Good point. Oh well, maybe I'll drop by in the area one time to see if they will be selling it for MSRP or not.
A buddy of mine went up a week ago and they told him they are starting the bids at $10k.
Oh man. 10k above MSRP is too much. Will have to keep looking then..
Interestingly enough I posted about Jay selling at MSRP, and having a red one available back on March 19th, and nobody even acknowledged it. I guess nobody cared then.
Yes, cars come from the factory with anywhere from 3-6 miles on it. Car has to be test driven on their track before it can get shipped to dealerships. Perfectly normal.
Will be taking delivery near end of April. Salesperson said 5 miles from factory and up to 5 more from dealer inspection? Is that normal?
That's incredible to hear MSRP during the original release month. I went through old posts on this forum of the first CTR owners. Someone right here in my city bought a CTR in June 2017 for $10,000 in markup (I speculate it was probably higher with accessories). That's got to make you feel good. I bought my CTR March 2019 and it was a hell of a time getting it at MSRP, took months. My brother same thing. It looks like FL and CA are the worst states to shop for a CTR.
At this point, you almost have to assume that it's collusion in FL and CA. All dealerships willing to have insane mark-ups and none of them will break for MSRP? That's almost assuredly a collective agreement, or at the very least a horrifying business practice given what Honda intended this car to be sold for its new owners. I hate it for those who are trying to buy in those states, but I recommend visiting a neighboring state to acquire your new baby and enjoying it sooner than later.
Quite a few slightly used ones in the classifieds section for less than MSRP to consider also.
and peace of mind vs buying used. Enclosed transport will be around $1400.
It took an enormous amount of legwork. I had actually given up, and this was a manager returning a message I had left 2 days prior. He was quite surprised when i insisted on giving him a deposit immediately.
I had several dealers in FL advertise below MSRP on both their website, Autotrader and CarGurus. When I showed up to the dealer the asking price was $2-10k higher than the price online. I would 100% call to confirm the price before visiting the dealerKen Wise Honda in Iowa is selling below msrp on the Type R.
