Good stuff congrats!

Civic type R and honda dealer experience pushed me away from the brand. bought a used bmw m2 and never going back to honda.

Had to pay 60k for a boost blue FK8 in Puerto Rico, the new ones cost around 65k+

The type r is slow for the money. For 50k you can get an 815hp whipple powered mustang gt warrantied from ford. Unless you just love civics or honda's mark up crap.

I felt the the Integra Type S was better in every single way, so I didn’t play their BS games and went and bought that for MSRP with ease. It’s everything I liked about the CTR and everything I didn’t like about it. I got Apex Blue with Orchid interior 👌

Bought my 2021 Type R a few months ago. Single owner, clean title, only 10,600 miles. Championship white, gorgeous car. Runs flawlessly and in amazing condition. Was very well maintained by the previous owner. Paid 45k after taxes, title, tag fees and all of that nonsense. Blew my mind that I was paying ABOVE MSRP on a 3 year old car with nearly 11k miles. The car would of been a better deal if I bought it brand new 3 years ago. Just crazy the market right now. You definitely pay a premium for an FK8 or FL5. But my God there is nothing like them. I prefer the FK8's aggressive styling and its definitely the car for me as opposed to the FL5, and seeing how insane the prices are for an FL5 make me glad I prefer the FK8.

Don't blame the dealerships, blame people actually paying the prices. Supply and demand, it's the most basic business concept. I got my 2024 FL5 for msrp, have to be willing to travel or wait.

My dealer charges in the low/mid $300s for my 2017 NSX oil changes. Oil changes are infrequent for this car, just go by the computer.

The crazy level Reminds me of being 15 and riding a mini bike with Chuck, no brakes and a string for a throttle line, and we used a nickel to pop the clutch lol🤣

This is why i am going with Elantra N. I am not playing any markups any vehicles.

Does the NA package come with a tune? It looks like vtec is lowered so assuming you have a flash tune?

Why I love my Elantra N 6 speed. Wasn't hard to find at MSRP. Over $10k cheaper than Type R. FL5 Type R is awesome for sure and they hold their value well if you get tired of it and plan on selling it.

The people that paid over sticker for this just to daily it in traffic are insane. 😂😂😂

I recently purchased a 2024 FL5 Civic Type R for msrp and avoided the rip off add on items like "paint protection". Here's how I did it. I went to Honda's website and looked up the msrp of a Type R, I then added 7% for sales tax (I live in Ga). Nothing else. That number came to about $49,900. Next, I called about 80 different Honda dealerships which I found with a search on AutoTrader. I was trying to identify Honda dealers that had the color I wanted in stock. I called those 80 dealers and got a salesman on the line. This was my pitch, "I am ready to buy a White FL5 Type R today. I am preapproved for financing but will be happy to use yours if you can match the rate I got. Here's the catch: I'm willing to pay $50,000 out the door; not a penny more. Talk to your sales manager and call me back if you're willing to sell me a car at that price" About a dozen dealers called me back and offered to sell me a car for $53k to 60k. I said, no thanks. About a day later, I received a call from Superior Honda in Orangeburg, SC and we made the deal at $50k. It was a 4 hour drive from Atlanta and I couldn't be happier. Within a few days two other dealers also offered to do the deal. One in Louisiana and one in Ohio. If I were looking for one today, I would try $49k out the door.

Looks terrible with a paint matched spoiler

I’ve owned 2 FK8 type Rs I bought used. That’s why I bought a new Elantra N and it’s just as good of a car as the R. Oh and 37K OTD. No mark ups, no accessories

I got one at MSRP back in October at autopark Honda in Cary, NC. Family that owns the dealership will not sell any car above msrp or add extra dealer accessories at crazy prices. Only good for North Carolina residents. I worked with Vinny and he was great. If you live in NC, give them a call. I feel bad for other parts of the country with crappy dealers.

Shopped for months, couldn’t find one at msrp so changed my mind.

5:00 Revhang seems to be since auto rev match is on. It drops to the perfect spot to shift up to third gear and hesitates before going to idle.

So your paint guy didn't go by the code. He took pics with the paint cam 👍🏻

I thought you already had a blue FL5?

It's not just Honda. I wouldn't buy a new car right now if I had to. F the big companies and make them lower the prices down to earth p

Go buy the Elantra N

Got a Champ White FL5 1 month ago under MSRP. Cool that you are doing car stuff with your son. I wont be color matching mine anytime soon. I like the black/white contrast. I think if i did anything with the wing it would be carbon-fiber but for now I am going to slap an exhaust on and enjoy it stock for a year.

At first the body shape reminds me of the 2020 Volkswagen jetta but it grew on me as a" luxury" car", not a supercar .. or #f1 formula elements k24 K20 K20z3 more if an audi

Congratulations for the professional choice of the wing colour but I would prefer to keep the black colour so it will be a more aggressive contrast.But it is nice with the white too.

Color matched spoiler is a huge L. Looks like a regular civic trying to be a type r 😂🤣

I like the enthusiasm. Real car guy and i can tell you really love the car.

They had markups on Civic Si’s even a year ago, $2k-5k. What a joke. I called five dealerships, and they all wanted over MSRP. I told them to pound sand.

I got one under MSRP!

Bro do something with you garage door, njce car😊

Ah, Palm Harbor Honda. They’re a crappy dealer. One time my fiancé took her family’s Fit to that dealer. The dealer took possession of the car, backed up into another vehicle on the lot, then tried to blame it on her! Never before have I seen such audacity in my life.

Paint matched wing wayyyy better than

You can get a nice mustang gt for around 30k and there’s PLENTY for way less. Way more power. Way better sound. Handles decent but not as well as the type R. Why do people buy this

Not worth it. I overpaid and now resell value drop alot.

I like it all stock

Wow ! Fast !

Got my Integra Type S at Crown in Tampa while I was down there for work at MSRP in Nov. It was end of the month and they wanted to move the car. It originally had a 5k markup on it. Great buying experience! Look around and don't be afraid to tell them you are interested at MSRP and not a dollar over. They may budge.

Yeah, the white wing looks better. I ditched the mufflers and put a twin on the rear. I refused to pay above MSRP and eventually got one for MSRP but with $300 add ons that were not worth it.

No More Tears on the radio - I heard that! :)

That’s why people paying $60k to $70k doesn’t make sense it’s still a freaking civic.

That’s a scat pack just let you know

Man I wish I lived closer to your shop.

Congratulations (again) on another Type R! 😜

I got an Integra type S for 49,800+tax DMV doc fee lol

For a civic ? Nope no thanks I’d much rather buy an S2000😊 ✌🏽

Hi John: The reason that car dealerships are making deals at the end of the month is because of the Floor Plan inventory with the financial institution (in this case, American Honda Motor Credit). Floor plan inventory is a line of credit to finance the new car inventory at the dealership. The dealership pays the interest on the Floor Plan Inventory which is due the beginning of each month. This is why the new car dealerships are willing to make deals at the end of the month. As for the 2024 CTR FL5, as productions picks up and the dealerships will receive cars sooner to be add the floor plan inventory after it is released from the car carrier company after the car comes from port. Since CTR is limited production and other honda dealerships are willing to pay MRSP to buy car to add their inventory (when production is limited). This is why the market adjustment prices are set by the sale management team until a lot of CTRs are showing up from port and when the car is not sold. The dealership is paying the for the car (each month) to stay on the lot until it is sold (hopefully at msrp).

Muito top Tenho um ej1 b16 supercharge Jackson racing Infelizmente aqui no Brasil sofro com a falta de profissionais especialistas nessas configuração. Parabéns. Acompanho você aqui do Brasil🇧🇷🇧🇷

Would you guys make and ship this 3 inch exhaust? I have a 03 ep3 that needs something quiet but can sustain 400hp

If you haven't seen Que the Chaotic's videos about his DE5, I would seriously consider following break in protocols with this motor.
