle.

Often times smaller dealers will compensate a salesperson based on gross profit. Nothing is 100% can be different everywhere... That said dealers that pay based on gross will often cap the amount of commissionable gross on vehicles with ADM. So for example they may only pay on up to x,xxx of gross profit.

I worry I'm causing more confusion...

Sales people, if they are worth anything should WANT to sell you the car. They should also look for how to sell you the car.

What he said

 

[AspecR]

no, not confusing... that helps.
yes, they should want to sell the car, but if a difference of 1-2k can mean a diff of 2-300 in their pocket, it may be an incentive for them to hold firm if they think it's a seller's market for a car like this. let's put it this way... the dealership SHOULD want to sell the car, but so many of them are holding firm,

however, based on what you explained, we wouldn't know for sure how it's structured in any given dealership, so we can't count on that. Also, it doesn't sound like the competition between reps would help us much no matter what. therefore, i'm most confident still about trying to engage the manager if it's important -- like i've always done in the past.

When it comes to cars like the Type R, I always recommend customers deal with a manager first wherever possible or deal with a salesperson that’s an enthusiast.

Even though they are technically the same car, the ITS will feel like a consolation prize to those that wanted a CTR first. So I understand why most would rather pay ADM for a FL5 than MSRP for a DE5.

Maybe. I guess I would have to see/drive one. But if it's the identical car that is just more premium I'd take the ITS over the CTR if they were the same price.

That’s what I did. Went straight to the GM. Got what I wanted in writing with his signature on it and place my refundable deposit. Bypassed SA and Sales Manager as they would have to check with the GM anyway.

If anyone is interested, I know a dealer with a Black Type R available and a Boost Blue coming in. Reach out to Crown Honda in St. Petersburg, Florida. The sales rep is Cary Forney, number is 727-205-0669 or 727-939-6518. ADM is $5,000 plus $1000 for some dealer options. Probably the best deal I've found across the country after calling 60 dealers last week.

I believe this was reported a couple pages back by @Dmorrow

The boost blue is sold to LHT Performance. The black is still available

Checking back in with my original post from a page or 2 back.. I was able to get them to down to 51.7 +TTL which puts me at just under 57k otd... then 1000 for transport since I'm buying from an out of state dealer since I live in CA where ADM's are holding firm at 15k on average. I'd be in about 58k after all said and done. This equates out to about a 7k adm but 1500 of that is allocated to their "protection" package.

If you are happy with the color and the price, then that's what counts. If so, Congratuations!

Honda in Weymouth MA has 2 on their website not listed on the tracker. Salesman refused to discuss pricing over the phone and said they go over pricing at the dealership.

Avoid them, my car as well as a bunch of other members’ cars were bought over the phone.
