Congrats! That’s a bad ass ride also. Why did you want to trade the CTR? I assume you plan to sell the CTR outright? You’ll never get the money trading in you deserve. Car dealerships are generally on commission, for example one dealership I worked for even the appraisal department made commission low balling trades and we would low ball below their low ball. It’s the nature of the business to give you as little for your car as they can and sell you the new one and as many extras as possible for as much as possible. I saw the Pilot BE at the dealership when I went to buy my CTR last year. They said they had it months earlier than anyone else. They had 2 come in the day I was there negotiating my purchase and they had both sold with 25k ADM on both before I purchased mine. Both buyers had no issues with the ADM. I was talking to them both and was blown away they didn’t have any heartburn paying 25k over sticker. The CTR is my 1st new Honda and always been a big Nissan fan. Do new or less common Honda’s always get ADM thrown on them? I mean even when I went to buy my GT-R I was able to at least get a small discount off sticker.

Beaty of a cabin by the way too.

Hold up. What? 25k over sticker? Are you sure it is not 2.5k? This sounds absurd to me

Thanks, the original plan was to trade the type r for the ridgeline because I just bought the log cabin and it's on a gravel road. I decided to make the type r the weekend/summer car instead of trading.

I was going to trade for the tax credit but I'm keeping it.

Thanks, we just bought it and we love it.

Yes I’m 100% sure. It was November 2019 and they said they were one of 2 dealerships in the country that had the opportunity to get them months early because of the volume they move. It was definitely $25k I was floored by the mark-up myself, all the CTRs were marked $10k ADM. that’s why it was an all day event for me to get the pricing at sticker. I had other dealerships in the area willing to do MSRP on the CTR but they were the only one around with the PMM I wanted. I had the numbers and everything from the other dealership at MSRP but it was still a headache to get the PMM at MSRP. They had 3 black ones and kept trying to push a black one on me and I’m like I’m only here for the PMM black isn’t an option.

I can see the 2021LE CTR marked up $25k minimum I could even see some at $40k because not every dealership will even get one so I’m sure they will sit until they sell they aren’t going to not be limited edition if they sit for a year to sell.

They were feeding you BS trying to get you over sticker. People in California don’t pay that much over sticker, much less Ohio.

That pictures called living the dream right there... nice!!! Congrats on the new ride in a nice looking stable there

That’s illegal price gouging. I’d want to see proof some brain dead person paying essentially 60k for a stock type r. Maybe a built engine big turbo and fuel system with clutch car but now way pay 60l or more for stock. I seen recent a shop had production number below first 10 and he wanted 42k. I think it was number 4. I’d sooner see someone buying that.

its not illegal, and yes the world was a different place before the pandemic.$10,000 ADM was very common last year. Why do you need proof? Many dealerships put ADM on vehicles.

Ohio is the 7th largest state in the US by total population and one of the smaller states, not like we live in corn fields.

Nothing illegal about ADM.

It sucks, and I refuse to pay it, but that doesn’t make it illegal.

I frequently see ADM of $10-20k over sticker on Ford Shelby’s and Raptors, especially the special editions.

 

[dwag0588]

Population has very little to do with cost of living. Wages and living expenses are far lower in Ohio than California. That’s why the Cali dealers get away with some of the worst markups seen in the naughty list thread.

Glad you kept the R. Also adding the truck, I am jelly ??

Local dealer in Scottsdale got 'only' $ 5K ADM recently for two 2020 CTR's. I still think that is $ 5K too much. But I paid $ 35 for a CPO 2018 with 13,800 miles on it in April. $ 35K is at or a hair above the MSRP in 2018 lol.

Per CarGuru, this was actually a fair market price. And I did get excellent financing, etc. But the tough part was getting lowballed on my SI. 2017 with 52,000 miles granted a tad high, and they would not do much better than 13K. Which even allowing for profit, was $ 2K low IMO. But they held firm. And since it wasn't exactly free and clear, not much point selling it privately. So yes, you can get reamed on a trade. But you can get a fair deal on a 2018 or 2019 now. 2020 CTR?

Probably not.

Love those Ridgelines, enjoy.

I was thinking of selling my 18' CTR but kept getting offers the same amount as carvana would give. Sometimes I want to sell sometimes not.

 

[Cornercarver]

My vote is keep it. But that's me. I don't know too many other cars - if any, that I can drive 35 miles though streets and highways in total comfort, and still have a blast when the opportunity presents itself. Like every turn, every merge, every pass, etc. Lots of fast cars. Lots of comfortable practical cars. Not too many that are both. This is the sweet spot. I thought the SI was, but they would need to upgrade the seats for starters. The rest is easy to fix aftermarket with a tune. And even stock was usually fine on power. Usually, not always. Even with AZ heat soak, the CTR always seems willing.

How special is the CTR? I parked next to a 911 GT3 that had won some historic races and had an
amazing wrap on it. The driver got out, and started gushing about...not his rare 911...but my Honda. Because car people know. Very nice guy, we talked cars for a while. So yeah, keep your '18 CTR.
