Finally found a dealer that is offering a CW CTR for "only 5k" ADM, the flip side being it is maxed out on all the accessories available minus the roof rack options - which is another 6.5k ish on the Honda website. They are are saying blah blah labor and whatever so they are at ~9k in accessories. Do I want all of them? No, but a majority of them I would've gotten anyway. At the end of the day it puts me a few k over what I would have optioned on the ITS - which is fully optioned.

Send help! cant decide haha

This has been discussed at length in many other threads, but the one thing I'll point out is that 3 weeks ago, it was almost unheard of to get a CTR at "only" $5k ADM.

It's pretty commonplace now... so who's to say in another 3 weeks it's commonplace to get them at MSRP?

You run that risk... otherwise it comes down to cost vs worth, and instant gratification vs continuing to wait.

yea struggle...it is more commplace, just not so much in the DMV area. Seems like people here have money to blow and the lowest ive heard of is 10k + another 2-3k in accessories.

I'm in DMV too, got $5k over offered plus a fair trade on a brand new CTR that was actually set to arrive this week from Jim Coleman Honda. It was in transit and I told them I wouldn't pay over $50k and they obliged. Fairly easily I might add... actually pretty great guys to work with- but then I found my ITS the next day at MSRP and the rest is history.

I think at this point, just get what you want. If you want a civic, you can get one now for $5k over- if that's an acceptable amount to pay to have a car now, then go for it. Just be aware that the days of being able to get that money back are probably over. It's a sunk $5k for the privilege of buying a car. Just go into it with eyes wide open.

I guess if having a CTR now vs 3-6 months from now is worth $5k to you, go for it.

Won't be nice to stop on those dealers with absurd CTR prices with a big sign saying:
"Cheaper than the CTR here"
