Mud guards don’t matter if the car cant be delivered!

Man dude....I can feel your passive aggression behind your comments today lol...try and hold on man, I know it's easy for me to say. Logistics sucks and as unfortunately as it is literally no one can do anything about it

No passive aggressiveness- just calling it like it is. So long gone is the time of just straight up getting the job done at all costs and honoring commitments. Maybe my own shortcoming to struggle with that or theirs for coming from a different gen where its ok not to honor commitments. Maybe im an old hard liner, maybe im overthinking and at the same time I know Id bend the world to make sure my customers are taken care of….

I think I remember an earlier post about mud guards not being available. The buyer was advised to get back to the dealer about it so their mandatory accessories package could be changed. Will update this post with a link if I find it

My CF wing has been here since 11/6. This is not just "nothing anyone can do about it." This is Honda severely dropping the ball. New Zealand has their cars and Florida doesn't. They are the ones that over promised and under delivered. I work for a fortune 500 company all of you know in their supply chain shipping division. I would be fired if this was my project. Matter of fact we get shipments of large freight from FL to Cali in 5-7 days. And containers from Cali to FL in the same amount of time.

I definitely should have phrased better. Not that "nothing anyone can do" but none of us In here have the power to go make something happen. It'd out of your control, my control, and anyone else on this forums control to make the change happen. Try not to lose sleep over it. Complaints are necessary and should be filed, but my overarching point which didn't come across well was to try and hold on and be patient as hard as that is. You don't have control to make anything go faster than it is right now so best you can do is wait it out.

Unfortunately spamming about a failing system won't fix anything here.

oh no I have no interest. I’m just saying dc has like 12 cars and they’re not selling.

If you're basing this off the Type R finder it's likely inaccurate. Many places in my area that still pop up on that map have already sold their cars and they've been delivered. Might just be a few day delay getting the systems to update.

Yep. I picked mine up on Saturday and it’s still showing at the dealer this morning.

I had to share this funny conversation that I had with the sales manager at one of my local dealers on Saturday:

Me: Hi, I was just checking in to see if you were able to budge yet on the CTR ADM?

Dealer: No we actually just sold it for 22k over. They are picking the car up now.

Me: 22k over? That's mind boggling.

Dealer: Not really. They financed for 84 months to spread out the cost

So people are not only paying crazy ADMs, but also financing at extended terms for god knows what rate? I can't wait for low mileage examples to start popping up, lol.

Hey I did 84 months to keep my minimum payment as low as possible. That loan will never see the 36th month.

i'm going with cars.com and emails i'm receiving from the dealers. Cars have been here for a few weeks and most dealers in nothern va has 1 in stock.

Total Loan Amount	$66,000.00​
Sale Tax	$4,620.00​
Upfront Payment	$4,920.00​
Total of 84 Loan Payments	$80,724.31​
Total Loan Interest	$14,724.31​
Total Cost (price, interest, tax, fees)	$85,644.31​

Imagine paying 15k in finance charges taking out a 60k+ loan over 84 months on a depreciating asset. oof

I just purchased a boost blue in Georgia. $56k out the door.

I know I know.. most of us talked about not paying a dime more but I just could not walk away and losing the chance to own one, possibly for a very long time. Anyway you look at it most dealers either have a list of buyers for msrp or have the huge adm or both. So for me since I was right in front of it and markup was not so big I thought that was my only shot. I was also first inline for it here.

I do agree that paying markup sucks but when you do drive the car you forget about it.. lol

Boost blue does look good in person.

I think this is a fantastic post and it sums up the FL5 market to a tee.

I would have done the exact same thing. Yup the markup sucks and you hate to be part of the problem but fuck it! If you don’t buy it the next guy will and you get to sit on the sidelines and reminisce about the time you could have bought a brand new BB CTR for only $56k.

I mean I’m not a fortune teller or nothing but I don’t think that you‘re going to be parking your FL5 in a parking lot next to another one all that often during your ownership. Like @savagegeese posted earlier in the thread Honda has pretty much set their production numbers for this car. For Honda this is a halo car of sorts and they probably want to keep the numbers low for exclusivity anyways.

No I can’t and will not…lol!

Not going lie, the finance guy kinda changed his demeanour towards me when I told him I wanted 84 months. I was about to explain to him the loan had zero chance of seeing term but I kinda loved the feeling of being wrongfully judged. I’d much rather have people underestimate me than not in most aspects of my life. Hahaha.

So the cars are arriving to port in the states but are stuck do to shipping constraints in the US? Sounds like a US problem and not a Japan one, and obviously not a New Zeland one either.
