What did you pay for your FL5?

I thought you were able to agree to one that is in transit... ?

They tried him. Major increase in markup

Sprung a markup on me after we had agreed on a price. I now have an ITS reserved at MSRP, but I like the CTR more and I'm not sure the ITS is worth 52k to me.

I am picking up my Type R next week and the dealer is charging me the new MSRP that is $500 over what is listed on their website. I also doubt the window sticker will show the new pricing from Honda. Does this sound right? Are dealers able to represent an MSRP in the buyers order that does not align with the window sticker?

Yes, just scroll around and you'll see stickers that show the "MSRP" is whatever crazy ADM number they have. Even my docs are all over the place and make little sense, in the end as long as the # I paid OTD was what I agreed on I didn't really care what they called the markup or where it was put.

Congrats on the pricing, as I'm sure you're aware getting anything under $5k ADM is an accomplishment!

MSRP is just the bases for my pricing. I am also paying a markup. Just trying to minimize my OTD costs.

Ok, the way you worded it sounded like you were at MSRP - what you are saying is they are charging you the NEW MSRP plus ADM. I'd focus on the end price more than where the markups are coming from.

A lot of this stuff feels like it should violate Bait & Switch laws though.

It depends on when the car was invoiced. It is a more predictable manner on vehicles built in the US.

Honda's website currently reflects this new pricing.

When price increases happen. They happen for the dealership too. You'll see the window sticker before you purchase the vehicle.

Hoehn Honda in San Diego has 2 Type R's in the showroom right now at $15K ADM plus about $1600 in "protection". Boost Blue and CW, I offered $5K over and they politely told me to go screw myself.

This seems to be the going rate in San Diego. I had to go out of state to secure mine.

I would politely say the same thing to them ask them if they know what a car salesman’s favorite motto is ? There’s an Ass for every seat ! Lol

So has anyone gotten $5K over recently? Bought my mother inlaw a CR-V last night from the same dealership. The sales manager offered me a small discount off their ADM on the CTR and said he would do a little better if I wanted it. Is the real world rate currently $8K? There are live listings in the midwest for $10K over right now and I assume I could do slightly better from them. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Seems like 5k is achievable but depends on where you live. If you're in any large metro area 10k seems like the norm

I only got a 5K ADM/55OTD offer made to me on a dealers next FL5 because I made a complaint to the GM about a bad experience I've had with two of his sales ppl lol I'm on the west coast so that to me is an impossible deal to find

If that 8K puts you at 57-58+ OTD I would say take it and sell it for a wash or even profit if you start to second guess it after ownership

Dang, you must be in a state with very high taxes, my $8k ADM car came to just over $56k which is about the absolute max I was willing to pay/think the car is worth. It's edging very, very close to other machinery I like.

Seems like $8k is a "magic" number since a lot of the $10k dealers will take it and the $5k cars seem to go instantly.
