I think for US, you can only get these from dealers. According to my sale guy, he said the price will likely be astronomical for a civic. Especially if it becomes the last edition of FK8.

Yeah all these 1000 deposits , curious how many are gonna back out once the price drops? I mean at end of the day other then color its the same type R basically.

It's not the same Type R it's a 1 of 100 you can say you own, that alone is worth the money. We Canadian's are very lucky to even have the opportunity to buy one. We usually get cut short on anything rare LOL..

The similarity of the car's composition makes little to no difference IMO. There's a reason why a pristine '97 ITR will bring in upwards of $80k now. It is essentially the same car as a 2000 or 2001, sans color availability. I believe that the limited production of this car will make a massive difference on its value 20+ years from now. I'm one of those idiots who had one of those pristine 97 models and parted with it a few years back.

The next few months will indeed be telling regarding the price announcement. I would consider reserving one if given the opportunity and if so, would begin using my current CW as a true daily.

Not me! Site opened up earlier (12:57 PM) than the advertised 1PM, all 100 for Canada were sold out by 1:02 when I tried to place the order

Sorry you missed out. Would have been cool. On the bright side, there are a lot of wonderful Type R's out there that will drive just about as well. And while not quite as rare, are still incredibly cool. I think one or more of these yellow beauties will come back up for resale as someone tries to make a quick buck. Keep your eyes open.

That's for sure! Bring A Trailer will likely have one listed right away lol.

$1K deposit on a car like that is nothing. that's one of the reasons it sold out so quickly. So are there any restrictions to reselling the car ,or your place in line? seems like a great way to make a few bucks flipping it .

So since the price is TBD , what happens if the price is more than one wishes to pay? Does one get deposit back?

Deposit is fully refundable. However the reservation can not be sold or transferred to others, which is fair.

Didn’t see any restrictions in the T’s & C’s about reselling after purchase.

Got the call from the manager at my dealer yesterday congratulating me on scoring one of the allocations after they got notified by Honda Canada. They asked me to confirm my legal name and home address. Perhaps a special gift is coming in the mail as part of the LE package.

Nice. Nobody has called me yet

He seemed as excited as I am. I would imagine that it would be a great promotional piece for their dealership as well, not to mention it would be theirs to do what they want with it if the car arrives and I bail out on the order for whatever reason. He said I’m the only one to choose his dealership out of the 100 allocated in Canada.

Sucks that you missed out! Would have loved to see it at the local 10thgen meets.

Congrats to all that managed to get one. I completely forgot about the date so I didnt even get a chance to try and reserve one

I hope the people who actually buy these actually drive the damn cars and not keep them as a museum piece when values inevitably spike up 15-20 years from now.

It's quite stupid to purchase something like this as an investment. Better off putting the money in an index fund if your intention is to make money. If you put $55,000 in an index fund today and got a 6% average annual return, you'd have $176,000 in 20 years. If you got a 8% return(which is what the s&p 500 has averaged over the past 63 years since becoming a 500 stock index in 1957), you'd be at $256,000 in 20 years. A civic won't make anywhere near as good an investment!
