free mats and tint and extended waranty
From enquiring its the mats, tint and warranty as well about 44K drive away, from what im aware they will not discount the car
Curious - are we talking Honda warranty or the dealership warranty?
ok my deal was 44000 with mats, tints, datadots, honda waranty is 3 years + extended delaer warranty of another 3 years
Mine is coming on Thursday [WA]
45k driveaway
12 month rego
free mats
dont think I get tinting
CANT WAIT!
You should ask for the 2 year Honda extended warranty rather than the 3 year dealer warranty.Quote:

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
front bumper between 800-980 fitted same for rear
everythign else bout 270 -500
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?
$250 for badges
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.
$44195 On Road
Free Mats
Free Type R Badging
Free Mud Flaps
Free Oil & Filter at 1000km
Free Slimline Numberplate (costs approximately $65 In Tasmania)
Free courtesy car until my car arrives
Free Type R Key Ring
Tank of BP Ultimate instead of Premium (only a couple of $$ really)
Plus I purchased
Front Skirt $895
Rear Skirt $895
Accent Lighting $295
you can just get the type R stickers from someone who can produce them that way you can save money
But you won't get the front grill badge still....Quote:

But 44195 sounds like a great deal - congrats!
:thumbsup:
wtf wtf 250 for a badge and two sticker....Quote:

by the way what colour CTR r u getting if you are getting red CTR get the black bodykit they look hot
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..Quote:
Originally Posted by industrie

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...
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.
It comes with the red H badges, but it doesn't have a badge that says "Type R".Quote:

The "Type R" badging everyone's talking about is this:
http://www.zcars.com.au/images/honda...llspecced1.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...alian-pricing/
looks complete with the type R badges, red would be the best colour!
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
man they even make u hafta buy those Type R badges?! honestly honda can go fist themselves coz thats just fkn stupid IMO u fork out 44k.. and they cant just give u some badges that cost them prolly less than $5 to make
ur going to buy a set arent u? :thumbsup: look good on the ej8 =DQuote:

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....Quote:

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:Quote:

Black FTW...
I so want 1 now LOL
does anyone know if any dealers in NSW have one in the showroom?
No Lsd Ftl :(
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
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
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/v...?f=90&t=132568)
Looks like Wazza and Sitta have been camping there for a bit =)
for the new CTR owners, when can we see some excotics pics?

i'm damned pissed at my honda dealer, should've had my CTR this week but they were goin on bout crap and saying cant be released til next week. But my persistence paid off with daily calls and hassles and now i'm gettin it 2moro.
Cant wait til i drive my baby.
congrats y'all .. i had a look on tuesday but the dealer only got it today (thursday) ... Rick D .... too bad my source of finance has flown back and didn't get to see the car ...

$45351
Includes,
Extended honda warranty
Tints
2 x Genuwine Floor Mats

you realy honestly cannot bargain with them at this early stage. they know they sell em.
What model is the 4 door CTR with the two circle tail lights? it could be a slightly older model, anyone know if we can get one of those?
I'd sell BOTH my balls to have one lol
Congrats to all the happy owners on OzHonda :D
How's the pick up on these little rockets anyhow?
Dey go velli velli fass wen weetec kick in??
Cheers! :wave:
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.Quote:

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...NOTQuote:

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...Quote:
Originally Posted by VTi_b0i

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

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.Quote:

ok well there goes that idea :( i want a focking CTR Sedan!@ dam i hate how we never get anyhting good here!
Ep3 > Ek9 > Fd2 > Fn2
LOL, the EP3 and EK9 are not as fast as an EvoVI/RX-7/NSX Type S around Suzuka.Quote:

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.Quote:

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