Don't know mate, but I live in Manchester, and have seen about 4 (including mine) in the last 3 months.

where r they all??? i mean the dealer makes out they sold hundreds but iv not seen many around, not even that many civinfo tr members, so have we all been fooled?

m4rky · 30th August 2007, 17:50

I'm sure I read somewhere that 1 in 3 civics sold was a type R - I reckon it was written by Honda as I don't see that many on the road

malett · 30th August 2007, 19:45

I think you'll probably find that comment refers to the last (EP3) CTR.

I doubt it, I've only seen 1 in Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire in last month.

lol so true, but the dealer claims to have sold over 100, so lets say 10% of them r on this site, which here isnt, leaves me to think the stealer is lying yet again

Rocko · 1st September 2007, 11:43

100?

A family friend- who incidentally sold me my Type R, informed me that each dealership has been allocated a certain number by Honda, per year, to sell. His dealership (a rathe busy one) has 5 for the year.

I find it hard to believe one dealership could sell 100 Type R's.

I could be wrong though, I don't work for Honda.

what am I supposed to believe??????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????????:con fused:

Rocko · 1st September 2007, 11:55

I tried to shop around a bit, and visited Honda in Macclesfield (can't remember the name). When I mentioned the Type R, he wouldn't even entertain me, or the fact I was willing to put down a deposit on the day, and told me to come back in 3 months.

I went back to Arnold Clark Stockport, put the deposit down, and had the car 3 months later.

vtec-hungry · 1st September 2007, 11:59

Depreciation.

They're doing it to keep up demand and maintain value. If you flooded the market then they wouldn't be worth as much.

It's a good thing I think.
