Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

[Sup_Devil]

Some honda dealerships are already starting to tell me they are "motivated to move the car" and "want to earn my business" the end of mark ups is near and one dealer told me to call them back when I return to my deployment citing "the market may be in your favor to get a great deal, maybe even to get below MSRP".

This is SoCal.

Keep hanging in there guys. The storm is coming.

Idiots keep messing up the game for the rest of us.....case in point I had a CW lined up for msrp plus a small protection package with tint so it wasn't a bad deal. Made appointment to see to today and drove over to check it out and they said someone came in right before closing last night and bought it for $5k over. Wtf!

Yeah if everyone could just stop buying it for an extreme amount over MSRP for like 2 weeks we’ll have solved the problem.

A fool and his money are easily parted. Its a car, no need to get emotional and pay more than its worth. Plus, you will need buy gap insurance if you are not putting at least 25% down at that price. Pretty much lose-lose scenario.

Yeah I was looking at $39k out the door which to me is a solid deal in the FL market. I have had many quotes over email for $50k before tax tag and title It's crazy. I could see if Honda had ceased production for next year but they look to only be ramping up the numbers!

Well my Honda dealer just got a CW in and they want $37,595

$655 a month lease for 36mo. LOL

Where is that at?

Got quoted $41,500 out the door from a dealer in California for a white CTR. Its temping, but soooo close to MSRP.

From a SoCal Facebook group. Checking with a few other dealers this seems to be the going rate:

Any color but white is $1500 over MSRP
Plus fees White is $3000 over plus fees

On the phone with this dealer all morning. Their offer was $36,490 on a red one. I'd have grabbed it, but they only deal with California buyers.

That's because they won't ship (fraud apparently an issue), and if I pick up a car in California I have to pay California sales tax — like, $3,000 — which sucks because Oregon has no sales tax on cars. Thanks, but I can buy a $40K Type R locally.

Have to say they were otherwise pretty reasonable.

Should be paying tax on the state you are registering the vehicle in.... I live in NC and got my CTR in Rhode Island and didn’t have to pay RI sales tax.

Yeah, I called BS as well but then looked it up. If you take possession in California, the dealer has to collect the tax!

CW for $7000 off LOL

What would be hilarious is if they put a pic of the window sticker on the listing with the actual msrp showing. Not that anyone who goes in to see it wont notice that. “Hey I thought the website says msrp is $45k this sticker says $35k”

Was about to say this, you don't have to pay tax at purchase, just where you register.

E: What?? Really?

That seems.... interesting. In other words, shitty.

EE: And actually that doesn't seem true, because you have to pay tax vehicle purchase in YOUR state to register the new vehicle. The dealer has to waive the registration of the vehicle and subsequently the tax of it, and when you go to register in your home state, you'll pay it there.

There's a temporary 'pass' (Transport permit) you'd get from the California dealer or DMV (temporary tags are placeholders for the state license plate, so not one of those), and then you'd have to go to your DMV as soon as possible to register.

EEE: To make sure I'd call the California DMV and specifically ask about the transport permit, and if it applies in this case (it should).

I bought my Pilot in CA. Had to pay CA tax 7.75 (higher in NV 8.25) when I took delivery. They provided transport permit. Had to pay the extra 0.5% when I registered in NV.

I'm curious what happens if the tax is the other way around... That's what my brain was stuck on. Also, I'm pretty sure that the tax that was collected on sale in CA is was routed to NV any ways once registration hits. If only there was a clear and easy write-up on this officially!

Thanks for correcting/giving info!
