Yes. Its at Westwood Honda

Pretty good luck on Honda's part that the guy apparently knew how to drive a stick.

[twitchyzero]

is he wearing a Lexus baseball cap or something? :badpokerface:

According to his Facebook page, he also got to take the new NSX out for a rip.

[tru_blue]

I heard the Richmond location had 1 as a manager demo and then put it up for bid which ended up selling for over msrp.

Did anyone put in a bid for it ?

I think it was for a white one parked in their entrance, not 100% sure about the color though.

[oldsnail]

the one at Westwood I believe is asking $ 49500 for it

They are asking 39k. i called them

[Bender Unit]

^ Are you confirm ?
I called and WestWood Honda is asking $49,900.

[ah gon]

They are asking 39k. i called them

I dont think is 39k.since everyone still waiting for it include me.

[JDMACCORD]

Hmm I was there in person I was confirmed by the salesman at west wood Honda that they are asking $49500 supply and demand. I just couldn't justify paying over msrp for used.

[JDMACCORD]

Just called to confirm $49900

[oldsnail]

I dont think is 39k.since everyone still waiting for it include me.

HMMMM.. okay sorry guys.. the guy on the phone didnt speak English pretty well.
i asked him how much was the type R? . he said 49k.
then i told him the website lists 42k.. he goes on hold and told me 39k.. and i reiterated , THIRTY NINE ? he replied yes. because it has 3000 KMS. there is no PDI. just tax and $395 doc fee.

[AzNightmare]

[UnknownJinX]

One guy from the Accord forum said this:

As a follow up to some earlier posts in this thread, I stopped by my local dealership today to look at their Civic Type R. What an experience! As shown in the photos below, they roped it off as if it were a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO. I asked the sales rep if he could open it so I could look at the inside, feel the seats, etc. He said “management won’t let me.” And in a kidding way he then asked, “Do you think you can handle it?” I exhaled slowly, smiled and said, “I think I’d be okay.”

But the dealership’s condescending attitude about this car was both comical and irritating. So I asked the sales rep, “What‘s the real deal? It’s a nice a car but not that special. This Pilot (I pointed to one in the showroom) costs $14,000 more. It’s not roped off. I don’t get this. I just want to sit in it, not drive it.” “Sorry sir, we can’t do it.”

I should have been smarter than to try to reason with him. Anyway, moving on, their mark-up was not horrible. The front seats seemed to be made of a soft velour and looked seriously comfortable! Very red….but very comfy. However the back seat seemed to be the same as a basic Civic....not good. And the tail end has such harsh angles. If the average person who buys a new car is over 50 years old, that is one risky design.

Despite the dealership, the R may still be a contender if the 2018 Accord Sport is to understated for my tastes.

Sounds pretty stupid to me. Come on, it's not a supercar...

[Jmac]

Reminds me of the last time I went to the Vancouver Auto Show several years ago and they had the FR-S and BRZ locked and wouldn't let anyone sit in them. Fucking lame.

[iforyou]

IMO, for the CTR, I don't think it's the price that is making the dealerships acting weird. It's more to do with how rare it is at the moment. If the dealer were to charge a mark up, then the dealer probably wants to keep the car as new and pristine as possible. And as such, no one is allowed to touch the car. I mean if you are one of those people who have paid a mark up for the car, you probably don't want anyone touching the car before you.

I guess this is just the way things are when a car is rare. I'd imagine once there are more CTRs available, dealers won't be acting like this.

[mos_skeeto]

I guess this is just the way things are when a car is rare. I'd imagine once there are more CTRs available, dealers won't be acting like this.

I recall buying my first car and asking if I can check out the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V and they wouldn't let me inside. I was like wtf and left. lol

[Dragon-88]

I went to Subaru hoping to try a WRX, and they said no.. Like WTF is up with dealerships, I'm not going to buy something I haven't test driven, let alone its not like i was asking to take the STI for a rip. I wasnt even interested in the STI which they should've clued in I was a interested buyer and not just some tire kicker.. But oh well, I even made an appointment.

Lame

[nsx042003]

The prize always goes to the wrong person who does not appreciate it. o well, life is fucked up like that

[twitchyzero]

was my initial reaction
but then $50k is $50k...in that position of not wanting this car in the first place, I would've cashed out too
at least he did try to claim his "intent is to keep the car but willing to let it go if price is right"

[iforyou]

then communicate that or put a sold sign on it

I think some dealers do that. I was at Lougheed Acura and there's a brand new black NSX in the showroom with the sold sign. I know that car isn't sold for sure though as I got a quote from their sales rep that same week.

My gut is starting to tell me to wait till the fk8 cycle is finished before pulling the trigger. Would be nice to see all the variants coming up before plucking the fruit.
And Honda seems to go opposite and pushing more Manual gear boxes feels like there will be a chance for the fk8 R series to be produced in higher numbers.

My gut always tells me there will be some new special/limited edition that makes the early adopters regret not waiting and getting the new edition. Next one might get a phoenix yellow with red seats for a colour choice for an ITR throwback :ahwow::ahwow::ahwow::ahwow:

I have heard others say that the 2017MY will be rare as it ages because Honda will start increasing production of the FK8 so each year will see more and more; thus reducing the rarity. Similar to what happened with the 1997 ITR and why it is the most coveted model year in North America. A long term commitment for sure so perhaps not a factor if you're not looking to keep it forever.

I agree a long term commitment was what I was planning for. Just seeing how the Itr turned out really ended up kicking myself selling my 01 Itr. The fk8 Ctr is first time avail in North America and also still keeping the same pedigree from past Type R and Fwd and the fact that it smashed a record on the Nurburing helps. Was looking forward to daily it with the kids so the Fwd made more sense with weight and u turns and overal operation costs

only if it's got exclusive parts (97 bumpers) or if it's exclusive to a market (99 CDM,) or both (01 CDM)

I think buying it when the hype dies down next year or two and have the overheating kinks worked out is a better bet

Just called Murray Honda they confirmed that they are not taking anymore deposits. Sales said they don't know If they will be getting anymore in for 2018. They said best to call and check as they are no longer taking deposits. Called Vancouver Honda also they too are not taking anymore deposits. They basically said if one comes in they will just call the list they have and whoever shows up first will end up getting it.

I think it is the other way around. The current on going model is the touring which has all the bells and whistles.

but the rumored stripped down one (type R)is going to drop the current msrp a little

[TOPEC]

^ both CAD/USA honda websites shows the civic uses either a 2.0L NA engine or the 1.5L turbo engine in what ever trim, none shows a 2.0L turbo except for the type r

They were only selling to locals in Kelowna. Few people called before me and got rejected for not being local. But I noticed that on the day I called, they had released the 2018 FK8 on the website. Also on the same day Kelowna had a snow dump and Coquihalla was closed. It was either they take my deposit right over the phone or they'll sit on their 2017 car until next year.

Some called after me and got told it was sold. Right call at the right time I suppose.

I cant afford a 'new' car garage queen.
so i daily it. with my family and kids

every option is standard.. apple play/ android / cameras .. it is a huge car compared to my older civics though.. my last one was an EP3.


it does not compromise space and functionality from the regular civic. folding seats and hatch are a real plus..

my kids are quite young, and they like kicking the front chairs. good thing the CTR does not have a cloth back.. it is plastic/ CF material.

I had to get snow tires... the 20" wont work well ... i bought a set of 18" from volco with snow tires.


it is common for the brakes to make noise on low speeds.. if you can live with that... i leave it on sport mode... i parked next to Sti's before, and this car gets way more attention than it. it is a great car!

I bought this for my new car to protect the seats, got one for the wifes car too since my daughter is still rear facing

No test drive.

i drove the hatch sport and Si to get the general feel of the size of the vehicle.. but they are totally different.

i waited about 6 months

[tofu1413]

how much sharper is the R vs the Si?

[oldsnail]

how much sharper is the R vs the Si?

The 'comfort' mode on the R, feels like an Si. The steering is noticeably light but still sporty?

you can still feel every bump in this mode.

but i havent spent toooo much time on the Si to make a fair assessment

SNOW TIRES ON

[dinfung]

When i placed my Deposit , they only asked for $500. when i picked it up, they actually never ran it through.

They took $2000 for deposit. No mark up. I did add a few accessory. Illuminated side sill, Ambient lighting, and Illuminated console. The sales said if you order the accessory at time of order factory will install the accessory instead of dealer install. Not sure how truthful is that thou.

i do not think that is true. the dealer does not even know what color they are getting until it randomly arrives.. i did not have an ETA. i just got the cargo mats and floor mats. the dealer gave me a nice discount on those.


Ordered in MAY.. arrived in NOV. expected to get it in FEB 2018 though.

The sales and the sales manager both ensure me it will be here in 3-4months time. I guess we will see what happen when the date get closer.

I initially thought FAST was just another brand of cast wheel, but found out they actually got some good stuff recently since they seem to be increasing in popularity around the GTA area tracks.

Seems like FAST actually has a roll formed lineup of wheels (FC ## Models).
That's the same construction that makes the RPF1 so light and strong, yet value priced at the same time.

I wanted the FC04 .. but they were sold out.. and they were about $150 a wheel at the time

There is a 2018 type R black at campus Honda unsold at msrp...
they said black isn’t that desirable and there is still a line for other colours

[see.lai]

Yeah, I work at Openroad Honda and they said the people who had deposits for the Civic typeR have changed their preferences to White.

Our black one, which has been on our lot for a month, is finally sold. 4Head

[donjalapeno]

^ most of the people on our list want white as well. We just got the Canadian Press Car in Black #28 and we called everyone on the list and everyone either says they want white or its bad timing financially lol

[320icar]

So I finally saw one in person today driving by, we made eyes on russbaker around 6:30, classic championship white. I still need to get some up close and personal time but I think the looks will grow on me. Some things I’ll always hate like the big plastic fake vents, but it looks aggressive and really stands out in a crowd

check PM plz Don

see.lai, do you know if there's a long list for CW? I went to Open Road and talked to Peter Fan. I don't know if he took me seriously but he didn't even take a deposit and said he will add me to the list....

Any other Honda connects? tnx

Your best bet is to try talking to one of the managers (fleet, business, etc); they may think you're serious. The salesman probably just blew you off or something. I don't know how long the wait was for CW, but I was told there were over 10+ in line.

(I work for service, btw)

[oldsnail]

I have yet to see RED in canada yet.

Wow, I’d love to see that in person. I saw a shadow of a black one around 11 last night. I seem to always just miss seeing them, hr glad owners aren’t treating them like vintage ferrari’s And actually drive them in salty winter

[320icar]

YOHB? Finally got to see it up close an in person. Don’t think I could daily it, but for a weekend fun car I think it’s the right kind of ridiculous looking

the other CW Fk8 R also works for campus group, and the black fk8 R works at Jas auto... and amuro ray has a PY ITR

[TouringTeg]

^Very cool. Jas used to work on my first integra years ago when he was still a tech at Honda City(Campus).

I saw a pic of Ray's PY ITR on Instagram a while back haven't seen it in person. Ben (CRXkid) used to own it. The only other LHD ITR I know of is the CW in Nanaimo who is also an RS member.

A Porsche mechanic has a CW JDM ITR.

Ray bought his PY ITR from Acura. Ray's cannot be returned to stock. it is an autox monster.

Crxkid has a different one. he has nsx now.

The other CW Fk8R works at kia.

btw, i tried to get fk8r custom plates.. they said it resembles f**ker too much

[TouringTeg]

Oh gotcha I thought it was the same PY. I saw Ray's PY ITR sitting in a driveway today! Just driving by I could see it was modded. Blue Spoon banner I think.

Too funny about the plate. I will forever kick myself I missed DC2 plates. I couldn't find one on the island but I didn't try that hard. I will continue to rock my 993 plate haha
