In my search for a CTR, I had a dealer tell me today that Championship White was... quite rare. I was told that there were only 100 CW cars made for the 2019 model year (US market) and as a result they marked the car up considerably.

Can anyone confirm this figure? Are some colors produced more than others?

I’m with ExVTEC don’t go back to them, I’ve gone to a few dealerships with my current type r and they don’t know the difference between their head and their ass hole sometimes.

Championship white 2017-current
Crystal black 2017-current
Ralle red 2017-current
Polish metal metallic 2017-current
Aegean blue 2017-2019
Sonic grey pearl 2019-current
Boost blue 2020-?

This is specific to us market only, others vary.

Championship White is probably the most popular color, due to it's heritage. That doesn't exactly make it rare. Check fk8registry.com and see for yourself how many CW's make up the FK8 population.

I was told black was super rare... It's all BS to try to get you to buy.

That salesman is going to sell you a lot more stuff if you fall for it. I hate some of these sales tactics because they are unnecessary, and in some regard deceiving. Either find a different salesman or go to a different dealer (and don’t tell the next salesman/dealer what this dude was telling you hahaha).

Dealers definitely do markup by availability - my closest store wanted more for Black, but sold Metallic Gray for retail.

based on my experience of owning S2000CR GPW ( Grand Prix White) fetch alot more then the other color variations long term. I defintely think 10 years down the road, CW Type R will also fetch for more....long term hold....
