What this dealer wanted for an FL5!

[Nightshifter]

I got my '21 at MSRP...and they gave me all but $400 of what I paid for the '19 Si that I traded in, so I don't think they 'got me' on the trade.... Best deal I've ever done.

Cool! Don't digress to an FL5!

I wouldn't think of it. I LOVE the styling of the '21 and earlier. To me, it's more badass and wild looking. The FL5 makes it tame. Out of the many vehicles I've owned in my lifetime...this is my favorite one. To paraphrase Rick Astley - Never gonna give it up (unless someone wants to donate an exotic sports car & the $ to maintain it

Made a vow to myself to never bid real money on a Honda Accord - I walk the hard line you can't tempt me good sir. (even though it's in arguably the best color ever made, SGP)

He must have had to be the first kid on the block to own one...then instantly regretted it.

Hilarious - I think I said earlier in the thread (if not, I've said it elsewhere) that the second buyers of these cars aren't going to pay anywhere near enough to justify paying the ADM price the dealerships are asking. Even if this guy bought the car for $68k, drove it for a few years and kept it mint with lower mileage, how much of a loan is the average second buyer for the car willing to take out? $60k? Doubt it. $55k? Doubt it. $50k? I still doubt it. I just see that markup evaporating rather quickly. And we are at this point already apparently.

Look man, alls I'm saying is I got this mint 2021 that I'll GIVE away to you for
$65,000 (throwing in barely daily used floormats too! $$)- a legit bargain over an arguably uglier 2023. And that's MONEY in your pocket dawg $$$ Like at least 4k saved going this route.

HMU I have a LOT of interest on this monster from Japan*

Lol he's only 30k away from a Tesla plaid...used with the same mileage. A high 13 second civic compared to a low 10 second car...unmodified.

Yea if people wanted to not drive stick then you might have a point. You are looking at two different markets. There are people like me that still want to drive standard and would say fuck your tesla.

Id agree with you on stupid mark up price though.

To be fair, I'd pay 65k for a Type R just to not drive a Tesla. :X

I only chew double mint. I saw tesla go fast but they cant brake worth a shit. Because they are heavy and cant turn worth a shit.
