Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[toejammer]

damn lol I gues the waitlists are still pretty long at the dealerships... I was hoping to walk in and be able to buy without crazy mark up (<3k) by now

If you find a place that has an extra one, lmk.

I tried contacting dealerships a month ago and most of them didn't want to deal. Like out of the 10 that I contacted, only 1 sounded like their were nice and were willing to deal but weren't taking deposits since their waitlist was full. Other 9 were greasy as hell, e.g., didn't want to tell you what the price is, didn't want to discuss details. One dealer in Victoria said they only sell to local.

How many of you are still waiting/waited listed to purchase a FL5?

 

[Sazabi]

Wow so BB is coming to Canada, damn. That's sweet.

Nothing crazy, but they didn’t wait until November again to post the spec sheet on the press release website lol.

Some recent Reddit posts suggest people are being told early summer. Both in Ontario.

Here’s a Boost Blue listing that seems to have automatically loaded into Surrey Honda’s inventory system about 2 days ago. First listing in Canada I’ve seen:

lol insane price. $73,415 before taxes.

Called them today, they require a trade-in in addition to the marked-up price, and they’re only offering it on a lease , the car is expected to arrive at the dealership on May 25th.

 

[toejammer]

Yeah, that's insane so they'll be making profit off of the mark up plus on the trade in I bet. And I wonder if they'll be making you buy any addons and warranties.... No thanks for me.

I remember calling Surrey months ago asking about a brand new one and they got back to me with info on their demo instead.

Interesting that's it "Racing Blue Pearl" like it is in Japan/Europe and not Boost Blue Pearl like has been in North America. I assume that's just a dealership typo.

I put a deposit down in March for an allocation expected to arrive in June/July. Read on another post that a vessel made a stop at Annacis so the listing from Surrey Honda should be good news for everyone waiting on their 2026.

Another shit show year from dealers. I'm glad I overpaid last year.

On the canadian Honda web site it's saying "Boost blue"

Yeah that's why I said it's a dealership typo.
