Hi everybody, my 1st post here in CivicXI! Excited to have finally picked up a 2024 CW FL5 in SoCal for technically MSRP + $1655 in accessories. Hands off to Norm Reeves Cerritos for making the purchase happen with little work. The initial phone call had a negotiable 3k markup with wheel locks, trunk tray, illuminated door sills and clear protection film for the door edges and handles. Once I went in person to speak with them, the accessories, according to window sticker, added up $1784. I was able to negotiate it down to $1655, so MSRP $46344 + $1655 =$48000. I felt this was a good deal considering other dealerships in the area wanted 3k-5k markup with no accessories and I'm getting something for the additional $1655. I tried negotiating that I don't want the clear protection door films because $795 is ridiculous but they can't because it's already on the car, so they just discounted it. Maybe with more work, I could have negotiated to take some other accessories off but I'm exhausted having searched for a FL5 @ MSRP for months and even considered purchasing one out of state. Norm Reeves Cerritos has 6 more FL5's in CW and 3 in Black for those in SoCal who are interested in picking one up without the crazy markup. I'm glad to be part of the Honda community again, my 1st Honda being a 1993 Honda Prelude with a H22A. That car was a beast in its day. Sorry for the long post, proud owner of #22944.

Well done - a good deal for sure. I feel like many dealers are going to quote a high markup over the phone - but will be more apt to come down on the markup if you come in person ready to drive the car off the lot that day.

Yes I’m sure and also the dealers must be sick of all the tire kickers on the phone just dreaming of what they might be able to get a FL5 for .

Nice pickup dude. I just ordered the car cover and was wondering if it is Waterproof or just water resistant. Hard to tell from the description when I ordered it.

Thank you :D.
It states water-resistant in the description of the cover. Once it arrived and i got my hands on it, It's definitely not waterproof, and very breathable fabric so I don't think I'd trust it as anything more than an indoor cover with occasional/small drips.

2024 Civic Type R | 2017 Civic Si Sedan (sold)
2024 SGP, picked up on Friday. Coming from a 2017 Civic Si (and CivicX forum). Scratched the modifying itch with the Si, and was happy to find a buyer who liked what I had done with that car, but plan to keep the CTR stock. Will be it running in SCCA street class, which will help to keep me honest in that regard. I do have the Karcepts bar from my old car that will go onto this one. And I’ll do street class legal wheels/tires once I decide what direction I want to go with that. So thrilled to have this car!
