Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

Still weird to do so far out. They’ll likely hit it again if the car is going to 2+ years out……

But how can they allocate one with a specific colour that far in advance? I would assume that there's already one on the way for them to be so specific with the allocation no? Or does Honda just build them and paint them as they please without actual orders in?

AFAIK the dealers have no say in which colour they receive. This is what I gather from this forum and from speaking with my sales rep. Honda is well aware the demand for this car far outweighs the supply (in Canada). Maybe they have a car on the way for you. There is a thread somewhere on here that gives information about which cargo ships carry FL5s and where they are currently located. Maybe you could check that out or ask your dealer to be straight with you.
No dealer is going to run a credit approval for a vehicle months or years away.

My dealer told me, coupe of months after my deposit, that they would get a red one (a 2023) and a white one (very close to the end of production, so a 2025). I'm second, so the first one got sold. I'm still waiting for mine.

So they could not choose the color, but they seem to know in advance what they will get...

Now, let's see if that is true or not! (The red one was real, I saw the guy who bought it)

It’s true. The dealer I purchased from knew the color (SGP) a year before they got the car.

Probably the lowest I've seen for a used Type R in BC.

Looks like the prices might start to come down a bit, the SGP in Whitby dropped $2700. I think they're starting to realize no one is willing to buy at these insanely marked up prices.. At the end of the day its still stock they don't want to sit on for too long, I mean they are in the car sales business after all...

Did you get yours? I thought you got a call for one.

Back In August these scumbags wasted my time. I called them about a new FL5 that was posted here. Spent some time on the phone, only to be told they wanted $78K total. It should have been the first thing out of his mouth.

Nope, that one fell through. I was 2nd in line for that and the 1st got their finances through. Back to waiting again.

Yep, they do deliveries during winter.
