Hi bretts911,Hey thebrx,
I just bought a CTR a couple of weeks ago, and there indeed are dealers out there selling them below MSRP. The markets appear to be remarkably different from city to city and state to state, so you may have to travel a bit to get the right deal. You may want to start with CarGurus and search within about 500 miles. It helps if you are flexible on color. of course. You will have to make lots of phone calls and endure lots of people telling you that there were only 200 Type Rs made in the entire universe, but it is worth your time investment. I had to go to Florida from Birmingham, AL to get my car.
I suggest going to the KBB site and find the current KBB Fair Purchase Price. The current KBB FPP for a new 2019 CTR for my zip code shows $35,275. Use that price as a reference when you are talking with dealers. That should be a fair price for both parties. You will speak to LOTS of morons before you finally get someone who knows something about cars. I called over 20 dealers, and the ones that actually were interested in selling a car called me back. Expect the process to take the better part of a month, and expect lots of frustration. Best of luck to you!!
Thank you very much PEPSIFLAME.Vandergriff, in Arlington had 4 for below MSRP. The other 8 had "options" that were marked up anywhere from $800 - $1200. However, they weren't sticking to those markups too hard. I didn't fuck with sales people though. My buddy bought his car from the GM, directly. After he got his, he took his mom to get her car and worked with the GM and then took me up there to meet him. I think he said he went through Car Guys or Car Pro, something like that, and the GM contacted him personally. I'd start there.
Anyone who says you can't find a CTR under MSRP or that dealers will only have a few is completely lying to you. Vandergriff had 6 out in the open, 3 inside, 3 outside. The rest were in the back of the lot. Freeman, in North Dallas, also had 7 on the lot, 4 for under MSRP. AT the time, 3 of those had pending deals. John Eagle had 5 on the lot, but I didn't go to them at all.
Thank you very much PEPSIFLAME.
I see online that Vandergriff has two new type R and a used one. I'll call tomorrow. Freeman has only one but it has the sonic grey color that I really don't like. I'll give them a call too to see if they have more than what is published in the website. John Eagle has none in the website so I'm surprised you saw 5. I'll try here too.
Thanks again.
This is exactly what I had to do to find mine. I probably emailed 20+ dealers before I found one in Indiana and had it shipped to me in AZHey thebrx,

Ya...I like how it's shorter but I like the knob shape of the last model a little more.Is this the new shift knob? If so, its just more teardrop shaped... that’s lame...
Which dealer in Indiana did you buy from?This is exactly what I had to do to find mine. I probably emailed 20+ dealers before I found one in Indiana and had it shipped to me in AZ
Hare Honda. Another forum members bought a CTR here for 12% under MSRP and had posted something saying they had one left so I emailed them and they said they wouldn’t give me 12% but they would give me invoice.Which dealer in Indiana did you buy from?
I haven’t been to that dealership, but it is only a 15 min drive from where I live. I’ve been in a few dealerships around Indy in the last couple months and they all have 1 or 2 type Rs that sit for a awhile before they sell. They all still put a 5k “market adjustment” price tag next to the window sticker. But it sounds like nobody is still stupid enough to pay 40k .Hare Honda.

Yeah I think all dealers still put up the market adjustment but it shouldn’t be too difficult to get them down.
