Hi guys, I've been looking for a Boost Blue Type R for quite some time. I'm from Houston, but surprisingly greater Houston area dealers are asking for an average of 5K over sticker. I kinda thought the markup craze would be over but I guess not lol
I expanded my search to Louisiana and one dealer had quoted me around 40.3K (before taxes+fees). The only accessories I requested are the all-weather floor mats and the cargo tray. Frankly, this is about a $700 markup using Honda's car builder thing as reference. Also, their destination and handling fees are $1100 so I guess it makes it a $600 markup? I didn't take shipping into account, but I've read people have driven their out-of-state Type R's right home so I'll probably do that.
It's a significant improvement, but I just wanted some insight from the forum. Should I pay the markup, or keep looking for an MSRP deal somewhere else?
