That or, the car simply isnt worth what owners think its worth. Ive seen lots of people from all over try to get 34 or 35...it dont happen they give up trade at the 31 to 33 area. Its all its worth used.
It’s been sold to a very happy buyer in another state for our asking price. Thanks!

Nope. Its basic supply side economics. Here on the west coast, Type R's are scarce and the prices are HIGH. On the East coast, people are un-willing to keep the car for the winter season and the "new shiny" toy has lost its luster. A ton have shown up on the used market on the East Coast, and prices started high because of initial values were high. The price increase also pushed prices higher.

Carvana is buying 2018+ Type Rs on the west coast for a premium, a friend just let his blue one go for 35K too Carvana.

gjurrens: I think the offer you got for $35K was very reasonable. I just bought a brand new one for $36.6K. Why would I pay more for a used one? I doubt you will recover the cost of the $2.5K dealer "add-ons". And as you note, this isn't necessarily a popular color. Very few, if any, other current cars lose so little value initially, so count your blessings, take your loss and grab the $35K and run!
It’s been sold to a very happy buyer in another state. Both the buyer and seller are pleased with how things turned out. And my wife is thrilled that the Rallye Red car will soon be in her name, as soon as we get the title from American Honda.....

:thumbsup: Patience is a virtue. Watch what the MSRP $40k 2020 CTR will do to the preowned market. I think your buyer got a steal.

I totally agree, but you have to remember, we also have a brand new 2019 Type R in Rallye Red. The payments were "killer!" So we had to flip the Aegean Blue one in a reasonable amount of time. With the cash we got from the new owner (who is THRILLED!) and the check from the extended warranty company for the unused portion, we made out fine. OK, we took a bath on the "market adjustment" but that's the way it goes. My wife is happy and you know the old saying: "happy wife, happy life!" So, we have a clear title on the red one and I'm fixin' to put her USAF Women's Veteran license plate on the back!

I'm truly grateful for the many positive comments we received here on the CivicX board...nice folks!

BTW, has anyone seen the new color for 2020? BLUE!!!! ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
