Yes! Private sale is the way to go. My car price got massacred by Carmax which usually gives better deal than trade in and other autobuyers.Sell it to someone here in California... Markups are still here for sure.
Here’s a 2020 shift knob close up. Seriously I can’t be the only one who thinks the 2020 knob is a step backwards, just like the front bumper plates that don’t compliment the rear ones in any way but the mustache or Nike swoosh that runs thru the with completely different styling to them.Not sure if this helps but all I have
After making the swap to the 2020 shift knob, I definitely prefer it over the 2017-2019 shift knob (with the 2020 shift knob locking nut), even without the shifter upgrade that drops it another ½".Here’s a 2020 shift knob close up.

I would definitely swap the shift knob for the Type-R upgrade knob immediately.
The 2020 has a lot I’m glad I missed buying the 2019 to customize (especially Honda sensing), but I am 1st in the list at my dealer for a 2021LE to add to the pile of toys. Still has the 2020 things I don’t like but I will keep it 100% stock with a sock on the pear so no one can see it unless I’m driving ?
I have to have a balance of form and function 1/2” shift height still isn’t measuring up. The car has tested slower than the 2019 at 4.9 (Highly touted by Honda) now 5..1-5.2 from the reviews I’ve read and Honda isn’t talking about 0-60 for the 2020 at all. I’m surprised no one noticed the acceleration was increasing slightly every year - 2017 & 2018, 2019 and now a slight dip in 0-60 times for the 2020 reviews when shifting matters. so short shifter or not it still a hair slower with shorter throws out of the factory.After making the swap to the 2020 shift knob, I definitely prefer it over the 2017-2019 shift knob (with the 2020 shift knob locking nut), even without the shifter upgrade that drops it another ½".
Honda never talked about the 0-60 time for the 2017-2019 models (a lot of reviewers actually asked for one and never were given one from Honda which is why there is a huge variance in 0-60 times for the car). The 4.9 comes from Motortrend if I'm not mistaken when also doesn't take into account rolloff so their time is closer to a 5-60 or a 3-60 time vs a true 0-60 time that you may see others reporting. So 5.1-5.2 as a true 0-60 is about where it should be. Most journalists were quoting low to mid-5's in the 2017 models.I have to have a balance of form and function 1/2” shift height still isn’t measuring up.

Apparently no BSM, RCTA, or parking sensors on the 2020. Sales guy thought they were on it but then couldn’t find them. Too bad, Europe gets them.I know we don't get the headlight washer fluid system in the US, but I guess we don't get parking sensors as part of the sensing suite? I don't see that toggle button on that button cluster to the left of the steering wheel.
Yeah I was hoping if they could add it to 2021 model if there is one. I have it on my accord (except PS) and they are very useful.Apparently no BSM, RCTA, or parking sensors on the 2020. Sales guy thought they were on it but then couldn’t find them. Too bad, Europe gets them.
So the only change was 90 grams in a Pear Over a Marble? Did you read anything?Those 90 grams really weighing the car down smh lost half a second 0-60 ?
I never considered the accessory knob as an upgrade to either the stock knobs (for both 2017-19 and 2020-21). For both setups it changes the shift feel, surprisingly in opposite directions. They're all kind of unique in their own way.So the only change was 90 grams in a Pear Over a Marble? Did you read anything?
I don't choose either one of those options, I prefer Honda manufactured improvements, If the 90 grams in the pear was so great why is there still the same upgrade shift knob from Honda for 2020? So, again- as my post was intended was to not be blinded by cuts and ads for a smaller price increase and just think oh faux swede instead of real leather, fake carbon ABS in the dash instead of upgrading to the real carbon fiber options offered by Honda and others. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, and to stay competitive they need to refresh some and make the customer feel value in things like Honda sensing (that most probably never want in their Type R, so they can give you less in other categories.
It's kind of ironic that you state this. The new 2020 shift knob is one of the few shift knobs I can actually shift very fast. The only other knob that I have that allows me that sort of dexterity would be the Spoon Sports Duracon.Those 90 grams really weighing the car down smh lost half a second 0-60 ?
0-60 tests will vary a lot for any car depending on numerous factors. I can show you videos where it took over 7 seconds for the 2019 to hit 60.Automobile Magazine (All from one source) : Just showing how unimportant the "short throw" is if you're still slower with it. Now we all know road conditions can be a factor but the changes weren't designed around the gearbox to make it a faster car when shifting is the most important factor (0-60), and we're talking 4.9 vs 5.4 which is substantial to 60 (Not all added features are there to make you faster). Add Honda sensing cheapen up some materials, throw in some braking and a larger opening in the grille.
