it's exactly that yes, some people would stay clear as people rag them but very few dealers let people out on their own in a type-r so a sensible salesman should have kept a lid on things (you hope). Excellent deals can be had on new ones though so it's up to you, I would push for the Honda Happiness servicing package to be thrown in to sweeten it for you perhaps!
