I just came across this video on YouTube and found it pretty funny, some random Canadian dealer employees beating on a traded in CTR. Their commentary is painful but comical at the same time ("Type R is Hand-Built! Like the boat!")


I found the car at the dealer here:

I know in the grand scheme of things the car can handle the stooges beating, but just funny how flagrant they are given that they're dealer employees. Worth a laugh anyway I thought

sounds like they prefer it over the Evo.

The website says it has a black leather interior with red stitching... Interesting...

Not going to lie, was about to go see this car tomorrow... Having second thoughts now after the video, what do you all think? Would something like this deter you from buying the car?

I'd buy it provided the dealeship gives me a 100,000 mile warranty on the tranny and a decent discount. The guys driving it probably didn't do more hooning than an owner or newbie driver would do when getting in the CTR but still, I'd want the assurance and price discount on this car.

Once you're past the break in period of the car, there's really very little you can do to really damage the car until it's in a high mileage state. As long as they warmed the car up properly and didn't money shift or do some harsh shifts the car should be perfectly fine. If they dropped the clutch at every stop light I'd probably just ask for a new clutch and a 100k tranny and motor warranty. I'm sure the previous owner hooned it around more than sparingly as well.

Send the video to the dealer, everyone loves a video review of a used car.

Lol they're beat on too, any performance car (except a Porsche or their ilk-with some rich guy / lawyer ordering the car-the dealer is scared of) is gonna get beat on by the car wash guys and the "PDI" guys, and the "take it to get gas" guys, lol.
In other words, any nice performance car when delivered is like a doorknob "everyone gets a turn".

That's the mystery of buying a used car, either get a car with gremlins or a steal. With a new car at least you know whats been done to the car.

But hey, if your in the market for a used CTR and ran into this video. It's a good thing so you will have leverage on making a deal.
