46.7k, Msrp was just under 45k. 1k ADM but then 400 or 500 processing fee, and another couple hundred in other fees. I hate ADM and believe I'm in idiot for paying it. I'm sure I'll be pissed once these can easliy be had for MSRP.
Great price though!

I secured an allocation back in February for a Championship White Type R at MSRP. The dealer had a $199 doc fee. The car arrived at the dealership last week and was delivered to me this morning. One of the smoothest vehicle transactions I've ever completed, second only to the family hauler we purchased last year (Volvo XC90 T8).

Ha, I didn't even think about it being last month when I wrote that. It felt like an eternity ago. But yeah, it was last month.

Western Honda in Garden City, KS. Last I spoke to the salesman, the waiting list was 70+people deep. 97% of those individuals will never see a car. Not sure why they keep taking names as they likely will not be allocated another car this year. They saw 4 FK8s during the 5 year production run. For context, the highest volume dealer near Western Honda is Scholfield Honda in Wichita, KS. They sell over 300 cars a month and have only received 2 CTR allocations.

So how long were you on the list, or how did you skip everyone in line?

You sir lucked out. You only think you'll be pissed but wait until you actually drive the car. You will not care one bit. These things will not be easily had at MSRP.

If we match up timelines with the FK8 launch. By this time in the FK8 release window, my dealership had already sold 9 times the amount of FL5s we've currently sold (only 1 sold so far).

I engaged them in early February. The interest in the allocation reached a fever pitch once it was known the vehicle was in transit.

I'm not sure what I have to gain from lying about it. Do I get more reputation points for it? Do I get more people on an Internet forum who I don't know to like me?

The dealership I bought the car from is in a rural Midwestern town with a population of less than 30,000 and a median household income less than the MSRP of a Type R. This wasn't the only dealership I was in contact with who had no waiting list and zero local demand. If you're largely shopping for this car in urban centers you're doing it wrong. If you're waiting for allocations to pop up on these trackers before you engage these dealerships you're also doing it wrong.
