MY 2024? Changes

[FL5NOOB]

Any ideas if there are going to be any changes to the 2024 MY CTR? Seems like dealers in my area are very open to selling 2023 with “only a 5k” markup. Probably due to the ITS being available for MSRP and maybe also due to changes coming in the 2024 CTR?

Normally there’s minimal or zero changes, although it’s interesting that the GR Corolla got a lot of changes to the 2024 model, new color, new wheels, even suspension, steering and cooling improvements.

but that car was probably a little underbaked on release.

Maybe...

Almost feels like a shuffling of features more than anything though right? Like those wheels were on the more limited one right?

Parking sensors would be nice. Same with auto folding mirrors. Basically adding some things available in other markets. Heated seats would make me buy one tomorrow even though I know that won’t happen.

Man Autofolding mirrors is my longest standing grudge with most NA versions of JDM vehicles.
A ton of Japanese vehicles came with them stock, and I understand that the mirrors are angled differently for RHD, but damnit if Euro's can bring them over then the Japanese should too.
I would absolutely pay the premium for them.

From what I’ve seen over the years is that Honda doesn’t really make any changes for the first 2-3 MY’s of any vehicle (unless there’s a safety issue or sales of a particular model are horrendously slumping). They might introduce new paint colors in the interim, but that’s about all. 2025 MY is likely the soonest we’d see an actual FL5 update.

5k markup is hard to come by in California. I'm crossing my fingers to find one with that mark up here.

Your chances are better if you're willing to go out of state. Do you have an aversion to expanding your search out of the state of California?

The only thing that'll change for 2024 is the MSRP lol

I figured there wouldnt be too much change...so ended up getting one for "only" 5k over sticker yesterday! We'll see how much I like the car, I still have deposits down on an MSRP ITS later this year

Good question. I have never purchased a car out of state. The process seems like a major headache.

If you truly want this car and are price sensitive, a California only approach is not a winning strategy. Buying out of state doesn't have to be stressful. I've done it several times, including my FL5, and in some instances it's as easy if not easier than buying local. I cannot speak to the process in California so you may want to do some homework there. There are California forum members who have purchased out of state so they may be able to provide some counsel. If my memory serves me well @Cooler2442 is one of them.

Thank you for always providing sound guidance. You are appreciated! I will look into this option as well.

The car will probably get 'softer' over the years, minor suspension revisions is what I'd expect.
