Less than four hours left and it’s under $50k. Let’s see what happens. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/9WZzOOVV/2023-honda-civic-type-r

@Mark
I predict the last-minute bidding frenzy will take it over the top. But just barely

@crswa @Mark I'm probably wrong, but I think enthusiast are tired of the huge markups. Of course the theory is that there is an infinite supply of rich people for whom $20k means very little but maybe they are back to spending their money of Fabergé eggs or something.

@dan @crswa often there is a big rush from people with high willingness to pay to be among the first to have things and then as supply increases it puts downward pressure on prices. Toyota will be making 8k of these a year. This car will be like getting a Supra or golf R. Plenty of dealerships will be selling at or close to MSRP.

@Mark @dan
Toyota is making Hondas now? Cool! 😂
Seriously, I think that's a low enough production run that all of those will be spoken for before they touch the ground. FOMO is a hell of a drug and someone's going to decide that this is their best chance to get an early one. As my wife frequently reminds me, though, I have been wrong in the past...
