I sold my '21 with 600 miles for $46.5k to a used car dealer. Could have made 2.5k more if I'd sold through their consignment program, but didn't want to have to potentially wait a month for a buyer (turns out it sold in about a week).
I had traded my '19 in for a '21 last year (hence the low...
Cool, thanks for the info. Have you had a chance to track your car with the new wheels to see if any torque steer crops up under those conditions?
You mentioned it isn't possible to go wider than stock and maintain the ET60 offset; are there any wheels with the the stock 8.5" width that have an...
I've been doing some research into wheels/tires to try and downsize to 18s or 19s without creating torque steer.
My understanding is that, for tires, all these sizes are essentially equivalent in terms of total diameter:
XXX/30ZR20
XXX/35ZR19
XXX/40ZR18
For wheels, it sounds like whatever...
I recently bought a CW at MSRP from Doug at Mick McClure Honda. They even covered the price of shipping the car ~300 miles over to me. He and the dealership were super easy to work with, didn't have to haggle or negotiate at all. Who knows if they ever get another Type R this generation, but if...
Yeah, just sold it today. Got $43k from CarMax, which is actually a little more than I needed to cover the OTD cost of the MSRP Type R I found + shipping. So I'll wind up having spent ~$2700 in total to upgrade from my '19. Can't complain considering I needed new tires, rotors, and pads.
There's a lot of Honda dealerships across the country, so when you expand your search to be nationwide it becomes a lot easier. Even if only 1% of dealerships are selling at MSRP, you'll find one if you're willing to call a couple hundred of them.
I sold my CW '19 for $41k, and paid 3k to...
Got to disagree on this. When I decided to upgrade to a '21 a few weeks ago, I found 2 different dealerships selling at MSRP on my first day of searching. When I bought my '19, I found one at MSRP within a week or so. You just have to be willing to call around and not get discouraged by most of...
I traded in my 2019 with 4k miles to a dealer for $41k, and they sold it for $46k. Granted, it was basically in perfect condition, but the market is absolutely insane.
You can find dealers selling at MSRP out there, just have to call around. I placed a deposit on an MSRP CW 21 with a different...
No, I placed a deposit on the other car since I'm reasonably certain I'll be able to get 43k in the current market. And I'm not sure if they've sold my trade-in yet.
Is that an option? I've signed all the paperwork, paid for the new car, and given them my old one. I also did put down a nonrefundable $500 deposit, so even if they did reverse the transaction, I wouldn't see that money back AFAIK.
I recently traded in my CW '19 for a CBP '21 which is due to arrive the first week of August. A little while afterwards, I found a '21 at MSRP which was in the color I preferred, which I'd like to find a way to purchase instead if possible.
I'm posting to see if anyone has interest in...
Yeah, I'm not in CA haha. My '19 has 4.4k miles, but I've tracked it 4 times now, and it will need new pads and tires sooner rather than later. I bought the car in cash, so don't need to worry about pushing out a loan--I had saved ~$3k to upgrade rotors and pads, so I'm still staying within my...
I got an offer to trade in my '19 Type R for a '21 for $3k OTD. I need new pads and new tires fairly soon, so this seems like a good deal to get an entirely new car for a little more than the cost of new consumables. Only downside is the '21 is black instead of CW (and I love my current CW). Am...
Any guidance on
Oversized vs stock rear rotors?
R5 vs R7 compounds?
Primary usage is track days 2-3x per year. Other than that, I'll take it out on the street once every couple weeks just so it's not sitting around for months on end.
Oh, interesting, looking at the SDS again, I'm seeing it document an "initial boiling point" > 450F. Like you said though, I wonder if that is measured differently than the boiling point for DOT compliance.
@Centripetal That's interesting, where did you find the boiling points for the OEM fluid? I had seen the pH you mentioned in the safety data sheet, but hadn't been able to find wet/dry boiling points anywhere
@Lust Thanks for the info
Does this guidance on rotors apply to the original OEM parts as well? I read here that the front rotors need to be replaced at the same as the pads--is that not actually the case?
Thanks, I'll look into those as an option
If I flush brake fluid annually (I track 2-3x...
