Greetings all!
A small back story, I used to own a 2014 Civic Si when I lived in Columbus Ohio, but I traded it in for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee when I moved to Miami in 2015. I feel comfortable now being able to drive a manual in this incredibly crazy traffic and I am looking to buy a Civic Type R.
I have a few questions:
I am wanting to add a few extras, body side molding, door guards etc, but as for interior options am I able to add lighting etc on my own after the fact or should I pay the dealer to do this? I would also want to upgrade the shifter to be wrapped in leather due to this insane Florida heat.
What price should I be able to expect? By this question I wonder what everyone else has paid? Have any of you had any luck adding extras for no charge into the out the door price? I have a guy who knows a broker that apparently has been able to do a great job for him and his friends on all sorts of car prices down here.
I am asking all of this because it seems like the Type R sells for around 31,000 USD in Canada. I would even consider buying the car in Canada and driving it all the way back to Miami. Especially to save thousands of dollars it would be worth it to me.
I am also torn because I am 36 and wonder if I should even be buying this car
Thoughts?
