      In Honolulu, the dealer scalping fee is already about $3K for the regular Honda models, not considering the markup for it's supercars hot hatch status, known performance and such. As I commented, this particular one, being a 2019 with only 9K miles, and looks immaculate, and was traded in, probably for something they preferred more out of personal choice, I think it is a good deal.

    Today I saw a 2020 Civic Hatch at a Honda dealer in Jersey, with red Honda Badge on the front grill, among other things. I stopped to look at it because I thought it was a new Type R with a “wing delete” option that I didn’t know was offered.

    Best bang for your buck. 36k for a car that will be worth 25k + in 5 years is worth it... Then you take your type r sell it and have 30k down for that used GTR you've wanted now your a 10 second car owner.

    I bought my type r on the used market. I had to do basic maintenance but even after that it was well below msrp. At the end of the day it’s still a civic. The front brake calipers have been used by evos for years so the pad market is great, and the rear brakes are standard civic.

    The Type R Civic is a awesome machine. If I owned one though I would have to replace the racing track tires with something that would hold up more than 10,000 miles. All Honda needs to do is get rid of those fake grills front and back and they would really have a winner. As it is I'll give them a 9.5 out of 10. Great job Joe.

I heard 2020 will be announced after Thanksgiving and that they have tentative dates. Dealers are unwilling to budge even besides that
