Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[frenzal]

Don't know if I'll get the call from my dealer one day. But with an ITS and a new TLX-S, I won't buy the CTR.
Keeping the deposit in case something happens to one of my cars, until I get the call.

If I say no, then they'll go to the next inline. Would love to buy the car and sell it to someone here, but I'll have to pay 15 % tax myself to buy it, then the next buyer would have 8-9 % tax to pay. So will probably not worth it. So would be PDSF + 15 % + 9 % if I buy and resold the car to someone here who would want it.

Sill thinking of selling my S2000 for the CTR. But having 2 similar cars would be kind of dumb (CTR and ITS). At least now I have a FWD, AWD and RWD.

Really wish I could just pass my allocation to someone here who really wants it. If I ever get a call...

Can a Canadian Honda dealership do market adjustment or mark up on a new vehicle MSRP? Trying to negotiate with a sales person who has an outright $12,000 mark up on MSRP, no add ons, accessories or anything.. Was given an invoice so it’s in writing.

My understanding was that Honda Canada doesn’t allow it?

If the car is brand new, they can apply the markup via add-ons. They can also drive the car 100kms then mark it as used and add the markup that way. We have OMVIC here in Ontario to prevent that stuff from happening but clearly it’s not a deterrent.

This is the deal sheet I got from Ottawa Honda, just FYI. $70k pre-tax. I'm guessing that if you show up today with a down payment in your hand, you might be able to get them to remove some of that fluff on the right.

ridiculous, screw this dealer. I also blame Honda Canada for allowing this to even happen.

Went through this whole deal with my previous car (GR Corolla), although the market on those cars has cooled significantly, and Toyota has no plans to stop making them. I'm just slowly coming to terms with not being able to own an FL5 from new at a reasonable price, which is okay. I'd maybe buy @katch922 's car, but he's all the way on the side of the country, lol.

I just saw the Yuzu GR86, I kind of want that when i get to Australia now, but not sure if that will be released there. Im sure you can get the body kit as addon tho on any model.

well if you are serious about it, look up shipping options and I might be able to do 58k minus shipping cost if its reasonable. So far I had an offer of 56 from a dealer, but I turned it down. Im not in a big rush to sell just yet.

Theoretically, no, they can't ask for more than msrp. But there is so much room to get around this rule. They can request a trade in, finance or lease only, drive the car around and say its used car now.

I think there's quite a few of us on here that had to ship or travel to get our cars. It's what was necessary because of how annoying some of these dealerships can be.

Yeah, I actually even called a few dealers in the Atlantic provinces with the intention of travelling there if the opportunity presents itself. My foreseeable schedule for summer sucks though; likely can't take more than 3 days in a row off, so I may resort to shipping unless I can find one in BC or the prairies.

Thank you! I'll need to check again with a few transport companies. Last time I got quotes from $1700-$2500 from NB to AB and that was about 2 years ago. Hopefully prices haven't soared since then

@Apex Carver is in AB, and might be able to help you with that. He transported a car from NB last year.

It’s $2500 on the cheap end for rail. Goes up from there for open trailer and even more for enclosed.

enclosed I was getting quotes for 5-6k and this was all in Jan 2024.
