Yep the greedy dealers are going to kill this car.I just stopped giving a fuck about this car. ADM on a Civic that knocks it up to $45K + isn't worth it IMO.

Did you try norm reeves honda in west covina they have 2 ctr's there red & black.Just a heads up. Went to Goudy Honda in Alhambra, California and they want $51k for a red Type R... smh
Just a heads up, I bought mine from Stockton Honda on Dec 22nd. Red 2018 CTR 11 miles when I sat down. I was talking to Rodney whos their "internet sales director". They had it listed on autotrader as "contact seller for pricing" and he and I talked for roughly a month, maybe once a week. Finally on Dec 22nd I told him me and my wife will drive over there right now and give you $38K plus tax and required fees. He said yes. So drove over there and out the door was a little over $41K. Of course sales tax here is a bitch, so factor that in.Got quoted by Stockton Honda (Stockton, CA) $42,800 for a CTR .
Honda of Serramonte (Colma, CA) wants $10k over MSRP.
I called shortly after you and asked for your deal. 'If you accept the offer, i'll put a deposit and fly out the following day.' However, it seems the owner at stockton heard what other people are actually paying at the other dealerships and is now wanting in on that party. My take it or leave it deal was the same as the guy you replied to.Just a heads up, I bought mine from Stockton Honda on Dec 22nd. Red 2018 CTR 11 miles when I sat down.

So I guess what I'm saying is that you cant take the numbers they give you too seriously. There are times when they get desperate to sell a car and if you offer them a way to sell a car today/right now it can sometimes cut through the BS.
Hey lawl, good to hear from you again. That's too bad. Maybe I got lucky because I went in a few days before X-mas and perhaps it was a little slow, and end of the year on top of that. Was really hoping Stockton would come through for you.I called shortly after you and asked for your deal. 'If you accept the offer, i'll put a deposit and fly out the following day.'

38k is about 3k over and it seems 5k over is an easy deal at most places. 42k plus tax is beyond what most people are paying even without having to drive out.
Yeah I think you caught them at a great time or they were still drunk from the holiday party or something.Hey lawl, good to hear from you again. That's too bad.

Someone bought it.Spoke with one of the local dealers here in ABQ, NM (Garcia Honda) and to say they are being crazy is an understatement- they are making $5k in accessories, ceramic coating, additional warranty, their financing, and a few other things mandatory. Out the door price comes out to about $48k after all is said and done. Absolutely crazy.
^ This is one of the better summaries I have seen on this whole situation of American Honda dealers and the CTR.. Its really sad to see all of this going on. Honda could loose many loyal and true customers with all of this unchecked dealership greed going on. To make matters worse, some of the smaller ethical dealerships who treat their customers better and do offer MSRP are only getting on or two CTRs a year, while many of the larger dealerships are just making matters worse for anyone who is truly interested in this car. Some ugly reads in this forum on how some of you have been treated.Yeah. I've been treated the same way by most of the dealers I've talked to as well in SoCal. A few were upfront and/or at least polite about it so I'll stay in contact with them. The others are written off. This isn't Honda America though. These are dipshit dealers. Clearly they're not used to selling a car in high demand because their arrogance is costing them customers for life, over trying to maximize the profit on one car sale. Stupid. They can charge all the ADM they want, they just don't need to be dicks about it and try to make you feel like an idiot... when it is clear you know way more about the damn car than they do. If Porsche dealers did this every time they launched a high demand car, they'd have no customers. Honda America isn't happy about the ADM and the way their dealers are treating people. They realize it reflects poorly on their brand, but in the U.S. there isn't much they can do about it. Car dealerships are stuck in the wrong century when it comes to customer service. There is a polite way to sell a high demand product for a huge markup and not be a total a-hole about it. They just don't know what they're doing.
I’ve tried saying this plenty of times, people give up too easily, or accidentally piss off someone at the dealership.Just a heads up, I bought mine from Stockton Honda on Dec 22nd.

So everyone on here who hasn't been able to get a CTR must have provoked the dealer in some way when they walked in the door? This is an absurd post certainly being polite helps but this is about dealer greed plain and simple killing them with kindness isn't going to change that.I’ve tried saying this plenty of times, people give up too easily, or accidentally piss off someone at the dealership.
Be as professional as possible when dealing with these people and always have a positive attitude. I got a dealer to go from 5k over to 700 over.
Basically the cost of shipping a car from a dealership too far to drive to and back.
When you call or visit a dealer, always try to find the guy that isn’t new trying to prove he can upsell you to his manager, get the vet that has been doing it for a while, he can assess the situation and try to work with you. Sadly, most salesman are new and don’t know shit about making a deal. They’re just waiting for the easy guy to get 10k over, so they can look like a hero to their boss.
if only that was the case.Be as professional as possible when dealing with these people and always have a positive attitude. I got a dealer to go from 5k over to 700 over.
