Did I get robbed paying 5k$ over msrp considering I live in Hawaii ( Honolulu )?

Hi I'm new here, and my first time buying a car and fell in love with a type r, so I recently bought a 2024 Type R CW that's sadly still "In Transit" according to my dealer, let me hear your opinion on this, any kind will do.

I'm not sure if there are many forum users located in Hawaii, but you guys have your own unique market conditions for just about everything, so I wouldn't sweat what folks over here ar paying--at a $5,000 markup, you're paying ~12% over MSRP, but that's just one purchase. I suspect you pay more than $5,000 in markup every year on general household goods/shipping just because you're in Hawaii.

At least the Type R will be a lot of fun!

All the cars have like 300 miles

They probably had to drive it there.

it has 300 miles because thats the minimum or lowest u can put in the marketplace under “Miles”

Everyone wants to buy at msrp or under and I am sure there are some that have. Considering you were out the door 5k over msrp, that isn't bad at all. Lots of dealers in our area were pushing 20k over msrp. It took me 8 months to find one and a dealer that worked with me on out the door pricing. Congrats on your new vehicle enjoy it.

Not the worst deal in the world at all for being in Hawaii.
Hopefully it comes soon.
You will love it. These are cars you keep for the long run.

I think this is a fine deal - especially for Hawaii. As you mentioned, not many dealers so supply will be particularly constrained. I also echo other members - once you get behind the wheel you won't give a s**t what you paid. It will be worth every penny.
