I got a dealer to agree to MSRP actually but they had like 4k in accessories. Also I got another dealer to agree to 5k over and I believe it had no accessories. Im in LA as well. I can forward you the info if you'd like. I looked at lease deals through a business and when I can get 2k off ordering an M2 which comes out o about 65k at a MF of .028 versus the Honda .004 MF the monthly payments are literally like $900 vs $1100 with residuals at 33k for CTR and M2 was like 41k.@Clark_Kent
I am willing to pay ADM, but anything more than 10% of MSRP reaches my limit. I asked all dealerships if they would accept an offer with $5000 ADM, and the R performance package ($5350) only. I got a lot resistance and no takers. For some reason, Honda dealers cringe at the idea of Honda accessories. I didn't find anyone who knew about the option for reduced mass wheels and a carbon wing! I find the obstinance to sell the accessories odd, but the lack of knowledge not very surprising. The Honda accessories most likely don't provide the return they get with the cheap accessories they pick and tack on. Anyway, that's when I folded my cards and decided to postpone.
Buy out of state and have it shipped to you. Cali isn't the only state in the US@Clark_Kent

Well deserved. Hope you enjoy it to the fullest. Please post pics after it arrives. : )I bought one at MSRP in OK and shipping it to OR!
I'd definitely recommend looking out of state for those of us on the West Coast — this makes two this month in the middle of the country that I've been able to buy for MSRP (passed the first on to a member here and then regretted it so I bought this one).
Shipping is surprisingly inexpensive — like $1,200 for open or $1,700 for enclosed.
As soon as you spend a dollar in a dealership with slimy sales tactics/markup, you're endorsing their business practices and helping them to employ them on future customers. I can appreciate your frustration, California seems to be the toughest place to get a Type-R at a fair price.I don’t think Honda has received enough negative feedback to reach a critical mass and to get them to take action. As long as people pay the high prices the market will deliver, and we are accepting the conditions of the sale.
This. Baffling that people waste their time arguing with those dealerships in CA. This isn't 1971. Exercise a little ingenuity and look elsewhere. Just pick up the phone and/or hop online and begin emailing dealerships.Buy out of state and have it shipped to you. Cali isn't the only state in the US
