What are you willing to pay for an 11th gen Type R?

[pinhead66]

I’m pretty sure i will just be waiting for the last year of this model to even hope for reasonable markup

I feel so lucky being in the UK. No authorized dealers add a markup. Not sure they are even allowed to do that here.

I dunno, I hate these markups with a passion, but I think I’d prefer that over $8/gallon…

Welcome to earth…this has been going on as long as I’ve been alive, and will keep going on, forever. This will never stop, so maybe we can move on from the idea that somehow people will stop wanting something and paying for it.

I agree with you. My point was that so many in this forum complain about the markups and as this little poll points out : we are willing to pay more. Thats all.

On that, long live Capitalism! Hahaha

Don't let dealer managers catch wind of this

They are most likely all in this forum. Could have been a dealer that started this thread lol.

Why would anyone pay more than MSRP? Is must be only an American issue, we don’t have this rubbish in Canada

Supply and demand. Could be why your country is only getting 300 over 3 years...

The tiny minority who are willing to pay over MSRP are allowed to change their vote or risk karma of never getting their allocation. Life is simple like that.

Glad I live in Australia. Dealers can't do this here.

True, but gone now are the days of walking in and negotiating a price with a dealer on these 'enthusiast' cars... at least for a while.

The thought of even paying 'close' to the retail (RRP / MSRP) for a car was unheard of even a year ago.. The dealers are LOVING it.

That said we pay so much for a lot of our cars compared to the US, technically it's already above MSRP by the time it gets to Australia.

Honda's fixed pricing model sucks, but...at least you know the price!

I mean, Tesla is basically "pay to play", especially now that they no longer qualify for the government stipend, er, tax credit (why we're paying tax credits on a luxury good is beyond me). I wonder if sales fell off sharply after they exceeded the volume requirements for the credit...

I never thought of it that way.

The people paying markups on common models of cars are completely different from the enthusiasts paying markups on the Type R. This could be a rare and limited run of one of the few remaining drivers cars (that a normal person can purchase at least) before everything turns hybrid or electric.

We know that the market will get better for the mass-produced models ASAP but with limited trim levels like the Type R there isn't that certainty.

This, plus everyone knows this kind of car barely depreciates and may even appreciate. Used car prices are still sky high. Until they go back to normal, this car will go well over MSRP.

It looks like those only willing to pay MSRP are in the minority. It's the reality we are in. I also want world peace and an end to global hunger. What's right and what's going to happen are two entirely different things. Unless you can get EVERY honda enthusiast in the US to agree, these are going for over msrp. WAY over. RoidRage said it best when stating he put himself in a good position financially and isn't going to let 10k keep him from getting what he wants.

Sales doubled this year and on pace to exceed Honda in the US. Every major car manufacturer is scrambling to shore up their EV game.
