I realize this is called LeaseHackr and not PurchaseHackr, but does anyone have any thoughts or tips on how to approach the new Civic Type R?
I understand it will likely make zero sense to lease this and it will be a straight up purchase. Will this be a minimum $10k over MSRP, or will I have a shot of getting it somewhere close to the actual list price?
It is supposed to be released on the “fall” which we are technically now in, but not much else on the date at this point.
Anything is possible. The only thing you can count on 100% is that no one will discount this car. There are dealers that are willing to do MSRP on even limited production cars. The problem is actually finding one with a car in stock.
I wouldn’t expect dealers to temper their markups. Since most if not all are doing it then price gouging will continue. I think supply will be limited enough for it to happen.
What’s the deal with Honda? There’s almost no Honda brokers here on leasehackr. In CA, we have a few Toyota dealers that sell msrp only but have long waitlists, such a concept doesn’t seem to exist at Honda. I wonder if Honda corporate is just totally oblivious to the situation on the ground. Doesn’t seem to be ANY place you can put down a deposit at msrp for a CTR
Zero financial management and makes decisions based on ‘gotta have it now now now!’
But to each his own and his own money and you know what they say about a fool and his money.
While I’m not suggesting a WRX is necessarily a comparable car to a CTR, you can (often) score one for a few grand off MSRP and the mark up alone ($20k) would pay for 60% of one.
