Hey everyone, I finally joined the Type R club last week! I've been drooling over the Type R since 2002, and once they came to the US, I knew I'd eventually have one.

The best part is, I owned a 2019 and a 2021 all in a span of 4 days lol!

The first pic is the 2019 I picked up from Carmax. It was great but I really wanted something new, considering most people don't take as good care of their cars as I do, and because I always worry about what bolts someone might've left loose or snapped prior to me owning the car.

Carmax allows a 7 day return policy that allows you to return a car to any Camrax for a 100% refund, so after picking up the 2019 I started scouring dealers in CA to see if I could find someone with a new one that wasn't marked up 10-20k.nAs luck would have it, 4 days later I was able to make a deal with Long Beach Honda. They sold the car for MSRP, so I drove the 2019 CTR down there, bought the 2021, hopped in the 2019 and drove it down the road to the Torrence Carmax, returned it, then caught an Uber back to the 2021! Lol, all of this happened last Thursday after a 4hr drive, barley making it to the Carmax with 15mins to spare before they closed. Everything worked out perfectly, it was definitely meant to be.

The plan is to keep it mostly stock, but we know how that goes.

Below are pics of my WRX and Mustang GT, both were built and tuned for for Redline and Global Time Attack Street Class competition. The WRX was a modest build, pushing about 300whp. the mustang was running on the Ford Performance power pack stage 3, making about 495hp at the crank and a redline of 7500!

I definitely won't be tracking the CTR, at least not any time soon. I will absolutely be changing out the wheels to something lighter and with a little more sidewall. IDFK yolo

Congrats was the 2021 new or gently used? What was the cost to pry it from the low inventory at the dealerships?

Brand new! Only 8 miles on it. It came with 4k in add ons, like the pull 3m paint protector package and a handful of other little accessories. They charged msrp plus the cost of those things, no added markup or anything. Those things it came with are all things i wanted anyways so i kinda lucked out finding one with it all done already

it was 44k ish before tax

What accessories did they add have the addendum? The paint and interior package is something they add as markup and rarely have to warranty on. It’s just the dealership saying they added paint or interior package and will warranty against stains and fade. That said 44k is still decent in today’s market.

My car had 10k ADM and I think 2k for paint protection package. I could have had sticker but I paid 2k for the PMM. They had 2 of the Red & Black and that was msrp, but I wanted the PMM enough to take it home.

I actually made the deal over the phone thinking i was offering a plain ol markup but got there and realized they just wanted msrp on everything. It was the clear 3m film on: full front bumper, hood, fenders, door handles, side mirrors, door edges, trunk tailgate area. It also had wheel locks, cargo tray, and something else I’m not recalling. Part of the package deal was the extended honda warranty and some other thing. I know these are things they make like 1000x their cost on but for me it was better than paying a markup for nothing in return. I really wanted all that 3m stuff, the locks and the tray. So I probably paid like $1500 for extra stuff I didn’t care about. Lol these guys wanted it for this price plus a 15k markup lol! They have the yellow LE priced at 99k! Hahahahaha

Sounds like a great deal.

Yeah in this market I consider myself lucky. I sold my tacoma for the same price i paid 3yrs ago. Which was probably 4-5k over a normal market so in a way i feel like i sorta cane out ahead a bit

I don’t care how bad I wanted a CTR I would never pay 40k for a 2017 with 65,000 miles. ?
Haha yeah the used market is wild. I bought the 2019 for 42k with 20k miles. I considered it fair since it had tint and a roof wrap, there was like 1k of stuff on it that i wanted. But to pay the same for new, there’s no beating that

I'm almost surprised the '21 dealer didn't offer you more for the '19 in trade-in than you paid through CarMax. Regardless, you did pretty well considering that you wanted a lot of those accessories. Enjoy.
