61k for the red one at a dealer in Tulsa, OK. Gray is at their sister store, I didn't ask about that one.

So since calling this dealership asking what they are asking for it, they have called me twice now to follow up. I did not answer because timing was off (headed to a meeting in a second) but I may wait and call them later and see how low they'll go.

I want to call the dealers and ask why they think it's a better value just to hear them do the salesman thing.

I'm sure the mental gymnastics they would be doing would be crazy. I'll wait until next week to see is Tulsa calls back. It's a 9.5/10 hr drive, so not something I can just stop what I'm doing and go pick up today.

I don't care if it has 300 HP and a 6 speed manual, that's absurd.

Hmmm....

Civic or base model C8? Who knew this could ever be a comparison when price shopping.


C8, I choose you!

LOL @ the constant name changes of these scumbag dealers trying to jam it in your stinker. "ADDENDUMB"?

The big name-brand dealerships are worse than the scummy buy-here pay-here lots now.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

It's way out of control. And it's keeping the previous gen type R prices sky high.

Some Honda NUTSWINGER will buy it

One of the local dealers that I called last month just sent this random text with pics of theirs. They want 10k over MSRP.

Lol. Is that Dave's dealership? He just posted a white one.

Kune's Honda in Sycamore

When I was there in 2019 we sold a white one for 10k over in the 9 mos it’s the only one I saw. Now normal civics lx, ex, Exl, touring we had hundreds of them in stock

Not wasting time watching that ^^

As for the Ring video, man in R mode it just seems like those cars have zero shock travel to essentially add mechanical spring rate. I have 12k springs on my s2000 (stock is like 4k) and I never bounce around in it even when it hits the bump stops, the videos of the CTR's in R mode make them look back breaking to drive.

 

[IDAFC21]

Watched the vid. Interesting if he's right, but regardless thats still damn impressive

I also thought the same thing about the suspension when I first watched it. I thought THATS what was tweaked. I was like there's no way a stock suspension on a road car behaves that way but that wasn't brought up in the vid at all. I haven't watched other vids w/ this car being put thru its paces so maybe that is "normal", but damn

160mph top speed down hill, idk... An s2000 designed in the 90's can do 145mph on 1999 tires. I very much doubt they added power.
