Congrats! I have pretty much given up and will end up with an RF instead. I'll be keeping my ST for DD.Yeah norm reeves Cerritos wanted 46100 and wouldn't budge a single cent. I offered them 46k otd and they denied me on Sunday after waiting 30 mins or so for my trade in value, running my credit, etc. they wouldn't even say yes or no or even tell me that the price is non negotiable until all was said and done.
It's almost impossible to find one 5k or under in socal currently. I literally drove like 400-500 miles over this weekend. You'd have to catch them in a very desperate need of sales or it's most likely pre sold and contracted out like you said.
If you don't mind waiting or you shop out of state you'll definitely get the price you want. it's just a matter of time and if you want to wait or not.
as some of you guys know here, after many weeks of dealing with dealers and especially after this weekend, the amount of stress/frustration dealing with these dealers wasn't worth the few k in savings for me. I started offering 6-7k and started getting bites when at 4-5k I was getting close to no leads.
I ended up just biting the bullet yesterday and paid 7500 with some accessories. Was more than what I initially wanted to pay but it had some stuff I would've gotten anyways so to me it was worth the extra "mark up" to not have to deal with this kinda bs. In the end I have lost the battle but at least I am glad to say the hunt is over.
It's ok, atleast you got that awesome car. It's well worth the markup. People been having negative comments on me spending over 40k on a Civic. But I told them if they actually driven the car and the amount of attention that it gets from car enthusiasts and average people that it is all worth the markup paid.
My man finally got his ride!!! Congrats! Just add gasoline of you chose and start enjoying!Yeah norm reeves Cerritos wanted 46100 and wouldn't budge a single cent.

Same thing happened to me! When I saw the polished metal I was a convert. That's a beautiful piece of machinery in its most flattering, natural color. Transformers quality
We all know time is money. I just decided to go with the "buy now, regret later" lol. The amount of time/stress i put into trying to find one as you guys know was not worth the few thousand in savings(i was already initially offering 4-5k+). Never thought in my life, I would buy a car without a test drive lol. Let alone pay 40k+ for one without a test drive.
I've only driven it 30-40 miles home on the freeway so i haven't driven it much yet. But half throttle in 6th gear and you can FEEL the torque kick in and car wanting to move. it definitely feels much faster than my SCed 9th gen. Not to mention, going 80 mph on the freeway and the car feels absolutely planted. Haven't driven enough to really compare to my modded S2k w/ Aero.My man finally got his ride!!! Congrats! Just add gasoline of you chose and start enjoying!
EDIT: is the CTR all it's crapped up to be? is it up to your expectation?
That's the highest I seen so far! R-05497 ranges!! Wait until it hit 13000... DONEJust got another in!
Wow $7k over, East Coast you get MSRP or $1-2k over.. at most.
yes, You'll find a lot more about the car that will amaze you
...S2k and CTR parking issue is all yours...can't help with that one..
yeah... those prices don't exist in socal. If I consider the plane ticket, car transportation, time spent going to carmax to sell my trade in, time spent going to dmv to register the car in CA, along with the slight mark up, it probably won't be as much but it'd be close anyways. I'm sure with time, the price will go down. I just wasn't willing to wait any longer.
yeah looking forward to it and seeing how it compares to the S2. Right now looking into building some kind of a roof over it so it doesn't at least get direct uv light from the sun lol.yes, You'll find a lot more about the car that will amaze you
Me too if I don't end up with a CW next year...my neighbor's got a really nice red NSX with full body kit and BBS LMs...he is eye my FK8 like crazy!
Norm Reeves is a fucking joke. Jerked me back and forth for 3 weeks about their R's they had in shipment. Told me the best they can do is 5K ADM. Now I see they added a bunch of bullshit options to the total. Smh fucking crooks man.Yeah norm reeves Cerritos wanted 46100 and wouldn't budge a single cent.
