Is anyone backpedaling from Type R to an Si?

The problem with going to a FK8 over a FL5 is pre-owned FK8s are still relatively expensive. If you're patient a FL5 can be had for not that much than a pre-owned FK8.

Yes, used car prices are coming down but FK8s are less affected than other cars.

Type R
Just came across a local seller with a 2017 that only has 2300 miles on it. Clean carfax and they are asking 40 even for it. It has been in his garage for the majority of its time.

I’ll do some digging myself as well, but are there reasons for/against the earlier model years?
Do it. I found an 18 with 400 miles and it's like getting a new Type R. The Fk8 is faster in a straight line any way (according to instrumented test by Car and Driver, a 2017 traps 2 mph faster and is .6 faster to 100mph than a 2023), just not as nice of interior.
