but let's say they do, wouldnt it make more sense to approach any of the garage queen owners to rent one out for few grand? I admit I dont know much about the operating budget of big dealerships but banking on reselling for $40K down the road seems risky. Have we seen R sell for more than $30K in Canada?
not to mention putting a DC2R next to the new Civic Type R would be like a Honda Insight next a Lamborghini Veneno...same badge, totally different wavelength. Surprisingly, they're not that much heavier or bigger

All true. Dealership pockets are usually pretty deep though. Could be something that the dealer principal would like to enjoy and $40K is nothing to spend on something that is deemed promotional, even if the recoup is 0 dollars, which in this case, isn't. The smart move for dealer owners/principals is to get the company to pay for their auto hobby by running it through the business. This ITR purchase could have been a similar case.
