The FL5 Dealer ADM Markup Thread

[princers]

I’m still looking for a championship white CTR at MSRP. I’m in the Chicago suburbs, please let me know if you have any leads. Schaumburg Honda is asking like $4k over and they have 3 CTR’s in stock

I'm in the same boat and its frustrating. so many local dealers sitting on inventory and are blowing my phone up with calls & emails, yet wont negotiate lol. wild times

I think you can wait until the end of this year and negotiate down to MSRP or below.

There are 600+ FL5 R's on Autotrader in the country rn, new and used, so I don't know how any of these dealers think they can charge anything but MSRP or below.

i have a local dealer who still has a 2024 that they're trying to get over for. even when you find one at MSRP down here (Carolinas), there's some bogus BS package and/or a bogus BS "doc fee". I've been in the car business 20 yrs now and it still boggles my mind

Plus the fact that dealers are paying insurance and cost on that car after 90 days.

Depends on the color really. Since black and (especially) red account for like 5-10% of total production, it's damn near impossible to find one at MSRP. On last check, there were like 9 new reds in the entire country, compared to 175 white.

I agree though, white, blue and grey are pretty much everywhere at this point. No chance I'd pay over MSRP for those colors right now.

Schaumburg dealer is a POS. I put myself on their list 1 year before the type R came out; didn’t tell me about any ADM. 3 months before first shipments were coming, I asked and they THEN told me 15k markup. I had to find some other dealer and wait another 1 year before I got the car. They suck!

I just picked up mine 2 days ago at MSRP at heritage Honda in Maryland, they have one more on their show room if you want it, it's a white one. it's a 2025 btw.

Honda pro Jason is based out of that store, thought maybe they wouldn’t be such assholes with markups.

yep it’s nutty how rare red is. About 10 new ones in the entire country right now. Even when factoring in used, that brings the total to about 25ish.

most dealers in 2024 dont have a floorplan

whats crazy is that i can get a red one without issue at msrp plus $775 “package”. a local NC store has 2 customers ahead of me that want anything but red


ps Vann York is $3500 over lol

Just fyi they were/are desperate to move these. Called me everyday at one point and at the end were offering 1500 under sticker. I only wanted black or red though.
