Those are seriously the 2 colors I'm torn between. Red looks sooooo god in the Type R with all the black accents and color just pops out. But I'm going to go with the Champ White just because it's the heritage color and I've always wanted a real Champ White Type R. I'm big purist lol.
There is a red one at Hoehn Honda which should be close to you. It isn't in the showroom but instead sitting in the back near the service bays. Just ask a sales person to show you. Man if it is out of sight, these cars are left dirty (well at least at this dealership). BTW...they were asking too much for it.

Yep, Hoehn Honda is down the street from where I live. Yeah I know about it but there's no way I am going to pay their asking price and they won't budge for MSRP so I guess it will sit there for a while.

Good to know I'm not only one facing/faced that dilemma. Do you regret going with the CW over the Red?
a little of a no because i have a red integra to ease the temptation

but there's 2 red ctr in my city...that really doesn't help me ugh

in the end, white still is the traditional #1

hearing other old timer ITR owners as well, they also say the red is the second best ctr color

i agree. so either way you win. white. red. you're good man!

They can ask anything they want. The dealer I bought from was asking $7k over. We settled at $1k over. It’s a free market, that’s how it works. You don’t have to like it but if you want a car start negotiating and be prepared to walk out. I walked out twice and politely told them no over the phone twice as well before they reached the point I was willing to pay.

I think there are 3-4 red ones in the SD area sitting on lots. I'm 5 mins from Hoehn as well, but they're asking the most from what I can tell of the SD dealers. Not fully sure, as I don't get that far with any of them because none are at MSRP yet. I think Hoehn is asking $10K, but that ship sailed. I imagine they'll sell for a $2K-$5K ADM range these days. I've waited so long at this point that waiting longer for MSRP doesn't phase me anymore.

I'm kind of there too.. The best ive gotten has been 5K over for a metallic one.. May just wait a little longer and get the CW when one eventually comes along closer to me. They cant ask for inflated prices forever... can they hahaha ??

Thatd be a sweet deal.. unfortunately, I have a trade that im going to have to try to get rid of. I'm not too sure what to do about that.
Lock in the deal on your Type R. Then tell them about your trade and get a baseline value for it, via email. Then make the drive to Indy and bring the Type R home. That's what I did last weekend. I live in Charlotte NC and drove to Huntington WV and brought it back. I realize your drive from FL to Indy is certainly much further but do whatever it takes, within reason, to get the car for the price you are willing to pay, MSRP. Best of luck .

Haha,

Was going to go to a dealership today a few hours away.

Called early this afternoon to start negotiating over the phone to see if we could meet on numbers and see what i could get for my trade in. Spoke to 2 different people AND hit up the internet sales guy.

Everyone has taken my info and said theyll get right back to me.. and.. nothing.

I bought my BMW back in 2012 completely over the phone.. showed up, signed papers and left.

Honda..

*crickets*
