FL5 CTR Pre booking check in and dealer price discussion

[Stick_shifter96]

Creating this thread for everyone in Canada to check in and connect to discuss CTR pre bookings in every province and share dealer prices when they are released. Gotta avoid markups as much as possible.

Great idea! No speculation on price from any of the dealers I have called yet. I'm led to believe that more information will be available sometime in the next couple of weeks.

I somehow managed to find a dealer 4hrs away from me that was actually accepting pre bookings. Put my deposit in and all thats left to do is wait.

I'm curious if the first Canadian vehicles will land in the fall, or not until early 2023. Not too keen on taking a mid-winter delivery of my new R!

 

[Stick_shifter96]

Oh yes. Even if they deliver it early next year, I'll only take the delivery of it in spring, I'm not putting it through the winter as soon as it touches ground.

I called my preferred Honda dealer and they told me that they had nobody on any wait list, and that Honda is going to have customers go through an online system to book type R’s through. Any truth to that, or did anyone else have a similar discussion with their dealer?

I called up a dealer and they told me the same, they'll call me up when they have further info. I called around other dealerships, then found one 4hrs away from me which was taking deposits for pre booking. So I paid.

I thought Canada had laws against dealer markups?

I think we do, but dealers find a way around it by adding unreasonable and unnecessary charges and pocket the moneyz.
