I'm still watching the thread but have stopped contacting dealers. I feel contacting the dealers without being true buyers, cash in hand creates false demand and ADM.
That being said, I've always been looking to buy second half 2018 but curious to see how the ADM plays out.
I do search...
It's coming and called V2X or Vehicle to everything. The FCC has already set aside the 75 MHz in the spectrum of 5.850-5.925 GHz for intelligent transport systems. Here's the Wikipedia page on it:

Instead of the 2 free oil changes, maybe ask for the first two scheduled maintenance services?
Or! Since there's no specification on which oil changes are free, request the 50k and 100k scheduled maintenance service be free.
I would have turned it around on him by saying, "Good. I think the numbered badges look tacky. I guess I'll wait for the 2018s." Then just stare at him waiting for a response.
It doesn't matter if I actually think the badges look tacky, what matters is that his sales pressure tactic was just...
So that's what they're doing with the blue one. Meanwhile it looks like Gunn has already sold a black, white, and blue one with another wave coming soon I'm sure.
I've decided to stop contacting dealers until April or May 2018, when I've planned to buy all along. I may be wrong but I think all the calls to the dealerships creates a false demand resulting in ADM. They might be getting 15-20 calls a day when it's the same 10 people and only 1 or 2 are in a...
Cheap ass checking in.
I have no intention on buying the '17 MY but I do have an interest in monitoring the market. I'm aiming toward a '18 MY purchase and I am confident this car will be as rare as any STi, RS, or R. In others words, it will not. Honda produced a bit more than 66,000 S2000s...
Which why if I can't buy an R at or below MSRP I'll be driving my current car until the wheels fall off then picking up a Model 3 at MSRP.
I honestly expect my current '10 Fit or the R to be the last internal combustion engine car I buy.
I love it! Gillman Honda of San Antonio has 2 listed in inventory. A blue 'on the lot' which I think is their first one and asking approximately $58k and a second one, Championship White 'in transit.'
When you really look at that list the points of contention are creature comforts unrelated to what the Type R really represents, a track oriented passenger car. While some may care about the beefier stereo system, I'm more interested in the LSD, the suspension, drivetrain. Other than the hp...
Gunn Honda San Antonio is getting a blue one in two weeks, so begining of August? This will be their second or third R. They received a black one in July (asking 10k ADM and was sold), already sold a white one (date unk/adm unk), and now the blue one in two weeks. I was informed there will be...
I don't know how accurate it is but the Honda Inventory website says there's still a black one at Gunn Honda. I wonder how long some of these dealers have these cars before they're sold.
