Man, it benefits to live in certain areas I guess. Hard to believe dealerships are confirming cost when the vehicle hasn’t even been revealed yet. I’ve called more dealerships than I can count and not a single one is willing to put people on a list or take deposits on a car that basically doesn’t exist yet. Feels like I’m in a alternate universe lol. I keep reading all these comments about lists and down payments, but as far as I can tell, nothing like that is happening here.Welp, I just put down another deposit on a dealership in Indiana (fairly close to the Honda plant). I'm 11th in line and they have sold more than 15 Type R over 2 years. And I'm pretty hopeful that my number will get lower as people give up on waiting or get the color they don't want.
This time around, they promised that they will do MSRP and just sent me a confirmation on the pricing that they will sell it to me with MSRP w/o add-ons or markups.
So this is all I can do at the moment. Feel good about the price and pray people will ditch out from the waiting list. And.... the wait goes on!
I think the people who are doing that already have established connections or know the dealerships to hit up because of Social media/friends. One problem going in blind is that some dealerships never even received a Type R allocation. So knowing which ones that had is a plus. You can also lurk the list on the 10th gen Civics website.Man, it benefits to live in certain areas I guess.

Hint: I made a deposit to an out-of-state dealership that does a lot of out-of-state deliveries (usually they have trained DMV guys in-house).Man, it benefits to live in certain areas I guess.

That’s awesome, nice work. Now its all about keeping up to speed on when allocations are getting set. Will post when i find anything changes up here.Well, today I called 28 dealerships in my local area around DFW and beyond, and not a single one had a waitlist, reservation system, or people putting down-payments down. Not a single one. And I’d say out of about half that I called, the managers said they hadn’t had more than a few inquiries anyway.
And not only did none of the dealerships have any of these things in place, but they all specifically said that they wouldn’t begin anything like that until they had inventory lists or allocations in place.
So while some definitely live in areas where every dealer is doing reservations or have waitlists 40 deep, it definitely isn’t here. I’m only saying this to prove a point to people who keep claiming that, everywhere is going to have crazy waitlists or that all the cars already have deposits on them. I’m sure that will change as time goes on and we get closer to actual release, but for now, not so much.
I guess California and the Midwest are crazy but not here, as far as I can tell.
Agreed. I'm in the DFW area as well and my dealer isn't doing anything either, and I have bought 4 new Hondas from them since the end of 2015, and my father has bought 3 in that time and my daughter has bought 2. So we are considered good customers and yet nothing on the Type R. Also the last time when the 10th gen Type R came out and they had a few, they told me that they didn't even set a price and waited for people to offer them amounts above MSRP and they would take the highest one. And that was before we were in these crazy times we are now where dealers are charging above MSRP for regular vehicles that aren't even limited or considered specialty cars.Well, today I called 28 dealerships in my local area around DFW and beyond, and not a single one had a waitlist, reservation system, or people putting down-payments down.

And the fact that someone would go along with that boggles my mind. I would straight walk out if they did that…I don’t care how much leg work I would have to do or how far I would have to go…Agreed.

And as we wait….used 2021’s with <15k miles are going for $50k on carmax….
And yet, people in this forum will still get a type R XDAnyone paying this is smoking crack. You could be a in GT350 or C6 Z06 for that price.
And yet, people in this forum will still get a type R XD
You still havent bought a lexus or m3 yet? LOL
Ahhhh It looks like you're on your way back to Type RAt MSRP they are totally worth it, but 50K plus no way.
I am still looking, lol. Drove a few Lexus but they are just do not have the power for what they cost. I'd love a BMW but not wanting to get back into a German car with all the maintenance issues.
I am actually going looking at a Delsol or CRZ to get me by until the R drops.
Ahhhh It looks like you're on your way back to Type R
