The FL5 Dealer ADM Markup Thread

[atlcivic]

Long time lurker finally picked up an SGP fl5 a couple weeks ago. Paid a few hundred over msrp but this was at my nearby dealer and included tint and trunk mat and the msrp was lower than most recent pricing. Just got it back from ppf and ceramic and looking forward to racking up miles to hit the break in and start doing some OEM+ mods. If anyone is local to Atlanta I’d love to meet up to see what you all have done with yours and share your experiences. Look forward to being a part of the honda community after only owning BMW the last 20 years.

Congrats on the new toy. I'm too a BMW owner for the last 21 years (e53X5 and e86Z4MC). Will be picking up a BBP this weekend. Hopefully, this won't be a "downgrade" coming from my MCoupe as this Civic will be the most expensive car I've ever purchased including those BMWs!

Congrats! The car is amazing!

However, If you think it’s extremely quiet stock in comparison to your BMW’s. A simple air intake really amplifies the turbo spool and blowoff valve noises by a lot. Which too me, made the car a lot more enjoyable and fun to drive.

Congrats, and I'm glad your patience and countless hours lurking paid off. : )

Anyone ever run into where the car disappeared from the website? It was in transit for a couple of weeks. I put a deposit in and I've called the dealer. It was supposed to be arriving any day now for the last 5-6 days. I called the dealer and they said they had issues with the transport company. Not sure why it would disappear though.

This happened quite often in the early days. If you search through the thread you will find discussion on it. If memory serves me correctly cars disappearing from the site could be due to a number of reasons like the dealership removing it from inventory. I wouldn't be alarmed just yet.

It generally happens when the dealer removes the car from their inventory due to it being sold.

This. When I put a deposit down on mine because I could not make it into the dealership until the weekend to complete the deal, the car disappeared from the dealer's website the next day. When I tried to go look to the old page via my bookmark, it was marked as SOLD and even that page would go dead a couple of days after that.

Not looking good for me. Honda pulled this out, usually done when a vehicle is damaged. No trace or where it’s at.
