You can actually make back the 25k ADM pretty easily guys -


Since this thing can be insured as a honda Accord you can save $$ every month to offset the ADM.

Nothing more than you have seen. Wait a couple of weeks, i'm sure some magazine will rip one around. I want Nurburgring times. I want to see if FK8 is still faster than FL5. They took FL5 on the ring, never posted a time. I would think if it beat the FK8 time they would have used it for a marketing pitch like they did for Suzuka.

Man you should post more often lol Good to have a Honda guy with his input here

Stopped by after breakfast to the dealer down the street from my house, rival dealer from the one I work at to check out their boost blue FL5. We have ours listed for $74xxx right now ($25k markup), they have theirs listed for $61xxx ($15k markup). Sales manager said all the dealers are calling each other right now trying to figure out how much to mark them up, no one knows. So far as they can figure, all the dealers are doing like a $15k markup as a starting point with the idea that they will negotiate that markup down when paperwork is in front of a serious buyer.

They still have theirs 72hrs after getting one. The FK8s had a 10+ person wait list and were gone same day, they never saw the showroom. The fact we still had our red one and they still have their blue one and its the FIRST one we got says alot. Sales manager said a lot of people are calling around checking prices with other dealers, so far everyone inquiring has cold feet. All the current FK8 owners are opting to keep their FK8s lol.

That's interesting. Did your dealer ever sell FK8 CTRs without ADM in the past?

Funny enough, I found that almost all the dealers around here that were "sticker only, no ADM" throughout the entire life cycle of the FK8 absolutely CAVED when they got their LE allocation lol this includes the dealer I bought my '21 from for sticker. There were maybe 1 or 2 in the northeast that I stumbled across that actually sold their LEs at sticker. Not sure if that trend will carry through with the historically "no ADM" dealers.

But $15K+ markups were laughable even with the FK8. Most people I've spoken to/read that did pay a markup were between $3-5K. Plenty of people even got theirs at sticker during the pandemic. While annoying and time consuming, it wasn't impossible if you were willing to call around.

its what ive been wanting to know too. But the civicxi forum is calling us babies for wanting that information and exclaiming; who cares about it while explaining away that times dont matter. In the world of performance cars, times always matter. Cuckoo land.

When the Fk8 came out in 2017 this was what the market was asking for the first round. $25k+ adm in Cali and about $10k-$15k adm everywhere else.

There were 2 FL5s at the nürburgring today. No other cars. They might be trying it now.

Man oh man that Honda Accord is F-L-Y-I-N-G!!! I hope they took the car seat out first - for safety.

Interesting if this is true btw, as it shows they probably watch boards like this more than they admit (Honda) - and are seeing people asking repeatedly where the Nurburbring time is. I hope it is faster to justify the According of the Type R but I still love my Voltron.

Yeah most moved on the Supra I noticed.

I’m not sure that the ADM will really work out well for the first owner. How many people will be willing to pay an absurd markup when they buy one used?


How many banks will be willing to finance the car for these amounts for buyers without large down payments? (New and used)

These things would all have to be mint condition garage queens to hold that type of resale value 5-10 years from now and I don’t see that happening. There just aren’t enough people out there who will spend $55-$65k on a used Honda civic.

just my opinion
