Great pair! Still kicking myself for not picking up a CR back then.

The CR was an accident...

I stop by dealer to buy oil filter in 2008. Walked into the show room afterwards and saw a blue and a yellow CR. Wife went on a test drive and we went home with the yellow CR. That was her daily driver for the next few years. Now it has 60k on the ODO.

The most expensive impulse buy in our lives! ?

Have you looked at how much a 60k miles CR would go for nowadays? Outside its KBB

At one point in time, it did drop down to $27k.

I can only find these two 2021 sales comps...

damn, $100k for being under 1k miles, definitely close to never driven, storage collector. I guess I would be happy if you could get close to a 1-1 ROI, like the first link. You did get to enjoy the drives on the car, so that's a plus.

I will take a car doesn’t deprecate with low maintenance any day. ?
Here’s another crazily priced CR.

Stopped by my local dealer (1.5 miles from my driveway) to take a quick picture of my brand new LE. This dealer (Honda of the Avenues) has always been piss poor at communicating and following through with their word. I've tried giving them business twice (for both my CTR purchases), both times it was the same old story, getting jerked around, made promises, promises broken, no follow up, and a "get lost" attitude from the sales team.

The sales reps were quick to compliment my LE when I snapped the photo. I told them I wish I could have given them my business but their dealer likes to have their LE collecting dust on the showroom floor with a "not for sale" sticker on the dash. Their loss, not mine!

i wouldn’t have even stopped on their property. The place is trash. I was there a couple years ago and they were asking $10k over msrp for a blue one.

First foam cannon + wax in the books. I feel really lucky, I can't identify one chip, scratch, or imperfection on my paint or on my wheels. When I took home my 2019 Rallye Red, I came across a few minor imperfections, but my new LE seems flawless

Looks great. What wax did you go with? Did you fully prep/decontaminate? I still haven’t done anything with mine.

Mine has bird shit all over it but idgaf cause I’m fully PPF’d. Gonna get a wash tomorrow and take some pics.

I’m fully PPF’d

I love the idea of PPF, but at this point not sure that I'll get it installed. I'm fully aware of the benefits, but I don't anticipate on driving mine too much. For now, definitely tint, but I haven't ruled out PPF

What wax did you go with? Did you fully prep/decontaminate?

I use Meguiars Ultimate wash for soap, and their line of Ultimate Liquid Wax for protection finish. I pressure washed head to toe, then applied foam cannon 95% soap with brand new micro fiber mits. Blow dried with a corded blower 210mph blow speed. Finished drying with two big Chemical Guys microfiber towels, then applied heavy Ultimate Liquid Wax (as it is the first coat).

Removed wax with new microfiber towels, and that's where it stands
