Civic Type R - The Deal You Made??

[Wazza]

For anyone who has purchased a new CTR, what deals if any were you able to negotiate. Looking for prices on road, accessories chosen and their costs, and if any discounts or accessories were given for free....

[sitta]

free mats and tint and extended waranty

[industrie]

From enquiring its the mats, tint and warranty as well about 44K drive away, from what im aware they will not discount the car

[Zdster]

Curious - are we talking Honda warranty or the dealership warranty?

[sitta]

ok my deal was 44000 with mats, tints, datadots, honda waranty is 3 years + extended delaer warranty of another 3 years

[lukits01]

Mine is coming on Thursday [WA]
45k driveaway
12 month rego
free mats
dont think I get tinting
CANT WAIT!

[aaronng]

You should ask for the 2 year Honda extended warranty rather than the 3 year dealer warranty.

[Zdster]

You should ask for the 2 year Honda extended warranty rather than the 3 year dealer warranty.

Yeah, but they wont throw that in. FYI cost price as I discovered for the current civic on the 2 year warranty is around the $450 apparently.

[UNLS1]

correct!
we wont throw it in, it will cost a bit more for the warranty for the CTR over the normal civic!

[sitta]

delaer said they had no idea for the accesories price so i didnt get them anyhow who will get them... they are expensive in uk, must be also expensive here

[UNLS1]

front bumper between 800-980 fitted same for rear
everythign else bout 270 -500

[sitta]

front bumper doesnt go with the rear as a kit? i heard the price for the type r badge at the front and 2 stickers for the side is 80 pounds in uk which is ridiculous, how much is it here?

[eriktufa]

$250 for badges

[timske]

The honda dealer next to my work in zetland, recieved 4 of them this afternoon.
2 red, 1 black and 1 silver.

Id definately go for the red!
Not sure about the rear but overall they are a really nice looking car.

[Wazza]

Dang! No expenses spared eh?! ;)

I'm not surprised they gave you the free badging and mud flaps after you spent almost two grand on f&r skirts and accent lighting!

But 44195 sounds like a great deal - congrats!

:thumbsup:

[sitta]

$250 for badges
wtf wtf 250 for a badge and two sticker....

i rather get an upgrade on aftermarket stereo system than getting the front and rear skirt and the badging ruin the symetry of the car lol

by the way what colour CTR r u getting if you are getting red CTR get the black bodykit they look hot

[VT3C]

you can just get the type R stickers from someone who can produce them that way you can save money

IMO if you're gonna go all the way and buy a GENUINE Type R, it'd make sense to get GENUINE decals even if they ARE a bit pricey..

[sitta]

dont be surprised if you look at the accent lighting and you are like WTF is this beacause it is basicly only 2 red led for $295 easy money there

[Wazza]

I am definately not looking forward to replacing the emblem set as chances are that they will be continually debadged....

I will agree the prices of the accessories are very excessive, but really what is another $2000 on accessories when buying a two door hatch for over $40,000. What I couldn't justify are accessories such as the Door Trim for $695 and the Bumper Trims for $395 each. Different dealers seem to be charging very different prices for the accessories too...

[57UDD]

Price is being finalised for me but i got told it would be bout $43500 drive away.
Got free mats and type r key ring so far, still got some bargainin power cuz of some clauses in my contract.

One question, wtf is this type r badge and stickers you guyz are talkin bout???Doesnt the CTR come standard with the red H badges and stuff.

[aaronng]

One question, wtf is this type r badge and stickers you guyz are talkin bout???Doesnt the CTR come standard with the red H badges and stuff.
It comes with the red H badges, but it doesn't have a badge that says "Type R".

IMO, I'd rather buy a Type R badge from the DC5R and stick it on the back.

[SiR]

The "Type R" badging everyone's talking about is this:

http://www.zcars.com.au/images/honda-civic-type-r-fullspecced1.JPG

The "Type R" badge at the rear is standard - the one on the front grille and the stickers on the sides are part of the Type R emblem set.

Info here: http://www.zcars.com.au/civic-type-r-australian-pricing/

[industrie]

looks complete with the type R badges, red would be the best colour!

[UNLS1]

i dont like the badge set, its got one on the back, its not hard to identify the car lol!

but if its for u get em for sure!
then again we have civic type r number plates on our demo lol

[shinji112]

[sitta]

hey wazza what colour did you get? i got a black one, ready to go on friday, its hard to stop smiling now. I didnt get the type r badge, well everyone knows that car it is already. Sit on it, looks awesome feels awesome, that engine is quite loud as well.

You cant just have alook at this car from the picture, you have to actually see it urself, it looks awesome, what car outthere got a triangular exhaust? and i thought the metal ball gear lever is bigger than it actually is not it looks small. but rear leg and head room is good, i sat on integra type s on the rear and my head was touching the roof, not on this one

Milano Red. If we had have been give the option of the 19'' Rage wheels then I would have chosen Night Hawk Black, but it wasn't to be....

I have to wait almost another month, Tasmania is always behind....

I hope for your sake that the milano red they use now is different to what they put on the ek civic's :eek: :zip:

[sitta]

i was confused either to chose the milano red or the black so i decided to look at the car first. When i look at them, this is my point of view, the red looks so much like a toy car i mean if the red is like ferrari red than its fine but its not. The black gives the car more strength

[locote]

Black FTW...
I so want 1 now LOL

[wassup]

does anyone know if any dealers in NSW have one in the showroom?

[locote]

No Lsd Ftl :(

[sitta]

nsw deale should be gettin them this week. i live in sydney and my dealer got them this morning, i had a look at them, paid them and mine is coming ready to pick up and drive friday afto

[dc2vtir]

lol dropped by peter warren today and they said theirs are coming in nxt week..im not actually lucky enough to afford one but i just wanted to have a look and test drive lol :p

[krazibone]

Before you get your car you might wanna troll the UK forums for known issues

http://www.civictype-r.co.uk (registration is required)

- Check whether the trimming on door is aligned apparently on some its not

- For Milano red drivers check the finish on the paint apparently its abit orange-ish

- 3rd gear issues - not engaging properly (http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=132568)

Looks like Wazza and Sitta have been camping there for a bit =)

[R123]

for the new CTR owners, when can we see some excotics pics?

[57UDD]

[hayashi_1986]

I'd sell BOTH my balls to have one lol
Congrats to all the happy owners on OzHonda :D

[aaronng]

That one is even newer than this UK CTR. And you can't bring them into Australia except through a private import. So you still have to wait 1 year.

[VTi_b0i]

So all u gotta do is wait 1 year, then import one privately?...
that sounds awsome! any idea roughly how much all up that would be in bout 1-2years time? I have relo's all over england so i can go over, buy one then have it sent back?

its as easy as that...NOT

hence why u see hardly any honda imports from UK

lets start with the car @ about 17,000pounds....convert that to Au, then how much it is to import it over on the boat, wont be cheap.

that idea is flopsville i thinks.:thumbdwn:

But why would you want to go to England to buy the FD2 CTR when it is a JDM model and is not released in England as a mainstream model either...

[VTi_b0i]

Well i thort the UK would get them, and as im english i could go over there, find one, keep it at my relatives then bring it over...i was also looking at EP3's aswell but that idea will be capped lol... anyideas how much would be spent getting the sedan from jdm land over here?

[Euro76]

I like the car however I'd rather choose the 166kw JDM Civic Type R...that's the most real Civic Type R.

[R123]

go and look it up in the trader section on cars. this is cool itr website in the UK www.itr-dc5.co.uk (http://www.itr-dc5.co.uk) if u havent been there already.

there have this popular trader bring it in (FD2 in CW oh YEH) saying they wont make any profit with the first one and the price tag is ard $20K Pds. the beast will be available on the road in sep. Still available i think... even thou thousands views on the thread. (one friendly reminder/warning, be ready to get blow away with those 50+ pics)

You can buy them as grey import in the UK, BUT private importing them to AUS is not that simple.

Yes you have to own the car overseas for atleast a year, AND you also have to show customs that YOU have LIVED overseas for roughly the same ammount of time. So its not as simple as buying the car and leaving it with friends or relatives.

[VTi_b0i]

ok well there goes that idea :( i want a focking CTR Sedan!@ dam i hate how we never get anyhting good here!

[kyle]

Ep3 > Ek9 > Fd2 > Fn2

[aaronng]

Ep3 > Ek9 > Fd2 > Fn2

LOL, the EP3 and EK9 are not as fast as an EvoVI/RX-7/NSX Type S around Suzuka.

[xtercii]

Ek1 > Ep3 > Ek9 > Fd2 > Fn2

shame the private import scheme doesn't work like that. need to spend 1 year in the UK without leaving and prove that your moving to Australia perminately if your not an Australian resident so you have to prove that a family member that owns the car is moving to Australia.

private import only works if you move to the UK or japan for a year buy and use the car(requires rego and parking permits) it can't just sit in a shed for a year.

I'd go back to the EP3 SEVS compliance idea if i was you.
