How did I make it racial? I think they do it better...

srika

by mentioning a race, lol

happy Friday y'all.

Majofo

srika

you're thinking too hard.

Majofo

Don't be so sensitive...
Now if I said Flipney

Have a great weak end y'all!!

SamDoe1

Needs more lights.

Pass.

oonowindoo

Asians are the same race.... so this is not about race.

srika

........... the original comment about making it racial was not meant to be a serious one........

Nearly a 60% markup?!?

DaIll1

Are they selling? If they sat on the lot for 6 months I'm sure they'd reconsider.

Sarlacc

Some stupid fuck will pay it.

Dealers should be beholden to manufacturers and manufacturers need to get them to cut this shit out, much in the way Dodge has been trying...and I think Lexus does.

Legend2TL

Saw this is CA in 2012

Costco

They can suck nuts for that markup. That's in my neck of the woods too.

DaIll1

I vaguely remember the Miata release of a $13,000 car....

kurtatx

That's borderline criminal.

Aman

As frustrating as it is, the idiot is the buyer not the dealership.

Doom878

Some sucker will negotiate it down to a $10k markup

There are dealers in LA where it sells CTR at the sticker.

Rick_TL-S

$20,000 over sticker for a CTR!? You could grab it and the Si for that money.

Ridiculous....

ttribe

Seriously. Some of these dealers are absolutely awful.

srika

a $59,000 Honda Civic. Soichiro Honda must be rolling in his grave..

I honestly can't blame the dealers. If some moron is going to pay that markup for a Civic... then the buyer is the idiot...

DaIll1

They see the $$$ 001 brought in (the charity car) and figure, why not?

nanxun

Here, the key adjective is "charity"....

Pity the poor person who might feel the need to pay the premium for being one of the "early adapters"....

ttribe

I'm all for a free market and the interaction between supply and demand dictating price, but this is just gouging.

DaIll1

Extreme example of the price of Firsties!

Sarlacc

Just saw my first civic hype r in the wild. Red. Ugly as sin.

DaIll1

I've seen sin, and I think she's hot!

Majofo

I was just laughing at teh stupid fucks who paid markup on the Hellcat

There's two vloggers who rationalize paying over 70/80k for their hellcats a year ago when they're not even worth 45k on trade.







Waiting for similar CTR vids..

Rick_TL-S

I saw there's another Honda dealership also asking $20K over sticker coming out to $54-55K.

If you're after a performance car, $60K can get you anything outside of an exotic. I'm sure you could maybe grab a used GTR in that range.

Majofo

What's up with the Stingray? Did you test drive it?

Rick_TL-S

Yeah. It was pretty nice, some creature comforts I wouldn't mind in the C6Z. It's very quick, but even though it's only just 50hp down, it just doesn't feel like it has the raw, angry power/torque the C6Z has. Maybe it's the Z06 being lighter & more barren that attributes to it. 7-Speed gearbox was cool to go through, but didn't get a chance to really row through it because we stuck to the regular streets. Car drove fine, no weird noises or rattles, very comfy in comparison. Car had that auto rev-match that was cool to see work after learning to do it in the Z.

All that added on shit was just vinyl that could be pulled off, thankfully. The roof had bubbles though & wasn't very well done and the red outline esp along the wing was cut into like 5-6 pieces and taped along. It was just a bit shoddy up close. I asked if they'd be willing to knock off a bit of the price for it b/c I'd have to spend that back into taking it all off, but they said it's as is. So, I was hyping myself that it'd be a nice car to own (even though I shouldn't have), but they pretty much ended the deal when it'd cost me over $120/month more, stretched over 60 months. They low balled the Z06 at $31,500 as well which I didn't like knowing it could easily be resold for $35-40K.

I don't drive the car much anyway, so it'd probably be a poor financial choice to begin with. I'm considering moving at the tail end of the year which could mean the end of Z ownership and getting into another car would be dumb as well. Just going to enjoy her as is.

srika

I can't get over the looks of this new CTR. It is just plain and simple FUGLY and no amount of horsepower or performance would ever change that.

Majofo

You're going to sell her to buy a house? Damn mang.. better drive the shit out of her until then.
I think that's a good choice. You're really just paying for creature comforts. I think the C6Z is a beast inside and out, not just on the streets.
It's a great looking ride and some fools have gotten them in the 10 second club with just a cam, headers, and other minor mods.
That's bananas.

Rick_TL-S

No house here hombre. Looking to move closer to work which means more money needed for an apartment out there due to the booming economy. Hinging on if I haven't found a new job to supplement keeping the car, though.

We'll see how shit goes.

oonowindoo

I dont care if it is a Civic Type R, or Type RRR, No mass produced Civic is worth $60k... It does not matter how many Rs it has.

But we all saw it coming, didn't we?

00TL-P3.2

Not surprised & someone will buy it. It's a little too extreme for me. The Si would be more suitable for a daily for me.

DaIll1

Speaking of prices keeping cars on the lot....
$299 24 month lease on Giulia with $3299 down

Rick_TL-S

Wonder what the plan is for the Quadrifoglio. I'd rock one of those as a daily.
