What are you talking about? You already have a ctr.
LOL I should have been more clear ?

I was talking about aftermarket add ons (wheels, accessories, etc.). I was looking at oil caps, radiator caps, shift knobs that donā€™t freeze your hands whenever you need to do a late evening run to Target.

To add to this:
Honda of Bellingham got a 2020 CW for 52,949.
Klein Honda of Everett has a 2021 CW at 44k.
All those dealers keep hitting me with "These vehicles are very rare and sought after and other dealers mark it up more than we do"

Meanwhile Dover Honda in New Hampshire just sold one at MSRP quicker than they could respond to me haha.

I advise not to buy from any Bay Area dealership. Lowest I found was with Anderson Honda who was asking for $3k over MSRP but that was back in June/Jul. They probably want x2 now.

If you buy at those prices then you are going to fuel their cause to charge that much knowing that any desperate chump would come along and foolishly give away hard-earned money for nothing in return. You'll end up upside down and probably won't break even with it's used market value if you suddenly decide to resell it or trade it after a year or two. Dealer walks away with your money- they win- consumer loses.

Another issue we face in the Bay area is our standard of living. Look to buy out of state in an area where the standard of living is quite low. You'll probably get lucky to find one at MSRP.

I agree I definitely will not buy from the bay area unless its MSRP. Even out of state is still hard; Oregon, Washington, Nevada, AZ....all above MSRP. Might have to venture further out...

Just to give you an idea- I bought mine in Vermont and paid 1800 for shipping. MSRP no questions asked, no markup headaches.

The last time I saw insanity like this it involved an election.

Donā€™t hate the voter, hate the blame.

I was able to get a nice exhaust at the @Kami Speed website but it always seems their inventory of other items are always "Out of Stock". So disappointing.

Damn. I didnā€™t get a pro pack. Guess that makes me an amateur.
