What was the purchase price of your vehicle? (Vehicle ONLY, no TTL).

Really wanted a Type R but this current market is out of control. So I decided to find a Hatchback Sport Manual to use for daily driver and light track duty until the Type R is more obtainable at MSRP.

Little did I know that the Sport is almost as hard to find as a Type R!

Luckily I found this forum and learned a good bit about dealer allocations, ect.

After lots of searching and countless dealership calls, I have finally found a 2018 Civic Hatchback Sport Manual in White on a dealer allocation and placed my deposit. Should be looking at a mid October arrival date.
Sport is actually harder to find than the R. The only reason people can't/won't buy an R is because of markups. Welcome to the manual Sport hatch community. Well, when your car finally shows up anyway.

If anyone is still looking for one, check autotrader. They seem to be stacking up now.

The availability of the SI's is probably lowering demand for the Sport Hatches.

I just don't like the coupe or sedan bodies. Glad I got my hatch.

409 in the country right now, so a lot easier to get one now than the past 6 months if anyone is looking for one.

Compared to when I was looking and 4 months ago when I purchased, that's a LOT. I don't remember ever seeing more than 70 something at one time.

Yeah it took me over a month to get one and I was willing to drive a long way.

2018 Civic Sport Hatch
I was looking for a blue Sport hatchback in my area and all the 2017's are gone. So I put down a deposit for a 2018 and looks like it might be here mid November. So my excitement is now brewing :D
