Another dealer listing Type S for MSRP, not sure if trade or finance is required. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...65632134032571 |

Seems like the supply issues were improving in the US well before Canada.
I heard that OpenRoad Toyota still required trade-in + financing, as well as a $299 addon (though that's really peanuts in the grand scheme of things).
A few months back, OpenRoad Mazda was charging quite a lot for their "OpenRoad detail package" and $1000+ for a dash cam. I doubt that OpenRoad is the worst, but this sort of thing is such a turn-off, and I probably won't be purchasing from them in the future. One thing that Tesla really does well is their direct to consumers sales model.

I've been seeing more reasonable Boxster & Cayman deals out there too, though I am sure it is partially caused by the annual selling of sports cars and convertibles in the fall. Quote:

Their business model of selling is still largely a relic of the bygone era when they had no choice but to rely on the local business corps to become their licensed dealerships and distribution network. Even if they want to revamp the entire sales model, I'm not even sure how it can be done. And by and large, I don't really see any desire from them to do it either.
With that in mind, I am actually pretty impressed that Volvo had the guts to adopt the Polestar sales model, and for that alone, I hope they are successful in influencing how cars are sold in the future.

^it's the same as microtransactions in games, dealers will continue as long as there are buyers willing to vote with their wallet.
To be honest, it happens in all industries, Automotive is actually way more transparent because
- there are MSRP on official Canadian website
- the fees are listed and spelt out on the worksheet
- there are multiple dealers selling the exact same product competing for business
Signage and Graphics industry have none of that, you don't know how much a "no parking" sign should cost, you don't even know if every supplier is using the same material, same ink, same technique, same treatment.... a 2023 Ioniq 5 is an Ioniq 5 regardless of which Hyundai or even non-Hyundai dealer is selling the car...

Dropped off my RDX for service today and Langley Acura, and saw they have a Tigers Eye Pearl ITS and a Apex Blue one with the copper wheels. Both colors look nice

Seems like not such a good idea considering it’s
1) uglier
2) 10k more than CTR
3) built in chuckle factory of the USA
I don’t even think it adds that much sound deafening materials over the base CTR.
No wanty

Not at these interest rates, I would wait another 6 months year and let them depreciate more

Funny, the last post before Matsuda replied was back in September of 2023. I've only seen one Integra on the road since.

ETA is April timeframe.
MSRP, with mandatory accessories (all weather mats, trunk tray, black lugs).
I'm also still on the list for the FL5, with a "confirmed" allocation. MY25 is the ETA for that.

Langley Acura told me initially they had a lot of restrictions in place, e.g mandatory options/accessories, trade-in etc. And then people started pulling their deposits, so they decided to remove all of those additional things. I told them I would have no trade-in, wouldn't finance. GM wasn't happy about that, but didn't matter in the end

Seen a few Type-S I can't stand the tacked on fender on the rear. On the FK8 because it's so out of this world it was actually acceptable, the ITS looks like a autozone stick on.
