  1. SOLD

    To think May of last year I saw a blue one in a dealer's showroom at pure MSRP. Sadly, they were closed Sundays and my daughter and I were bugging out of Connecticut heading home to California after a year of college. Now my 2021 Mazda 3 2.5T is on shore getting prepped. Tires half the cost plus...
  2. Civic Si vs Mazda 3 2.5T

    Sorry, guys, I've put in a pre-order for a Mazda 3 2.5T which is currently in a ship on the Pacific Ocean. Deal breaker was the tires. Bridgestone Potenza 215/45R18 are less than half the price Michelin 235/30R20 that the Type R takes, plus the Dublin Mazda guy is MUCH more responsive than the...
  3. Civic Si vs Mazda 3 2.5T

    Odd to slide over here because I'm shopping for a Type R at MSRP for the stick and power. Had to replace the solenoids on my 2007 Mazda 6 Sport Wagon with 212 HP. The HP drop definitely kept me out. Not sure what you can do about NA power - RX-8 rotary at 280 HP? A friend loved it on the track...
  4. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    Where was there a snowstorm at this time of year already?! Unfortunately now you'll have to deal with a different kind of "snowstorm" - all of the ash from various West Coast wildfires… :(
  5. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    Another addition to the naughty list. If I'm paying $5000 over MSRP, I'll get it locally: Good afternoon Philip, my name is Mirna Cartagena and I'm an Internet Sales Representative here at Findlay Honda in the Northwest. I will be assisting with your interest in the 2021 Civic Type R . The...
  6. CTR at (or below?!!) sticker NICE LIST!

    Not finding much in Vegas dealers. Contact chat support for one. Findlay gave me an ADM $5000 quote - I've added them to the naughty thread.
  7. CTR at (or below?!!) sticker NICE LIST!

    Honda staff at the San Francisco Auto Show told me it was a 50 state car, though. Smog might be just paperwork.

    Having found a blue one first Sunday of May in Groton, CT while taking my daughter home from the clutches of Mitchell College, I'm considering. Made much more sense when the car was transport from the East to West Coast. And, yes, we literally got hit by the risk with the Rabbit by a Monte Carlo...
  9. Test drive Type R

    I guess my mother and I looked good enough to a BMW dealer to let us drive off with a BMW 325 back in the mid-eighties. :) One challenge is how many people can drive a stick. CA and FL (why it's probably a REAL challenge for the originator of this thread) dealer markups which they hide from...
  10. Test drive Type R

    Nope, they charge above NEW MSRP for a USED Type R.
  11. CTR at (or below?!!) sticker NICE LIST!

    For those of you who are buying from out of state, have you considered taking a one way flight and driving it home yourself? My mother did that with both her '55 Chevy and '75 Rabbit, but both times she was starting on the East Coast from other travels and coming back home to California. Sadly...
  12. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    Where at? PM me if you think our demand might push the price upwards… Can't tell if like funeral directors when you offer cash they think they can pile on. We HAVE cash because we watch our spending! :)
  13. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    At one time, manufacturers made 49 state cars. Meeting California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements required upgraded equipment. Not so much so now as it's easier to just build a 50 state car. Not surprising that you're in Vegas, where you probably just have to talk to a few "friends" to...
