EOMM stands for 'End Of Month Meet'

I wonder the lack of interest in the car is due to the Top Gear segment where Clarkson panned it in comparison to the EP3R.

Possibly.
Also I notice that there is next to NO advertising for this car. Honda spends big bucks on advertising there other cars, but not the CTR. VW, mazda etc seem to be advertising their performance hatches everywhere.

Allthough people are saying that its selling badly, i think you'll find if you compare the sales figures with previous audm type R's the new FN2R is probably selling more... Also take into account that there are a shit load more hot hatches (competition) on the market these days compared to when the DC2R and DC5R were new.

Every car got its own fans, just enjoy what u got!

[wassup]

Just got mine for $38725 on the road.
Matts (standard)
Cargo Net (standard)
Tint
Apparently this month CTR comes with:
24hr roadside assistance
5year extended warranty

I think some wriggle room has come about due to the exchange rate. AUD against the Sterling is alot different to when the CTR was first released last year.

im with you, i mean thats like 7k lesss than wat i paid. 6 months ago.

[CONAN]

Does anyone know whether Honda is meeting or exceeding their sales targets for the FN2R?

Or is it the other way around?

:honda::thumbdwn: :honda::thumbsup: :confused:

[oniononline]

I saw an article on my local newspaper, you can drive away new FN2R from around 38k at Eastern Honda

[Felix]

no offence but i reckon its a lie


Its probably an 07 Demo.

[moons]

As much as we don't like it, this may be a sign of an official price drop.

[Felix]

Yeah i got mine for $38 000 drive away with extras.
I got quotes from 4 different dealers, the highest was $40 200 drive away.
All with Emblem, mats, and bluetooth.

[Felix]

As much as we don't like it, this may be a sign of an official price drop.

No i've found that alot of dealers still have 07 built vehicles in the showroom, most with less then 100kms on the clock. These seem to be the ones going dirt cheap. The last thing a dealer wants is to have last years stock in the yard when its half way through the following year...
When asking for drive away quotes on current year stock that has to be delivered in the best I could do was $42 900 drive away...

[wassup]

Its probably an 07 Demo.


I got mine yesterday. Its a December build but Jan 08 compliance and its the latest version as the steering wheel adjustment is not on the left hand side like the 07 model.. its at the base of the column in the middle.

Its has 12km on the clock and just got registered this week so hardly a demo

And a slight correction... i got it for 38800 Drive away.

[bodaas]

just got registered this week but hardly demo .. hmmm doesnt make sense
if its demo.. it has been registerd bfore purcharse

[Felix]

Mine was a "demo" as stated by the dealer, but it only had 85kms on it before i drove it. Was never registered.... Used the trader plates for test drive. Dealer said it arrived with 20kms and 3 people test drove it before me.

Sounds much the same as mine. Except i paid $39 000 with accessories.

[bodaas]

some has registerd, some not
it still consider demo though, if it has been registered
most dealer say its demo car, because they never stock the car like normal civic, accord crv etc
they just sell that available of their car yard

its the same when you thinking to buy new s2000 to honda dealer, they still sellling new s2000 now and they usuallly never have the stock on site, if they have, thats their demo car

Dealers screw you around heaps. HEAPS. I got a new car (not demo/showroom/etc) for 43 flat on road with a truck load of extras - both skirts, stickers, 2 sets of mats, ipod adapter and ambient lights and more. I posted my deal somewhere on here I think.

Mind you, you won't get this deal by just asking for it. A bunch of dealers laughed me out of the showroom before I made the deal with the dealer who wanted to make the sale. Some even told me getting an 08 build so early in the year was impossible!

My car was purchased about two months ago (delivered last month) and is a MY08, built 08 and complianced 08.

And the 38k/free 5yr warranty/mats price is on the Honda website. It only applies to built 07 cars, allbethey MY08.

Not a very good deal in my opinion, as the cost of the mats and the extra warranty (Approximately $795+$160 RRP) will not cover the loss when selling the car with an extra year on it. And besides, if purchased with the vehicle, ie: as part of the deal, this stuff is closer to worthless.

[Felix]

you my friend don't make sense.

Yeah, sorry. That's what I meant. :cool:

But anyway, everyone knows that dealer delivery and government charges are just a rouse to make you happier about paying a higher price.

[cool_banana]

But in brisbane I can get one brand new from dealer for $37800 on road but 07 Compliance plate

[cool_banana]

sorry the dealer is HIGHWAY AUTO GROUP

erh,, i am trying to say... some dealers has put plate number on it and ready to go.
the dealers i purchased from, got one with plate number on it. its 39990 driveawys, silver colours, has 100km on it

it doenst make sense to you, because you thnk all demos car always never been registered

[Felix]

ha? Please point out where I have said this....
Its not f%#king rocket science. And i'm not that stupid. A simple drive past any dealership will tell you that some of the cars in the yard are registered, and some aren't.

What I thought it was funny cos you said
"if its demo.. it has been registerd bfore purcharse"
then next post you said
"some has registerd, some not it still consider demo though"

Anyway, back on topic.

i m refer to this

Its has 12km on the clock and just got registered this week so hardly a demo

And a slight correction... i got it for 38800 Drive away.

the car registered this week and hardly demo, if its demo, it has been registered before purchase.
i know i shouldnt put word "if" because i remember the car dealer that i purchase car from
one of them got the rego already

and
i never mean to say you f%kn stupid or idiot
i did visit couple dealership, not the whole australia honda dealershipps

so

this is for example

Theres no need to be jealous some of us can afford to buy more than 1 car.

And theres no need to be so cut because you over paid for your car and some of us has the art and skill of negotiating.

to quote double r post from earlier this year.


Holy shit that is a good deal. I got my CTR in the first week of July 07 (one of the very first to get it) and Hornsby Honda wouldn't budge. I managed to get $43,500 driveaway.

I guess this is what happens when people are bored and waiting for the five finalists from the photo competition to be announced.

How sad.

This is similar to the deal I made - certainly not friend prices, mate. :thumbdwn:

I paid $43k a month ago for an 08 built Nighthawk Black with:

Luggage Tray
MY08 Floor Carpets (x2 Sets)
Accent Lighting
iPod Adapter
Type R Emblems Pack
Front Skirt (Splitter) - original skirt retained
Rear Skirt (Rear Diffuser) - original skirt retained
Door Trims
Mud Flaps (Front and Back)
Touch Up Paint

and..

Extra rear CIVIC badge (new)
Extra rear TYPE-R badge (new)
Extra front RED H badge (new)
Free oil change (including new filter) at 1000/1500km service
Courtesy car to be provided free of charge on all service/warranty checks/fixes
Full Tank of 98 RON fuel (BP Ultimate)

..and I reckon I paid $500 to $1k too much.

I'll see how I go...

[mattc]

so can anyone recommend any honda dealers in syd, who are quite helpful???
one honda dealer on the lower nth shore was particularly unhelpful. Dont want to go back..

from the thread seems that:
-Rick D honda
-honda hornsby
are the places to go...

you guys rkn for a MY 08 $42-43K drive away incl extras?

anyone have contacts?

Cheers

[LD_Mart]

I live in hornsby and our family has bought FD, CTR, CRV lux and euro lux in the last 4 years and never bought one from hornsby...
they are arrogant in there...
we ended up buyin my CTR from central coast honda they were awesome,
they remembered my name when i went back 3 months later for my 1000k serivce that includes the fiance lady...
just all the little things up there were so much better give it a try...
got mine up there jan 08 model for 40,500
including
floor mats
emblem set ( had to fit myself )
Paint protection, Rust Detecter, Seat and Trim Protection
when i picked the car up also got
a free Honda umbrella, Flowers and bottle of wine..

[mattc]

Cool thanks for that.. will check it out
Though it is abt 1 hr out of syd.. might be an effort just to get a quote/idea.
when buying ur CTR, were they moveable? did they budge much on price?

Well pretty much walked in there and said dont wanna pay more then 40g and this is what i want...

Then they came up with 41,700 and just said throw in
floor mats and emblem set plus all the protection stuff for 40,500
and he spoke to his boss and it was done...
took about 3hours...

compared to hornsby who wouldnt budge off 42 something for a 07 built...

but i know others who have bought from hornsby but just my personal experiences have been pretty bad there...

[mattc]

thanks for your help :)
anyone else recently purchased?
where abts (dealership) and what did u get thrown in?

Cheers!
